I made a working spectate button while kind of theres a few big problems. The game is a obby so people die alot but when you die it stops spectating and its annoying. The next is there is no option to spectate nobody after you spectate someone. You can play here with a buddy to see what I mean The Game. Could you help
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local number = 1
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
script.Parent.NextButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
number = number +1
if players[number] ~= nil then
camera.CameraSubject = players[number].Character.Humanoid
script.Parent.Label.Text = "Spectating"..players[number].Name
end
if players[number] == nil then
number = 1
camera.CameraSubject = players[number].Character.Humanoid
script.Parent.Label.Text = "Spectating"..players[number].Name
end
end)
You are getting a table of players only once? when the script runs for first time local players = game.Players:GetPlayers()
You are not handling the chance a new player joins or leaves server.
I would suggest create an empty table, then on PlayerJoin event add it to the table, on player leaves event remove it from the table, then on player die event, fire a remote to allClients with the name of the player who died, in the client’s local script make the espectator players to check if the player who died is the same one that they are expectating, and change the camera subject to the next one on the table.
I would probably add a bool into the dictionary, to allow or not allow that player to be spectated, in that way, if player dies, set that bool to false, when they respawn change it true
Thats a client script, the script I mean should be done on a new server script in ServerScriptService. I’d love to help you if you start with some of the script :3

This right here would mean if they die it goes up plus one. So if its just you and someone then they die then it stops speactating I belive this is whatit is but I want to make sure?
Also with this script you can spectate people on a different teams right?
If the person being spectated dies it tries to go to the player directly behind or in front of the player in the table but if it cant do that then it will stop spectating, you could remove the image but you would have to remove the lines in the script that reference it
