You need to do it like this.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer --or game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camerapart = script.Parent
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
print("Started!")
RunService.Stepped:Connect(function()
camerapart.Position.X = Vector3.new(head.X)
camerapart.Position.Y = Vector3.new(head.Y)
camerapart.Position.Z = Vector3.new(head.Z)
print("Camera changed")
end)

Where is the script parented to? is the camera part locally created

#4

Script is parented to camera part and camera part is a sphere in workspace

#5

You can’t call game.Players.LocalPlayer on a Script.

#6

#7

Local Script inside of a part?

I want the camera part to move with the player

Ignore the random people my friend wanted me to add people

#9

So you want the part to move with the player? And the camera to be the part?

Yeah that’s what I want so its kinda like follows the player

#11

First of all, you can’t have a LocalScript inside a part. Those only run on the client-side.

#13

No not really (character limit)

#14

Put the local script in StarterCharacterScripts

RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
camerapart = game.Workspace["Sphere_or_whatever_you_named_it"]:Clone()
camerapart.Parent = game.Workspace
print("start")
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
    camerapart.Position.X = Vector3.new(player.Character.Head.X)
    camerapart.Position.Z = Vector3.new(player.Character.Head.Z)
    print("loop")
end)

Is it a LocalScript? If yes, copy everything you have inside it and delete it from the part.

You misspelled camerapart. (Character limit)

#17

Does the script work? @R41NB0W4C3

#18

He can’t have errors because it won’t run on a local script inside of a part.

#19

Im testing it rn (character limit)

Edit: Error says “X cannot be assigned to”

#20

Ok. Let me know if it works. If it doesn’t, I have a script I think should work.

#21

Ok, question. Do you want the camera to be the exact position of the camera part?
