Is it a localscript? because you can’t change a player’s camera with a server script
Yeah its a localscript, everything prints so i know the event fires and it gets to the point where it changes the camera

Have you tried using Position?
Position won’t work because I am setting the CFrame and there is no Position property for the camera

Ok, then try something like this to find out what is causing it?
script.Parent.SetCamera.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(inorout)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
print(inorout)
if inorout == "In" then
print("Viewing GunAim Part")
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
else
print("Normal Camera")
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = hum
end
end)
Works just fine, I am pretty sure it is something to do with the CameraSubject

Set CameraSubject to the part or a humanoid placed in the part??
WAIT!!! Have you set camera type to scripted / script ?
It looks like the issue might be that you’re using game.Workspace.CurrentCamera instead of player.Camera . In Roblox, every player has their own camera object, so you need to use player.Camera to reference the camera associated with the local player.
Try changing this line:
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
to this:
player.Camera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
This should set the camera’s CFrame to the position and orientation of the GunAim part.

It looks like the Camera property of the Player object has been removed in a recent update of Roblox. Instead, you can use the Workspace.CurrentCamera object, which is the camera that is currently being rendered to the player’s screen.
try changing this line:
player.Camera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
to this:
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
This should set the camera’s CFrame to the position and orientation of the GunAim part.

Change your camera type to script / scripted!
A scriptable camera type will not let the camera move as the player moves

That is what I previously had.

In that case, it might be that the SetCamera event is not being fired, or that the argument passed to the event handler is not equal to "In" . You can add a print statement to the event handler to see what the value of inorout is when the event is fired:
script.Parent.SetCamera.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(inorout)
print(inorout)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if inorout == "In" then
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
else
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = hum
end
end)
This will print the value of inorout to the output window, which can help you determine if the event is being fired and what the argument is.

It’s been proven that it fires and it does get set to in and the code runs:
Where is the local script located?

It’s located right inside of a tool

It’s parent is the same as the part’s parent, as you can see from the code.
In that case, it’s possible that the GunAim part doesn’t exist in the script.Parent object. You can add a check to see if the part exists before trying to access its CFrame property:
script.Parent.SetCamera.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(inorout)
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
if inorout == "In" then
if script.Parent:FindFirstChild("GunAim") then
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = script.Parent.GunAim.CFrame
else
print("GunAim part not found")
end
else
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = hum
end
end)
This will print an error message to the output window if the GunAim part is not found in the script.Parent object, which can help troubleshoot the issue further.
