Camera problems with my menu

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently working on a menu for my game and I have experienced some bugs.
When ever you press my deploy button the camera is suppose to change from scriptable to custom and the players camera should start following the players character.
But instead the camera changes to scriptable, why is this happening?

local player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local run = game:GetService('RunService')

local cp = workspace:WaitForChild('Cam')
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local maxDegree = math.rad(45)

repeat
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until 	cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if player.Team == game:GetService('Teams'):WaitForChild('Lobby') then
		local mp = Vector2.new(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
		local centre = Vector2.new(cam.ViewportSize.X/2, cam.ViewportSize.Y/2)
		local difference = mp - centre

		local outcome = Vector2.new((difference.Y/centre.Y)*maxDegree, (difference.X/centre.X)*maxDegree)
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(-outcome.X, -outcome.Y,0) + cp.Position
	end

end)


local frame = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('Frame')
local deploy = frame:FindFirstChild('Deploy')
local event = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('Spawn')

deploy.Activated:Connect(function()
	print('Deploying')
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	print(cam.CameraType)
	event:FireServer()
	wait(1)
	repeat
		cam.CameraSubject = player.Character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid')
		print(cam.CameraType)
		local cframe = CFrame.new(player.Character:FindFirstChild('Head').Position)
		cam.CFrame = cframe
		cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	until cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Custom
	print('Camera changed')
end)

Thanks for the help

Also please note that this is my first post and I have like no idea what I’m doing so if you have any tips they are much appreciated

Important Notice

• All the repeats will just bug out if something goes wrong so, just change the camera once.

• If you set the CameraType to Custom it automatically sets their view back to normal.

• Only reason the CameraType could bug is if the player hasn’t loaded yet therefore, you can add a wait(1) at the beginning.

Full Script: 

-- Extra wait here

local player = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer

local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local run = game:GetService('RunService')

local cp = workspace:WaitForChild('Cam')
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local maxDegree = math.rad(45)

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

run.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if player.Team == game:GetService('Teams'):WaitForChild('Lobby') then
		local mp = Vector2.new(mouse.X, mouse.Y)
		local centre = Vector2.new(cam.ViewportSize.X/2, cam.ViewportSize.Y/2)
		local difference = mp - centre

		local outcome = Vector2.new((difference.Y/centre.Y)*maxDegree, (difference.X/centre.X)*maxDegree)
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.Angles(-outcome.X, -outcome.Y,0) + cp.Position
	end

end)


local frame = script.Parent:FindFirstChild('Frame')
local deploy = frame:FindFirstChild('Deploy')
local event = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage'):WaitForChild('Spawn')

deploy.Activated:Connect(function()
	print('Deploying')
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	print(cam.CameraType)
	event:FireServer()
	print('Camera changed')
end)
