Camera script being ignored after 1 death

i have a camera script that worked after death multiple times but now its not because of my main menu script enabling it.
heres the camera script

can someone help cuz im honestly stuck and would really appreciate help

You need to require your camera module for it to work. Modules also don’t have an Enabled bool

4

im not following what you mean could you provide me an example possibly, sorry

5

in your enableScripts() function, you should enable the camera script, as in:

local mainCamera = require(player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("MainCamera"))

althought your camera module is completely clientside so you have to disable/enable it on the local user’s end, not on the server’s

6

ah i see now well after acknowledging and changing it kinda just gives me errors

15:11:13.845 Attempted to call require with invalid argument(s). - Client - Client:157

7

hmm, maybe instead of that you should require after the camera script is confirmed to exist?

local mainCamera = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("MainCamera")
require(mainCamera)
8

if you would like i can message you the 2 scripts

9

sure, I’ll help with what I can

10

alrighty i really appreciate the help!

11

where is this script located? if not in starterscripts then it wont work

12

camera is in startergui same as menu
