Intro Camera Script Issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey everyone!

I’m currently working on a Camera Introduction script for my game. When the player joins the game, their camera will move around different parts of my building until they press a play button. The script doesn’t have anything that sets it off, it’s just a localscript under StarterGui.

The issue is simple. When the player resets their character, it’ll re-execute the localscript even if it’s destroyed/disabled. Does anyone have the adequate knowledge to provide a solution for this? Would adding a CharacterAdded/PlayerAdded event help?

If you need the script, let me know, but I don’t think it’s needed as this would happen with any ordinary localscript.

Only thing I can really think of, is if the script is in a ScreenGui you could disable the ResetOnSpawn property but that isn’t the case

Try putting it in StarterPlayerScripts instead

I just realised that I don’t have the camera script fully working yet so I can’t see if it restarts on reset or not. The issue is I don’t know how to reset the camera to view the character again, I’ve tried multiple ways but it doesn’t work. The script is below. What could I add in that would reset the player’s camera?

local button = script.Parent

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()

button:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 167,0, 47),"Out","Quad",0.1,true)

end)

button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()

button:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 152,0, 39),"Out","Quad",0.1,true)

end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

camera.CameraType = "Custom"

camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid

camera.CameraType = "Custom"

camera.CFrame = player.Character.Head.CFrame

script.Parent.Visible = false

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",2,true)

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Visible = true

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",3,true)

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Frame3.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Frame3:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",3,true)

wait(1)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Welcome.Visible = true

wait(1.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kool.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kafe.Visible = true

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (1/3)")

wait(1)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (2/3)")

wait(2)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (3/3)")

wait(3)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.01, 0,0.01, 0),"Out","Quad",2,true)

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kafe.Visible = false

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kool.Visible = false

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Welcome.Visible = false

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Visible = false

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.AllGui.Enabled = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Point.Enabled = true

wait(1)

game.StarterGui.IntroGUI:Destroy()

StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.All, true)

player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen:Destroy()

end)

Where is the script located? Depending on its location, you shouldn’t need Character/PlayerAdded.

#5

It’s now in StarterPlayerScripts and still functions efficiently thanks to @JackscarIitt, but I’m not sure if it’s fixed the issue which I created this topic for due to the above post! ^

#6

Ah okay, so you want to reset the camera? Is it the function inside of the script.Parent.MouseButton1Click?

If so, you could just do something like this:

-- Declare the function by itself
local function doCameraStuff()
    camera.CameraType = "Custom"
    camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid
    camera.CameraType = "Custom"
    camera.CFrame = player.Character.Head.CFrame
    script.Parent.Visible = false
--...

-- Same connection as before, just declared differently.
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(doCameraStuff)
-- Call the function again if the character is added
game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(doCameraStuff)
#7

Yes, it’s inside a MouseButton1Click! Could you rewrite this incorporated into the script as I’m not sure how to add it in. Sorry! :frowning:

#8

I did. I just added the first few lines of your MouseButton1Click connection into a function, you can just paste the rest.

#9

So, I made another LocalScript under the TextButton. Would this be it?

No, it should be the same script.

local button = script.Parent

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

button.MouseEnter:Connect(function()

button:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 167,0, 47),"Out","Quad",0.1,true)

end)

button.MouseLeave:Connect(function()

button:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0, 152,0, 39),"Out","Quad",0.1,true)

end)

local function doCameraStuff()

camera.CameraType = "Custom"

camera.CameraSubject = player.Character.Humanoid

camera.CameraType = "Custom"

camera.CFrame = player.Character.Head.CFrame

script.Parent.Visible = false

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",2,true)

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Visible = true

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",3,true)

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Frame3.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1.Frame2.Frame3:TweenSize(UDim2.new(4, 0,4, 0),"Out","Quad",3,true)

wait(1)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Welcome.Visible = true

wait(1.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kool.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Kafe.Visible = true

wait(0.5)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Visible = true

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (1/3)")

wait(1)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (2/3)")

wait(2)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.TextLabel.Text = ("Loading Assets... (3/3)")

wait(3)

script.Parent.Parent.Parent.IntroScreen.Frame1:TweenSize(UDim2.new(0.01, 0,0.01, 0),"Out","Quad",2,true)

player.PlayerGui.IntroScreen:Destroy()

end

game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(doCameraStuff)
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(doCameraStuff)

This is what I needed, thanks! Unfortunately, there is an error. :frowning:

My bad, forgot to remove the parentheses at the end. I made an edit that should work.

#13

Didn’t work. :frowning: No errors for the script specifically, although I’m not sure which one it is out of these:

#14

My bad again, I made an edit to that post. Should work now.

#15

The button works now but the camera doesn’t reset to the player; I don’t see any errors.

#16

Does it work when you press the button or no?

#17

No, it doesn’t reset the camera.

#18

I’m confused as to what you mean by reset the camera. You want it to be type custom and the CameraSubject to be the humanoid?

#19

Yep. I want it to go from viewing a CFrame position somewhere else in the building back to viewing the humanoid of the player.

#20

Well the script I gave you is only going to whatever clicking the button does. That isn’t what you want?
