Cafe Menu GUI [Camera Issues]

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello! Recently I’ve been creating a Menu GUI, specifically for a cafe game that allows a player to set in a part, then prompts them the GUIs like:

Although, everything is working following this code:

local CloseButton = script.Parent.Frame.Frame:WaitForChild("CloseButton")
local NextButton = script.Parent.Frame.Frame:WaitForChild("NextButton")
local BackButton = script.Parent.Frame.Frame:WaitForChild("BackButton")

local Menus = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Menus")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local currentCameraIndex = 1
local cameraList = {}
local touchPart = Menus.MenuArea1:WaitForChild("TouchPart")
local menuGui = script.Parent.Frame

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

-- Populate cameraList with cameras and set them inactive
for i = 1, 3 do
	cameraList[i] = Menus.MenuArea1:WaitForChild("Camera" .. i)
end

-- Function to switch between cameras
local function switchCamera(direction)
	currentCameraIndex = currentCameraIndex + direction
	if currentCameraIndex > #cameraList then
		currentCameraIndex = 1
	elseif currentCameraIndex < 1 then
		currentCameraIndex = #cameraList
	end
	Camera.CFrame = cameraList[currentCameraIndex].CFrame
end


-- Button events
CloseButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if CloseButton.Text == "Open Menu" then
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		Camera.CFrame = cameraList[currentCameraIndex].CFrame
		CloseButton.Text = "Close Menu"
	elseif CloseButton.Text == "Close Menu" then
		Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
		Player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
		CloseButton.Text = "Open Menu"
	end
end)

NextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	switchCamera(1)
end)

BackButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	switchCamera(-1)
end)

-- Set up touch part events
touchPart.Touched:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsA("Model") and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and Humanoid.Health > 0 then
		menuGui.Visible = true
	end
end)

-- Reset camera and menu visibility when player leaves the part
touchPart.TouchEnded:Connect(function(hit)
	local character = hit.Parent
	if character and character:IsA("Model") and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		menuGui.Visible = false
	end
end)

One of my main issues, is being able to create MORE Menu lists, but using the Same UI/Script. So I had the hierarchy in Workspace of:


Inside of course:


So I’m a little curious… I tried asking ChatGPT 100 times, but how can I possibly make a Table or a ForLoop, to check inside WHICH area they’re in, so whether that’s MenuArea1, or MenuArea2, then finding that TouchPart and those Specific Cameras, then place the CFrame on that.

In Which, I already solved, but am having troubles with having multiple areas.

Any ideas? Would love the help!

With multiple areas you can use collectionservice and add a tag for each folder and do :GetDescendants/:GetChildren don’t know whether you want to check the player or part but you can parent either the player’s character/part to the menu areas and check that through looping.
Edit: just do :GetDescendants on the Menus folder

		end)
	end
end

I got this to work, although, I’m having issues with the CurrentCamera being set to the player FIRST instead of going to the board right away:

Got it to work, had to be because of the For Loop and Closebutton function I think. Lol, W.

Edit: It’s randomly choosing other menus, it’s not sticking with that dedicated menu. What is wrong?
