Camera Not Working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I am trying to make a script to talk to someone. I want to script it so when you click them a gui at the bottom of your screen pops up and your camera goes to a part infront of the characters face. I have no errors, but it the camera moving doesn’t seem to work, everything else does.

Here is my script (in the torso of the character I want to talk to):

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
	local space = game:GetService("Workspace")
	local players = game:GetService("Players")
	local CurrentCamera = space.CurrentCamera
	local part = workspace.CamPart

	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	CurrentCamera.CFrame = part.CFrame
	
	plr.PlayerGui.ShopGui.Enabled = true

	hum.WalkSpeed = 0
	hum.JumpPower = 0
end)

Thank you for your time!

Is this a server script or a local script? I think editing the camera requires it to be client sided instead of server sided since you’re trying to edit something that is different for each client

It is a regular script, is it possible for you to elaborate a bit more on how I would edit the camera with a local script? Thanks :slight_smile:

Try converting the entire script you have right now to a localscript, it should work if you do that, I think you’d have to change

plr.PlayerGui.ShopGui.Enabled = true

to

players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ShopGui.Enabled = true

I tried this and it didn’t work, I think that click functions don’t work in local scripts :confused:

Wait wait, you’d have to put the localscript inside of somewhere where tehy can run, maybe put it in StarterPlayerScripts and change script.Parent to the location of the clickdetector?

local detector = --Location of detector

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local localplr = players.LocalPlayer

detector.MouseClick:Connect(function(plr)
	if plr ~= localplr then return end
	local hum = plr.Character.Humanoid
	local space = game:GetService("Workspace")
	
	local CurrentCamera = space.CurrentCamera
	local part = workspace.CamPart

	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	CurrentCamera.CFrame = part.CFrame
	
	plr.PlayerGui.ShopGui.Enabled = true

	hum.WalkSpeed = 0
	hum.JumpPower = 0
end)

Localscripts can’t run in the workspace
