Camera stays put when you respawn

[cheesy_roblox190]

for some reason when I die, the currentcamera does not update to the new character when it respawns.
This is the code that sets the currentcamera cframe to a part in the workspace.

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	currentcam.CameraType=Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	currentcam.CFrame=maincam.CFrame
	
end)

I have seen similar posts like this before, but none of them were helpful.

You could bind the event when the character dies, the camera would return to its original type.

Something like this:

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
	currentcam.CameraType=Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	currentcam.CFrame=maincam.CFrame

	character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		-- your code about the camera
	end)
end)

@AlaTomKing

character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
		-- your code about the camera
	end)

Do you know how to reset the camera to the player? Do I use cameraSubject?

I got one word: currentCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

Hey! First of all, make sure it’s not a server script. If you use CharacterAdded in a LocalScript, It wont detect your player joining because you character spawns before the localscript executes. I would either just fire a remoteEvent from the server to the client whenever the player joins/dies OR just remove the CharacterAdded function and add a wait() before changing the camera CFrame. The player’s camera won’t move, even when he dies.

LocalScript:

wait()
currentcam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
currentcam.CFrame = maincam.CFrame

Its a localscript. The characteradded event doesn’t work when I first join the game even though I added the wait() before it
Oh and by the way, I have another piece of code located in the same localscript that is supposed to fire when the player presses a button

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	currentcam.CameraType=Enum.CameraType.Custom
	shopgui.Visible=false
	closeevent:FireServer()
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Visible=false
	end
end)

I don’t recommend using CharacterAdded in a LocalScript.

@Youf_Dev

If you use CharacterAdded in a LocalScript, It wont detect your player joining because you character spawns before the localscript executes.

It shouldn’t be a problem if you have more code in the local script, just do this:

-- Changing the camera CFrame to maincam
wait()
currentcam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
currentcam.CFrame = maincam.CFrame

-- CODE
button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	currentcam.CameraType=Enum.CameraType.Custom
	shopgui.Visible=false
	closeevent:FireServer()
	for i, v in pairs(script.Parent.Parent:GetChildren()) do
		v.Visible=false
	end
end)

Tell me if it works. If it does, mark it as a solution

I used CharacterAppearanceLoaded instead, and it worked!
