Camera freezing when tabbing out and back in after first death (long scripts but help appreciated)

[Troublemaiker (Trouble)]

Hello devs
im bringing an issue up that i took a break on but am hoping its the last small fix that will ever be needed with this script

recently i solved with help the issue of the camera locking up after 1 death but another issue that popped up when i respawn is not the camera locking instantly but locking up when i tab out of roblox or roblox studio and then back in

heres the locking up on death post i made

Camera locking up after death for no dang reason (help appreciated big script though)

hello im just going to put it out here at the start of this that there are no debugs no main errors the script is working without error but not doing what i want, it works so well absolutely perfect up until the player dies, then when they respawn it locks the camera at a 45 degree angle up and cannot be moved here are screenshots [image] [image] first one is what the player sees and no matter what i change it just cannot be moved the second one is the server view the player exists it di…

if that helps

screenshots dont really help anymore so i will send a short clip of my issue

External Media

i also guess a single screenshot would help it doesnt snap up but it does lock the camera in the last known position of the mouse

here are the two last scripts from the other forum post that were given.

just gonna shine some light back on this as ive found no issue still

[bobowawahaha]

Tabbing out can cause the mouse behavior to change. To solve it, just change it back to lock center.

InputService:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MouseBehavior"):Connect(function()
	InputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
end)

Hi, sorry for the late reply so the script for the camera originally did that and it works fine when i first spawned in but after dying and i tab out and back in it locks up so im thinking its mainly the jumpscare effect script, thank you though!
