Camera manipulation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to create a dealership system for my game, but I can’t figure out how to switch the camera back from the part to the player. I just want to know how to access the player model in workspace from a script without using the player’s name, or if you have a more efficient way, I’d be happy to hear it.

#2

Can you show me your code?

Also have you tried any solution yet?

#3

Here’s the code for the button to change the camera back to the player (doesnt work)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function(player)
game.ReplicatedFirst.CameraChanger1.Disabled = true
script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = workspace.Player.Humanoid
script.Parent.Parent.Parent.UI.Enabled = true
end)

And the camera code :

while wait() do

function cameraPos ()

local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild(“CameraPart1”)

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

wait(0.01)

camera.CameraSubject = part

wait(0.01)

– camera.CameraType = ‘Scriptable’ (yes i know this is a comment)

end

cameraPos()

end

also, ive tried using the player function for the username, and using “Player” or “LocalPlayer” in the place of the players name (in workspace), and nothing works

#4

Are you sure about that part of your code ?

(nvm I was wrong)

Humanoid can’t be a CameraSubject, you should put the camera on the head of the player.

If you script is running in a GUI, I recommend using

local player = script:FindFirstAncessorWichIsA("Player")
local chr = player.Character
if not chr then return end
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = chr.Head

I’m not a big scripter so I’m not sure if this code works but its the better I can do.

#5

Try

workspace[Player.Name]

Currently, you’re referring to workspace.Player (which doesn’t exist because you’re referring to “Player” and not the actual Player)

#6

This should be the button script:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedFirst.CameraChanger1.Disabled = true
	script.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.UI.Enabled = true
end)

Also the reason why is it not working, its because the cameraPos() function is inside a loop.

Use break to stop the while wait() loop and it should work

#7

Humanoid can’t be a CameraSubject, you should put the camera on the head of the player.

This isn’t true. CameraSubject is set to the humanoid by default.

#8

Oh ok, sorry for that mistake. I edited my script
