Camera Freezeing Upon Joining

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

When I join my game, my camera freezes most times and I cannot see my character or do anything.

Here is an example of what it does:

I believe it does this because of a script in my game which I use for my spectate system to work. Here is the script:

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
sp = script.Parent
Spectating = false
Index = 1
Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

function Watch(player)
	if player and player.Character and Camera.CameraSubject ~= player.Character then
		Camera.CameraSubject = player.Character
		script.Parent.CS.Text = "Currently Spectating: " .. player.name
	end
end

function ChangeState(bool)
	if bool == nil then
		Spectating = not Spectating
	else
		Spectating = bool
	end
	
	if Spectating then
		
	else
		Watch(Player)
	end
end

function CurrentMinigame()
	return workspace.CurrentMinigame:GetChildren()[1]
end

function IncrementIndex(num)
	local TempIndex = Index + num
	local Minigame = CurrentMinigame()
	local TempContestants = Minigame.MinigameInfo.TempContestants
	local Contestants = TempContestants:GetChildren()
	
	if TempIndex > #Contestants then
		TempIndex = 1
	elseif TempIndex < 1 then
		TempIndex = #Contestants
	end
	
	Index = TempIndex
end

script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	ChangeState()
end)

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(Input)
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		IncrementIndex(-1)
	elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		IncrementIndex(1)
	end
end)

script.Parent.PreviousButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	IncrementIndex(-1)
end)

script.Parent.NextButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	IncrementIndex(1)
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
	local Minigame = CurrentMinigame()
	
	if Minigame then
		local TempContestants = Minigame.MinigameInfo.TempContestants
		local Contestants = TempContestants:GetChildren()
		
		if not TempContestants:FindFirstChild(Player.Name) then
			if Spectating then
				IncrementIndex(0)
				Watch(Contestants[Index].Value)
			end
		else
			script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.Visible = false
			ChangeState(true)
		end
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.Visible = false
		ChangeState(false)
	end
end)

Since the character is a model, it cannot be the subject.

Instead, do:

 player.Character.Humanoid

same with

Here is my updated code:

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
sp = script.Parent
Spectating = false
Index = 1
Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

function Watch(player)
	if player and player.Character.Humanoid and Camera.CameraSubject ~= player.Character.Humanoid then
		Camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
		script.Parent.CS.Text = "Currently Spectating: " .. player.name
	end
end

function ChangeState(bool)
	if bool == nil then
		Spectating = not Spectating
	else
		Spectating = bool
	end
	
	if Spectating then
		
	else
		Watch(Player)
	end
end

function CurrentMinigame()
	return workspace.CurrentMinigame:GetChildren()[1]
end

function IncrementIndex(num)
	local TempIndex = Index + num
	local Minigame = CurrentMinigame()
	local TempContestants = Minigame.MinigameInfo.TempContestants
	local Contestants = TempContestants:GetChildren()
	
	if TempIndex > #Contestants then
		TempIndex = 1
	elseif TempIndex < 1 then
		TempIndex = #Contestants
	end
	
	Index = TempIndex
end

script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	ChangeState()
end)

UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(Input)
	if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
		IncrementIndex(-1)
	elseif Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		IncrementIndex(1)
	end
end)

script.Parent.PreviousButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	IncrementIndex(-1)
end)

script.Parent.NextButton.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()
	IncrementIndex(1)
end)

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:connect(function()
	local Minigame = CurrentMinigame()
	
	if Minigame then
		local TempContestants = Minigame.MinigameInfo.TempContestants
		local Contestants = TempContestants:GetChildren()
		
		if not TempContestants:FindFirstChild(Player.Name) then
			if Spectating then
				IncrementIndex(0)
				Watch(Contestants[Index].Value)
			end
		else
			script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.Visible = false
			ChangeState(true)
		end
	else
		script.Parent.Parent.Main.SpectateButton.Visible = false
		ChangeState(false)
	end
end)

I now get this error:

Humanoid is not a valid member of Model

It errors on this line of code:

if player and player.Character.Humanoid and Camera.CameraSubject ~= player.Character.Humanoid then

Also, I’ll be honest, I got this code from a tutorial.

Use :WaitForChild("Humanoid"), the character model loads in before the Humanoid does, so it will cause an error without doing this
