Hey Scripters,

I am helping my friend make a menu screen and the buttons in Surface GUI won’t work with a custom camera CFrame. How can I make buttons in a Surface GUI work with a custom camera CFrame?

What is the

script? i think Guis work even with a custom camera script

I mean, like the current camera’s position, and yes, it does work, but the surface GUI will not work.

Is this the 3d menu thingy you are trying to make?

#5

Yes, that is what I am trying to make.

Do you want the Camera to go on the menu?

Or did you accidentally make the buttons a “TextLabel” instead of a “TextButton”

Put this on the command bar if you have it enabled

local p=Instance.new("Part",workspace)p.CFrame=workspace.Camera.CFrame p.Name = "CameraMenu" p.Anchored=true p.CanCollide=false p.Transparency=1

Then set the name to “MenuCamera” or something

Then try this local script ( not tested )

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Camera.CFrame = workspace.MenuCamera.CFrame

It is a TextButton and it is not that whenever I interact with the button it doesn’t work with the camera script.

Can i see the camera script then

Camera Script:

local CurrentCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MenuCam = game.Workspace.CameraPart
local Focus = game.Workspace.Focus

workcam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
workcam:Interpolate(MenuCam.CFrame, Focus.CFrame, 0.015)
#10

change this to Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

I think workcam does not exist there

local CurrentCam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local MenuCam = game.Workspace.CameraPart
local Focus = game.Workspace.Focus

CurrentCam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
CurrentCam:Interpolate(MenuCam.CFrame, Focus.CFrame, 0.015)
#11

I’m still unable to interact with the buttons.

#12

its because it isnt scripted yet

Example ( Wont work )

local Play = workspace.Part.SurfaceGui.Play

Play.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

end)
#13

It is scripted. Here:

local CurrentCam = workspace.CurrentCamera

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)
#14

The script.RunContext must be set to client or a LocalScript from StarterPlayerScripts

#15

I still cannot interact with the button.

#16

Tick ‘AlwaysOnTop’ on the SurfaceGui :slight_smile:, also a general rule of thumb for the majority of interactable surfaceGuis to put them in the Players PlayerGui folder, rather than the workspace, and set the adornee - tends to work much better and be much easier to organise.

You Can Try To Make Invisible Button Or A Bit Visible On SurfaceGui, So You Can Interact With Button(-s) Or Something, If You Want Else, Idk, Maybe Set Interactive Radius To inf So You Can Press It From Anywhere. That All I Can Say.
