Getting Position of a object that has not loaded (Streaming Enabled)

Thedagz · October 3, 2020, 7:44pm

Context : I am trying to set the player camera frame to a specific part location
Problem: The part does not exist when the player spawns into the game because of streaming enabled

I looked at Player | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub
this solution, but this seems like it involves already knowing the position of the object,

The object is static so I could just copy and paste the position but is there no other way around that?

Let me know if I’m missing something or missing anything obvious I am new to streaming enabled

The part exists - the server sees all

You have two possible solutions to this issue:

Fetch the position of the Camera Part via a RemoteFunction or RemoteEvent
Call the Player::RequestStreamAroundAsync method from the server via a RemoteEvent (or alternatively, do it on their CharacterAdded event?)

I do like the 2nd method more I’ll do that thanks!

Perfect!

If that doesn’t work, please let me know your specific code and I can help debug - or if it does, mark as solution

Works perfectly I used the requeststream function in a playeradded
