Scriptable camera turns to custom once my character loads

[sebek20095 (JohnMan)]

So i have this problem where i am making a start menu and setting the camera type to scriptable to move it to a part. When i playtest the game tho, it instantly switches back to custom, and the rest doesnt work.
What i tried: some solutions i could find on other posts, code from free models and the roblox documentation thing.

Could I see the code you have written turning the camera type to scriptable?

[sebek20095 (JohnMan)]

yea here it is

(the script is a child of the part)

[sebek20095 (JohnMan)]

also when i change cameratype before renderstepped it changes to custom the same way

Based off what I’m seeing, it looks like the code may not be running at all.

Instead of

repeat wait() until workspace.CurrentCamera

I’d recommend:

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

You could use :WaitForChild() instead, same functionality and maybe more reliable, though you’d likely be fine just getting the camera off the bat from the client side.

[sebek20095 (JohnMan)]

the same thing happens with both

[Divine_Foxx (Solstice)]

Odd. Replicating the same instance by just using .RenderStepped worked fine with me.

Here, instead try it this way:

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local camPart = workspace:WaitForChild("CameraPart")

repeat 
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until cam.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

cam.CFrame = camPart.CFrame

This avoids constantly setting the camera type and waits until it is set to Scriptable. Though I don’t know the viability and efficiency of this method, it works. Go ahead and try it.

so i tried this way

(dont mind the image cut off)
it didnt output anything, not even the first one

[Divine_Foxx (Solstice)]

Two things:

1. Where is the script located and what kind of script is it?
2. Is there anything else that is output by the script? Like errors?

[sebek20095 (JohnMan)]

1. its a localscript under the camerapart
2. nothing

[Divine_Foxx (Solstice)]

That’ll be the issue then. A LocalScript will not run under the Camera object. I’d advise parenting it under your ui in “StarterGui”.

thx that worked, didnt know i was this stupid lol

Glad I could be of help!

P.S., remember to mark a reply as a solution once you’ve reached one
Happy scripting!
