How to fix a player's camera onto an object when Player joins

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I’m trying to make a script that fixes the Player’s camera onto a certain object as soon as they join, as demonstrated in the image below.

pppppp

I’ve seemingly tried everything imaginable at this point. I’ve tried every option in “Camera”, made scripts that would do it for me, nothing’s working.

What am I missing?

If you want the camera to be “stuck” on a position, use camera.CFrame, will move and orient the camera.

If you want the camera to follow a part, use camera.CameraSubject

First, change the camera type to scriptable to allow the camera to be moved. Then change the CFrame of the camera to move its position

Example:

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = TargetName.CFrame -- change to the target

This line doesn’t help, because the Camera switches automatically back to “Custom” when the Player loads in. How do I make sure that doesn’t happen?

Use a repeat loop:

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

Did exactly what you said, the Camera still remains as “Custom” even after long periods of time.

Just to be clear, is this script supposed to be a LocalScript?

of course its supposed to be in a local script because you want to access the client’s camera.

Make sure it’s not nil:

repeat wait() until workspace.CurrentCamera ~= nil

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

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

camera.CFrame = workspace.Test.CFrame

also yes, it needs to be in a LocalScript.

Try putting it in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts

This is what I get when I put the script in StarterPlayerScripts.

I receive no warnings when the script is in workspace, however the script doesn’t function regardless.

I don’t think you’re supposed to include the repeat wait() in line 3, the first line in Line #1 is fine enough

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

That’s your problem. LocalScript’s don’t run in Workspace.

Can’t reproduce that error. Copy and pasted into my local script and I didn’t get that.

Apologies, I had the script completely wrong.
It’s working fine now. Thanks.
