Player Camera not swapping to new character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

This is the script in a local inside the playerscripts:

local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
lantern=game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Lantern")
lantern.RemoteEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character)
	game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject=game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
	StarterGui:SetCoreGuiEnabled(Enum.CoreGuiType.Backpack, true)
end)

and here is the server script inside the tool:

fire=game.ServerStorage.Tools.Lantern.LanternFire:Clone()
	fire:PivotTo(Emitter.Parent.WorldCFrame)
	fire.Parent=workspace
	script.Parent.RemoteEvent:FireClient(player)
	pchar=player.Character
	player.Character=fire
	pchar.Parent=workspace

I think what happened is that you were setting the player’s character to the fire

Is the new character you are switching to already in the workspace?
Also can you show what the variable pchar is?

pchar is the players character before the switch, i define it so i can keep it in the workspace after the character switch
