Issue's with View Command

[J_Angry]

I made him print the camera variable, and it wasn’t nil. His problem seems to not be related to the camera being nil from what I gathered, it’s that the player and playerName variable is nil. I do agree that OP didn’t change the CameraType, so I agree with that statement.

From the server, the workspace.CurrentCamera returns the Camera in Workspace. This is not the same camera the clients use.

@itsmaxidev

event:FireClient(viewPlayer, camera, viewPlayer)

• With FireClient the first argument is everytime the client who will receive the request and isn’t an argument sent to the client.
• The second argument is the server Camera but you can’t and that literally return nil.
• The third argument is the player at who you send the request. Why?

@itsmaxidev

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player, cam, playerName)

Here you have three arguments but in fact you sent two arguments. You sent camera and viewPlayer.

So you print camera (nil), Player Instance and nil.

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = players.LocalPlayer -- Only in a LocalScript

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = rs.Events.viewEvent

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- Only in a LocalScript

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    local viewPlayer = player.Name
    local character = workspace:FindFirstChild(viewPlayer)
    if character then
        cam.CameraSubject = character.Humanoid
    end
end)

and server side:

event:FireClient(viewPlayer)

I think you wanna make a “spectate” but you make the client watch itself, that won’t change anything for him.

Alright, now I am not getting an error and it doesn’t work as how it is meant to be. It is still setting the camera to your player not the targeted player.

Because you set it that way. Like @NiniScripterXQc said:

event:FireClient(viewPlayer, camera, viewPlayer)

viewPlayer is the player who will spectate the other player.
Do not input the camera.
For your third input, you sent viewPlayer again?
This is why you cannot spectate anyone else.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local PlayerFromName = require(script.Parent.Parent.PlayerFromName)
local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local event = rs.Events.viewEvent

return function (admin, splitMessage)
    local viewPlayerName = splitMessage[2]
    local viewPlayer = PlayerFromName(admin, viewPlayerName)
    
    if not viewPlayer then
        return
    end
    
    event:FireClient(Players[admin.Name], viewPlayer)
end

local rs = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local event = rs.Events.viewEvent

event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(player)
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    cam.CameraSubject = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)

Thank you, I understand where I went wrong.
