Script working rarely

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So i was doing a proximity prompt that makes you teleport into a certain block, makes your screen go black and change the camera type i don’t know what does that the script to work at rare times i don’t see anything in the output here are the scripts:

Inside Script:

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.OutSide.Position
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
player.CameraMode = “Classic”
player.PlayerGui.TransitionGui.Enabled = true
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.TransitionGui.Enabled = false
end
end)

Outside script:

local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent
ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.Inside.Position
for i, player in pairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do
player.CameraMode = “LockFirstPerson”
player.PlayerGui.TransitionGui.Enabled = true
wait(1)
player.PlayerGui.TransitionGui.Enabled = false
end
end)

please can someone help me with this?

This could be why, if you’re wanting to change every Player’s CameraMode, you’ll have to create a RemoteEvent & place it inside ReplicatedStorage which will transport communication between the client-server/server-client and etc

You can call FireAllClients() to let the script know when to change the CameraMode variable, then on a LocalScript you can detect when that event gets sent using OnClientEvent

--Server

--Script 1?
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.OutSide.Position
    
    Event:FireAllClients("Outside")
end)

--Script 2?
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = workspace.Inside.Position
    
    Event:FireAllClients("Inside")
end)

--Client, this should be inside StarterPlayerScripts as a LocalScript
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
local TransitionUI = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("TransitionGui")

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent")

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Type)
    if Type == "Outside" then
        Player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
    elseif Type == "Inside" then
        Player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
    end

    TransitionUI.Enabled = true
    wait(1)
    TransitionUI.Enabled = false
end)

nope. i still have the problem maybe it’s beacuse my max zoom and min zoom is at 7? cuz i locked it at 7

#4

I highly doubt that’d be the case

Did you change everything I said? It should still work regardless, even just adding print statements would help debug the issue a bit further

#5

i created the remote event into the replicated storage on the bricks there is a new script which is a normal script beacuse local script didn’t work i also made the local script in starterplayerscripts so idk what is wrong

#6

i literally don’t understand i tried printing but when it didn’t work it also did not print so i don’t really know what to do

#7

I suppose you’re trying to change camera mode and make the screen go black when a proximity prompt is triggered. Put the localscript under ProximityPrompt, and put the serverscript under ServerScriptService

edit: try using the debug tools too: Debugging | Roblox Creator Documentation

edit 2: also don’t use fireallclients in a localscript under proximity prompt. you need to fire clients in a server script

but the script in “Inside” and the “Outside” are normal scripts bot local scripts

#9

bot local scripts? what do you mean? Also rechecking your script, you put both the scripts in ProximityPrompt. try this

--inside proximityprompt, a localscript

local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("remoteEvent")
local ProximityPrompt = script.Parent

ProximityPrompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
      Event:FireServer(player)
end)

--server script
local Event = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Event")
local changeCameraMode = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("changeCameraMode")

Event.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
      player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position = --bla bla bla
      changeCameraMode:FireClient(player)
end)

then, when the server fires the client script like @JackscarIitt’s solution, you’ll need to change the camera mode.

i did the script in serverscriptservice did the position to Inside for testing but now it doesn’t work at all

(also i did that local script inside proximity prompt)
