How to make it when a player clicks a part, it changes the camera of the player to another part

I’m hopefully trying to get as the title said, the camera to change once a player clicks it.
I’m not entirely sure how the camera system works so I could be doing something wrong.
Not sure if it’s a client side only, or if I can fire it on server side. My current script goes as follows

local part = game.Workspace.camcam


part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(mouse)
	local player = mouse
	local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
	camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
	if player then
		print("Player " .. player.Name .. " clicked the part.")
		camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(game.Workspace.newcam.Position)
	end
end)

Once I do this it doesn’t change the players camera. However I have seen and watched some tutorials before that have “enum” but I’m not sure where I would put that. I have a feeling that I am not actually setting the players camera to anything. If theres anything I can do to fix this, it would be greatly appreciated.

not familier with cameras, but maybe try camera.CFrame = game.Workspace.newcam.CFrame

Change the camera subject on the local side to the part you want the camera to attach to

How would I do that? Since click detectors use server scripts, I’m not exactly sure how to get to the client side. Remote events don’t work as thats client to server

#5

Remote events can handle server-to-client and client-to-server. Since your click detectors are used in a server script, you can use a remote event to fire to the player that clicked it and manipulate the camera from the local script that handles the remote events.

Alright good to know. I apologies for the questions, but how do I make the remote event client to server?

For my new script on the part you click it is

local click = script.Parent.ClickDetector
local part = script.Parent

part.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(mouse)
	local player = mouse
	game.ReplicatedStorage.camera:FireClient(player)
end)

and on my script inside replicated storage it is

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local cam = rs:WaitForChild("camera")

local function changecamera()
	print("fired, at least")
	local part = game.Workspace.camcam

	local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
	camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
	camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(part.Position)
end

cam.OnServerEvent:Connect(changecamera)

use RemoteEvent:FireServer() in a LocalScript

Oh, it’s basically showing nothing is popping up when I click on my part, changed the local script to use :FireServer()

I recreate this for you

Script:

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeCamera")

script.Parent.MouseClick:Connect(function(Player) -- by default, the first parameter of MouseClick is the Player

RemoteEvent:FireClient(Player) -- SENDING SIGNAL TO PLAYER

end)

Client:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- CAMERA

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") -- REPLICATED STORAGE
local RemoteEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("ChangeCamera") -- REMOTE EVENT

RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function() -- PLAYER RECEIVING THE SIGNAL
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable -- CHANGING CAMERA TYPE
	
	Camera.CFrame = workspace.newcam.CFrame -- CHAGING CAMERA CFRAME TO NEWCAM CFRAME
end)
