How to make working cameras in Gimkit! (Difficulty 5/10)

For over a year, Gimkit users have been itching to make cameras since Gimkit Creative’s
release date on May 10, 2023. Well, here it is!! The tutorial on how to make cameras in Gimkit!

Here’s what you need: 3 Camera Views, 3 Buttons, 3 Teleporters, a trigger, a text, and 2 types of blocks of your choice (I used dark scraps and concrete in this situation).

Part 1 (Loading Screen): Get 1 Camera View, 1 Button, 1 Teleporter,
a text, and a trigger, and arrange them like in the following image (I would recommend building around the edges like I did. Also, only the inner 4 blocks is floor, the rest is wall):


I just stuffed everything in one spot except for the text which is below so the player can see that they are on a loading screen. The button is used to get into the camera system, basically a power button. Set the trigger delay to 2-5 seconds, to make the illusion of loading like on old-fashioned computers.
Now everyone’s favorite part: WIRING!! Just wire it like in the following image:

If you are having trouble with wiring, here is a clear image to help you:

I wired the button with the teleporter even though it’s hidden behind the trigger.
Anyway, that’s it for part 1! Let’s get started with part 2!!

Part 2 (Actual camera selection screen): Get 1 Camera View, 2 Teleporters, and 2 buttons and arrange it like so (In this all of the dark scraps are floor, and only
the concrete is wall so you can put more cameras if you’d like):


Now wire like in the following image (This WILL also connect part 1 to this part):


If you are having trouble with wiring here are clear images of what I wired:

I wired the trigger and teleporter together.

For this, I wired a button (used to get out of cameras) to a teleporter.
Anyway, let’s get onto the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the easiest part (AKA cameras)!

Part 3 (Actual Camera!!): Get 1 Camera View, 1 Button, and a teleporter and arrange like so:


Now wire part 2 with this part, here’s an image to help:

Isn’t there a guide about this already?

Yea, but mine is way more simplified and it works just as well.

great guide! it has a little lacking when it comes to explaining but the pictures make up for it! :smiley:

Nice guide! As Coderdash already said, it lacks explanation, but the pictures easily balance it all out.

Umm… dont know if I’m missing something, but you can just use camera point, it was like kinda why they were made.

Yeah, I agree. But it is cool how you figured out a way to make cameras without the camera point! Props to you! Also, you integrated it well so nice job!

Well, I’m not the best at explaining, but my guides are good!
