Oops, sorry, forgot to commit, hold on
What on Earth is .p may I ask? I’m guessing it’s short for .Position
The line you provided is currently erroring, here is the modified code
game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(113260028).Parent = script.Parent.ViewportFrame
local model = script.Parent.ViewportFrame:WaitForChild("Player")
model.Name = " "
model.PrimaryPart.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
script.Parent.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
camera.Parent = script.Parent.ViewportFrame
camera.CFrame = model.PrimaryPart.Position

Here is a tree of the objects just incase this helps:
sorry for the late response, does the model have a primary part?
Yes, once it’s imported, it automatically assigns a PrimaryPart to the Head
Great, I didn’t see the error before, but now I do.
This should be:
camera.CFrame = model.PrimaryPart.CFrame
Still nothing sadly
Here is the new code:
game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(113260028).Parent = script.Parent.ViewportFrame
local model = script.Parent.ViewportFrame:WaitForChild("Player")
for _, v in pairs(model:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
v.Anchored = true
end
end
model.Name = " "
model.PrimaryPart.Position = Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)
local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
script.Parent.ViewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera
camera.Parent = script.Parent.ViewportFrame
camera.CFrame = model.PrimaryPart.CFrame
I had simillar issue with my game however I kinda managed to fixed it with a new camera Vector ( Vector3.new(12,6,-4) also set camera as scriptable
local camOffset = Vector3.new(12,6,-4)
local viewportCamera = Instance.new("Camera")
viewportCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
viewportCamera.Parent =
viewportCamera.CFrame = CFrame.new(g.HumanoidRootPart.Position + camOffset, g.HumanoidRootPart.Position))
I’m throwing in the towel, nothing works still, I’ll upload the model file, if anybody can help I’d be thankful

So I’ll tell you this.
local mcf = model.PrimaryPart.CFrame -- character's cframe
local center = mcf.Position + mcf.LookVector*10 -- 10 studs from the character
local lookingAt = mcf.Position
camera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(center, lookingAt)
^^ This will tell the camera to position 10 studs in front of the primary part, and look at the primaryPart. If you want it to look at the head or the arm or whatever, just change lookingAt to the head’s position or the arm’s position or whatever.
[Note] CFrame.lookAt is the same as CFrame.new except lookAt takes a 3rd arguement which is the UpVector. UpVector is (0,1,0) by default. You could change this and make the Camera tilt. It’s pretty neat.
This might be the issue, the way you spawing you player model makes it all scattered around in the Frame so you didn’t see it but on the actual gui you can see some of the items.
This still doesn’t seem to fix my issue, maybe I’m dumb but I cannot figure this out at all
That’s strangle, the method that was used in the script is the one that doesn’t break, why has it suddenly just screwed itself up again

Update: This is really strange, it works completely fine in the command bar using game.Players:CreateHumanoidModelFromUserId(113260028).Parent = game.Workspace
So there’s this thing called a client-server model. And how that translates into Roblox experiences is that "LocalScript"s only run on client machines and "Script"s only run on the server. I got the impression that what you are doing is entirely client-based, but when I opened your model it was in a Script.
StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts – used for LocalScript (s)
StarterGui – used for both LocalScript (s), ScreenGui (s), BillboardGui (s) if you want to, SurfaceGui (s) if you want to.
Now. You can place ViewportFrame (s) inside of ScreenGui (s), BillboardGui (s), and SurfaceGui (s). (I think you can at least.)
So my suggestion is to create a ScreenGui inside of StarterGui and then place a ViewportFrame inside of the ScreenGui. Place a LocalScript inside of the ViewportFrame and then edit the viewport using code.
I don’t want it to be on the screen, what my goal is to make a small leaderboard that the top player is shown in a Viewport that slowly rotates
I understand the client-server networking model but, I don’t understand why the server cannot handle viewports
Well let me add this then:
Camera – client-only; not replicated.
Hm, wait, yeah I should add a LocalScript to insert it’s own Camera into the Viewports, I feel dumb now
Thank you

So it took me a while because I’ve never worked with ViewportFrame ever. But after researching I’ve come to a better understanding. For this model, place the LocalScript in StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts, place Face in Workspace, and place SurfaceGui in StarterGui.
In my experience, I set the Adornee of the SurfaceGui to Face, placed a wait() after the character construct function call, moved everything to a local script, and placed SurfaceGui into StarterGui.
[1st edit] I’ve no idea why you can’t just leave the SurfaceGui in the Face part and leave Adornee blank.
[2nd edit] I don’t think ViewportFrame works if it is not in PlayerGui. Therefore you must put SurfaceGui in PlayerGui (game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui (which StarterGui will do for you)), and then set the Adornee of the SurfaceGui to the part. But only if it has a ViewportFrame.

I can’t thank you enough, thank you very much
While doing a bit of tinkering, I believe it would be a good idea to load the avatar into Workspace first, then move it back into the Viewport because for some reason all of the accessories and attachments mess up
E.g.
char.Parent = game.Workspace
wait(2)
char.Parent = vp
