Repeat until an animation marker has been reached

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So, I’ve been making a difficulty chart obby, and the first thing I wanted to do is to play a cutscene when you first join. But I’ve ran up into an issue in my script in which the look loop doesn’t work.


Here is the script I made.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")

Events.PlayCutscene.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local IntroAnimation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Intro) :: AnimationTrack
	IntroAnimation:Play(0)
	IntroAnimation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("StartCameraLook"):Connect(function()
		print("start")
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
		repeat
			workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
			task.wait()
		until IntroAnimation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("StopCameraLook")
		print("stop")
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	end)
end)

Try this instead

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Events = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Events")

local updateCameraEvent = nil

Events.PlayCutscene.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local IntroAnimation = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(script.Intro) :: AnimationTrack
  
	IntroAnimation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("StartCameraLook"):Connect(function()
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

        if updateCameraEvent then return end

        updateCameraEvent = RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
        	workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = CFrame.lookAt(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position)
        end)
	end)

    IntroAnimation:GetMarkerReachedSignal("StopCameraLook"):Connect(function()
        if updateCameraEvent then
            updateCameraEvent:Disconnect()
            updateCameraEvent = nil
        end

	    workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    end)

    IntroAnimation:Play(0)
end)

This worked as nicely as it could. Thank you!
