'Invalid value for enum CameraType'

Trying to set the Camera’s CFrame via Remote Event.

Local Script 

function SetCameraPos(object, Status)
	local cam = workspace:WaitForChild("Camera")
	cam.CameraType = Status
	cam.CFrame = object.CFrame
end

--[[local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local cutsceneTime = 12

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	cutsceneTime,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	false,
	0
)

function tween(part1, part2, cutsceneTime)
local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
	cutsceneTime,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	false,
	0
)

	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CFrame = part1.CFrame
	
	local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweenInfo, {CFrame = part2.CFrame})
	tween:Play()
	
	wait(cutsceneTime)
	
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end

game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(startPt, endPt, timeLength)
	tween(startPt, endPt, timeLength)
end)--]]

game.ReplicatedStorage.SetCameraCFrame.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(obj,Stats)
	SetCameraPos(obj, Stats)
end)

Server Script 

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.SetCameraCFrame:FireClient(plr, workspace.Camera1, Fixed)
	wait(5)
	--[[game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene:FireClient(plr, workspace.Camera1, workspace.Camera2, 15)
	wait(15)]]--
end)

It says in the output that it’s an invalid value for enum CameraType. Is there anything that I’m doing wrong here? There’s also an orange line under ‘Fixed’ in line 2 of the Server Script. So maybe it has to do with that?

#2 
cam.CameraType = Status

Should be

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.TYPE

remove the Arg: “Status” and change TYPE to ur camera type preference

In this case:

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Fixed

Would be it

#3

Right, but I also wanna run the same remote event to change it to Custom cameratype.

#4

Okay. So where is the Arg: “Status” coming from?

#5

Sending it from the remote event from the server all the way to the func

should we continue in dms to not spam

#6

Try to make Status as two variables in the SetverScript like this:

local StatusFixed = Enum.CameraType.Fixed
local StatusCustom = Enum.CameraType.Custom

Make both those variables an Arg in the ServerScript when u fire the client.

In the LocalScript, instead of a “Status” Arg, carry over the two new Args and put them in the local script.

Then use the ServerScript to switch between both by using

else

Or something similar.

Make sure u change “Status” in the ServerScript to the corresponding Variables.

Like this?

local MakeCamScriptable = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local MakeCamCustom = Enum.CameraType.Custom

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
	game.ReplicatedStorage.SetCameraCFrame:FireClient(plr, workspace.Camera1, MakeCamScriptable)
	wait(5)
	--[[game.ReplicatedStorage.Cutscene:FireClient(plr, workspace.Camera1, workspace.Camera2, 15)
	wait(15)]]--
end)
game.ReplicatedStorage.typewriter:FireAllClients("This text is for the typewriter tutorial.", 0.05)

(tried this didn’t work)

#8

you can simply replace

cam.CameraType = Status

to:

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType[Status]

This should fix your issue

I tried that and it didn’t work…
:thinking:

#10

change cam.CameraType = Status to cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType[Status] and make Fixed in the server script a string like "Fixed".
Alternatively you could just send "Fixed" or Enum.CameraType.Fixed and leave it as that, as a cameratype doesn’t need to be an enum.

Tried every option and it’s not working. IQ dropping fast.

#12

what is not functioning?
Did you send Status as a string ?
