Set the camera’s type to “Scriptable” and tween it. If the tween is completed you can set it back to “Custom”

local LPlr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MyCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local TweenDuration = 3

local JustDied = false

local function SetupChar()
	LPlr.Character.Humanoid.Died:Once(function()
		MyCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		JustDied = true
	end)
	
	if JustDied == true then
		JustDied = false
		local Tween1 = TS:Create(MyCam, TweenInfo.new(TweenDuration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = LPlr.Character.Head.CFrame})
		Tween1.Completed:Once(function(state)
			if state == Enum.PlaybackState.Completed then
				MyCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
				MyCam.CameraSubject = LPlr.Character.Humanoid
			end
		end)
		Tween1:Play()
	end
end

repeat task.wait() until LPlr.Character
SetupChar()
LPlr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	SetupChar()
end)

disabled the “CharacterAutoLoads” property of game.Players, and whenever u wanna spawn the character, just do “Player:LoadCharacter()”

i gave u the script, it will tween the camera cframe to ur character’s cframe tweening is smooth version of changing property values with given tweeninfo

The script i gave u should be in a LocalScript inside the client’s stuff such as StarterPlayerScript, it will automatically do the animation for u whenever ur character loads, u dont need to change it, whenever ur server decides to load ur character when u press the button, the animation begins

rn its a local script in the respawn button like this but if i respawn, the camera becomes scriptable but it does not tween:

local LPlr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local MyCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")

local TweenDuration = 3

local JustDied = false

local function SetupChar()
	MyCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	JustDied = true

	if JustDied == true then
		JustDied = false
		local Tween1 = TS:Create(MyCam, TweenInfo.new(TweenDuration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = LPlr.Character.Head.CFrame})
		Tween1.Completed:Once(function(state)
			if state == Enum.PlaybackState.Completed then
				MyCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
				MyCam.CameraSubject = LPlr.Character.Humanoid
			end
		end)
		Tween1:Play()
	end
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	SetupChar()
end)

because u did not use my whole script,

u did not add this:

repeat task.wait() until LPlr.Character
SetupChar()
LPlr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
	SetupChar()
end)
#15

like i said earlier, theres nothing u need to do, just spawn ur character using serverscript when button has been activated, the script i gave u is automatic, the only thing u can change in my script is the TweenDuration amount

remove this

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	SetupChar()
end)

it will stack up the function and make ur function weird

no u see, when the player gets killed by the bigger block, the smaller player actually gets destroyed so it doesnt trigger characteradded like in a good way like heres what happens

#20

also in the Tween

		local Tween1 = TS:Create(MyCam, TweenInfo.new(TweenDuration, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear), {CFrame = LPlr.Character.Head.CFrame})

change the LPlr.Character.Head.CFrame into LPlr.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame

turns out ur character doesnt have head, but i assume it atleast have PrimaryPart property value
