Camera stays where the player dies

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Sometimes when the player dies or resets, the camera stays where they died. It’s worth noting that I haven’t had this issue in any previous builds of my project (going back a year or two). This issue popped up recently when I came back to the project. I haven’t touched camera settings since I came back so it’s really weird.

So far I’ve tried adding multiple pieces to scripts to return the camera to the humanoid but nothing has worked (hence this post):

Localplayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	repeat wait() until Localplayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = Localplayer.Character.Humanoid
end)

and

game.Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

(These are located in StarterGUI)

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Have you tried putting this inside a ScreenGui?

It technically is
the whole hierarchy is StarterGUI → ScreenGUI → Menu (Frame) → this script

oh i just realized that when player die, all localScripts inside starterGui will reset or run again, except when resetOnSpawn property on ScreenGui equal to false

resetonspawn is set to true for my screrengui so I don’t think that’s the issue

I’ve looked around some more. I’ve put multiple scripts/localscripts all over the starterGUI
I’ve put a localscript in the startercharacterscripts and tried to reset on character death, delayed after death, when certain menus are no longer visible (propertychangedsignal/attributechangedsignal)
The only thing I’ve got working as a temporary solution is I can press P to re-center the camera on the humanoid manually. but no matter what I do, it refuses to do it automatically. I’m completely stuck and feel like I’ve exhausted all my options

I think there is a bug where the roblox camera controller script tries setting the players camera first so try this:

Localplayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Died:Connect(function()
	repeat wait() until Localplayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = Localplayer.Character.Humanoid
    CurrentCamera:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CameraSubject"):Wait()
    CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = Localplayer.Character.Humanoid

end)

Sorry for the bump, but I have a question. Does Humanoid.Died run on LocalScripts as well?
