There is a method called Wait which stops the thread from continuing until the signal fires

Event:Wait() -- replace this with the function you wanna wait for

I got an error

Wait is not a valid member of RemoteEvent "ReplicatedStorage.CameraFocus"

Mb, that has to be an RBXScriptSignal. (something like .Touched)
so as an example:

part.Touched:Wait()

You are attempting to call the Wait() on an instance, it is only exposed by RBXScriptSignals so for a RemoteEvent that would be RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent or RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent.

There is a built in function that let’s you know when a player has joined the game:

ReplicatedStorage.CameraFocus.OnServerEvent:Wait() as @NinjaFurfante07 mentioned
