I’m trying to make a character selector, but the camera isn’t following the character

local:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer()
end)

server

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
	local clone = game.Workspace.Rig:Clone()
	clone.Name = player.Name
	clone.Parent = workspace
	clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	player.Character:Destroy()
	player.Character = clone
end)

Make the characters, then set the current camera mode to Scriptable, then set the CFrame of the camera to the new character.

Is there any function that can check if the player’s character was made, also would this method follow the character

#4

local:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(workspace.CurrentCamera)
end)

server

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, camera)
	local clone = game.Workspace.Rig:Clone()
	clone.Name = player.Name
	clone.Parent = workspace
	clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	player.Character:Destroy()
	player.Character = clone
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
    camera.CFrame = clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame;
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
end)

i’m getting this error “attempt to index nil with ‘CameraType’”

#6

When you say it doesn’t move with the character, is it unmovable or positioned at an incorrect angle?

#7

the camera is unmovable and doesn’t move with the character although you can rotate it

#8

Try

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = [the new model humanoid rootpart]

In the localscript

#9 
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(workspace.CurrentCamera)
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
end)

didnt work

#10

The subject must be the new model, not the current.
You could try

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
      workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = char.HumanoidRootPart
end);

But it would be better for you to access the new character directly, consider possibly modulizing this as firing another remote event to the client giving it character information would probably work, but seems excessive.

Tried the second option and it worked!

Code for anyone who has the same problem:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent:FireServer(workspace.CurrentCamera)
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnClientInvoke = function(player)
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player, camera)
	local clone = game.Workspace.Rig:Clone()
	clone.Name = player.Name
	clone.Parent = workspace
	clone.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
	player.Character:Destroy()
	player.Character = clone
	game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction:InvokeClient(player)
end)
