Play Button GUI Camera Not Resetting to the Player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve recently been struggling and trying to find an answer to this very weird issue.

When players join the game, their camera is set to a part called “MenuCamera” in the workspace. This is a camera that displays a backdrop of the game preview.

Desired functionality: When the textbutton called “Button” under the frame “Spawn” is clicked, it should make the UI invisible as well as set the player’s camera back to the default around the player.

Issue is, it does make the UI invisible but the Camera is not set back properly.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Attached below, the LocalScript located within the GUI itself, controlling the changes for both the UI and the local player’s character.

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local events = RS.Events

local ui = script.Parent
local menu = ui.Menu
local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local part = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("MenuCamera")
local music = ui.Music
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = plr.Character

local function enable()
	ui.Enabled = true
	repeat camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable wait() until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CFrame = part.CFrame
	music:Play()
	char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = true
end

local function disable()
	ui.Enabled = false
	music:Stop()
	char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").Anchored = false
end

menu.Spawn.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	camera.CameraSubject = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	disable()
end)

menu.Drive.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	menu.BackgroundTransparency = 1
	menu.Drive.Visible = false
	menu.Spawn.Visible = false
	menu.Title.Visible = false
	menu.Depot.Visible = true
	menu.Settings.Visible = false
	--menu.Credits.Visible = false
end)

menu.Depot.Exit.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	menu.Depot.Visible = false
	menu.Train.Visible = false
	menu.BackgroundTransparency = 0
	menu.Spawn.Visible = true
	menu.Title.Visible = true
	menu.Settings.Visible = true
	menu.Drive.Visible = true
	--menu.Credits.Visible = true
end)


for i, v in pairs(menu.Depot:GetChildren()) do
	if v.ClassName == "ImageLabel" and v.Name ~= "Exit" then
		v.Button.Activated:Connect(function()

			menu.Depot.Selected.Value = v.Name
			v.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(.6,.1,.1)
			repeat task.wait(0.1) until
			menu.Depot.Selected.Value ~= v.Name
			v.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
		end)
	end
end

			v.ImageColor3 = Color3.new(0,0,0)
		end)
	end
end

menu.Train.Confirm.Button.Activated:Connect(function()
	local yard = menu.Depot.Selected.Value --needs to be equal to a model.Name with the same string located in the Yards folder of the Signalling Folder in the workspace
	local train = menu.Train.Selected.Value --needs to be equal to a model.Name with the same string located in the Trains folder of RepStor
	local route = "M01" ----will be based on newer UI choices later. M01 is the code for the first route
	if yard == "" or train == "" or route == "" then
		error("Player did not select one of the settings!")
	else
		print(yard)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SpawnTrain:FireServer(char, yard, train, route)
		disable()
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Events.SpawnTrain.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(msg)
	menu.Train.Confirm.Button.Text = msg
	enable()
end)

local SignalMeanings = true

	end
end)

because you did not set the camera type back
add this to your disable function

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom

edit: I just saw that

#3

This is where I did that, I should have specified this is where that was supposed to be.

#4

when you say it did not set back properly
is the camera still stuck in the main menu part after you click spawn?

#5

Yes that’s correct. The camera stays at the MainMenu Part’s CFrame, and using a print() function it displays the camera.CameraType as = Fixed as if it went back to normal but it did not.

#6

sorry for the late reply but I’m pretty sure CameraSubject can only be a Part

Humanoid Isn’t a Part
Try HumanoidRootPart Instead

#7

Also sorry for the late reply, but I tested it with HumanoidRootPart instead and it still didn’t work, also if I’m not mistaken Humanoid can be the subject in CameraSubject

#8

my bad I just look it up
anyway I tried recreating your script and it was working fine for me
Have you try changing

to

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

#9

I have realized that the issue was not with the script itself but due to another localscript also interacting with the workspace’s Camera. try to consolidate everything or at least make sure nothing runs that overrides your changes.
