Camera Type Not Changing to Custom

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am trying to make an intro screen for my game that has a camera that moves around with the mouse movement.

Everything works, but the camera isn’t resetting even though I set it to Custom. There are no errors in the output.

I tried game.RunService.RenderStepped:Disconnect() because I found that somewhere but it seems to not work. Here is the script.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true


local mouse = player:GetMouse()


local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = workspace.IntroScreen.Camera.CFrame


local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local mainMenuGui = script.Parent.MainMenuGUI


local mainMenuBG = mainMenuGui:WaitForChild("Frame")

local playBtn = mainMenuBG:WaitForChild("Play")


local originalCFrame = camera.CFrame
local scaleFactor = 1000


game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()


	local centreOfScreen = Vector2.new(camera.ViewportSize.X / 2, camera.ViewportSize.Y / 2)

	local mouseDistanceFromCentre = Vector3.new((-mouse.X - centreOfScreen.X) / scaleFactor, (mouse.Y - centreOfScreen.Y) / scaleFactor, 0)


	camera.CFrame = originalCFrame * CFrame.new(originalCFrame.LookVector + mouseDistanceFromCentre)
	
	

end)


local playButtonClicked = false

playBtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	if playButtonClicked then return end
	playButtonClicked = true


	mainMenuBG:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-1, 0, 0, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 3, true)


	wait(3)


	character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.IntroScreen.PlayerPos.CFrame
	
	mainMenuGui:Destroy()
	

	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

After the play button is clicked, the camera is stuck here.

Try doing LoadCharacter() as well? There’s been some weird issues with the Camera acting strange

No I haven’t, but I checked an the character loading and spawning works fine.

Unless there is some other reason you need to do LoadCharacter()

Doesn’t seem to work any other suggestions?

Just for debugging purposes, try putting the CameraType through a repeat wait() loop?

Once I do that, the script makes it a custom camera.

Do you have any ideas?

repeat wait()
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Custom

You tried doing this right?

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local centreOfScreen = Vector2.new(camera.ViewportSize.X / 2, camera.ViewportSize.Y / 2)

	local mouseDistanceFromCentre = Vector3.new((-mouse.X - centreOfScreen.X) / scaleFactor, (mouse.Y - centreOfScreen.Y) / scaleFactor, 0)

	camera.CFrame = originalCFrame * CFrame.new(originalCFrame.LookVector + mouseDistanceFromCentre)
end)

I guess this is your problem, you aren’t unbinding or disconnecting it after pressing the play button?
You need to make a connection variable like:

local updateConnection = nil

updateConnection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect()

thingtopress.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
 if updateConnection then
  updateConnection:Disconnect()
 end
end)

Doesn’t seem to work here is my current code

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true


local mouse = player:GetMouse()


local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = workspace.IntroScreen.Camera.CFrame


local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")


local mainMenuGui = script.Parent.MainMenuGUI


local mainMenuBG = mainMenuGui:WaitForChild("Frame")

local playBtn = mainMenuBG:WaitForChild("Play")


local originalCFrame = camera.CFrame
local scaleFactor = 1000




game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local centreOfScreen = Vector2.new(camera.ViewportSize.X / 2, camera.ViewportSize.Y / 2)

	local mouseDistanceFromCentre = Vector3.new((-mouse.X - centreOfScreen.X) / scaleFactor, (mouse.Y - centreOfScreen.Y) / scaleFactor, 0)

	camera.CFrame = originalCFrame * CFrame.new(originalCFrame.LookVector + mouseDistanceFromCentre)
end)


local playButtonClicked = false
local updateConnection = nil

updateConnection = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect()

playBtn.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

	if playButtonClicked then return end
	playButtonClicked = true
	
	


	mainMenuBG:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(-1, 0, 0, 0), Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, 3, true)


	wait(3)
	
	if updateConnection then
		updateConnection:Disconnect()
	end
	

	character.HumanoidRootPart.Anchored = false
	character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = workspace.IntroScreen.PlayerPos.CFrame
	
	mainMenuGui:Destroy()

	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

end)

you need to define the variable updateConnection
then add updateConnection at the game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function():

updateConnection = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local centreOfScreen = Vector2.new(camera.ViewportSize.X / 2, camera.ViewportSize.Y / 2)

	local mouseDistanceFromCentre = Vector3.new((-mouse.X - centreOfScreen.X) / scaleFactor, (mouse.Y - centreOfScreen.Y) / scaleFactor, 0)

	camera.CFrame = originalCFrame * CFrame.new(originalCFrame.LookVector + mouseDistanceFromCentre)
end)

remove updateConnection = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect() you placed
updateConnection must be with all variables at the top
