This works but it’s very inefficient (you’re indexing a lot of instances in order to reach the desired “TextButton” instance).

Secondly, the “MouseButton1Click” event of TextButton/ImageButton GuiObjects does not pass the player instance as an argument to any callback function connected to it via the instance method “:Connect()”.

Here’s how this code should be written.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local ExitButton = script.Parent

ExitButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	ExitButton.Visible = false
	Camera.CameraSubject = Humanoid
end)

You should avoid referencing instances from within the “PlayerGui” folder if possible and instead use local scripts parented to the GuiObject instances themselves.

I didn’t even reference startergui. I referenced player gui.

Typo on my end, I meant you shouldn’t refer to instances from within the “PlayerGui” when it can be avoided.
