The Camera isn't locking to the Player's Character

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Today, I’m trying to make a working voting system. Once the players finishes voting they will spawn in the map.

The issue is that when the LocalScript activates “LoadPlayer” function, the camera doesn’t lock into the character of the player even though the CameraType was set to custom.

I tried setting the CameraType in testing and found out that the game is automatedly setting the Camera Type to Scriptable when I tried to change it. There are no scripts in the game that is changing the Camera Type to Scriptable in a loop so it couldn’t be the case.

Any help is appreciated!

local Frame = script.Parent
local Status = Frame.Parent:WaitForChild("Timer")
local GUI = Frame.Parent.Parent

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TimeValue = RS:WaitForChild("VoteTime")
local MapEvent = RS:WaitForChild("MakeMap")
local VoteFolder = RS:WaitForChild("Votes")
local AssignTeam = RS:WaitForChild(",,.><l.io2h^%Htdegy^Y&HNNJY ^m^464RUYj7uyi75i65=-0-=-0po0-jpio7654cyvjukikjtdv67v6jvj j vv vj v v kv")
local DoneVoting = false

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local HealthBar = Frame.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("HealthBar")
local MobileShiftLock = Frame.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("MoblieShiftLock")
local EnergyBar = Frame.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("EnergyBar")
local Inventory = Frame.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("BackpackGUI")
local CardsSytem = Frame.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild("EventCards")

function GetChosen()
	local PlaceVotes = {
		["Kings Hills"] = VoteFolder['Kings Hills'].Value,
		["Golden Desert"] = VoteFolder['Golden Desert'].Value,
	}
	local Highest = 0
	local Place = nil

	for i,votes in pairs(PlaceVotes) do
		if votes > Highest then
			Highest = votes
			Place = i
			print(i)
		end
	end	
	return Place
end

function LoadPlayer()
	local Cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
	Cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	Cam.HeadLocked = true
	print("Head Locked")
	AssignTeam:FireServer(Player)
	local HealthScript = HealthBar:WaitForChild("Health")
	local EnergyScript = EnergyBar:WaitForChild("Energy")
	Theme:Stop()
	HealthBar.Enabled = true
	EnergyBar.Enabled = true
	MobileShiftLock.Enabled = true
	Inventory.Enabled = true
	CardsSytem.Enabled = true
	HealthScript.Disabled = false
	EnergyScript.Disabled = false
	GUI.Enabled = false
end

function StartTimer()
	for i = 20, 0, -1 do
		wait(1)
		print(i)
		TimeValue.Value = i
		Status.Text = TimeValue.Value
	end
	print("Time Done")
	local ChosenPlace = GetChosen()
	if ChosenPlace == nil then
		Status.Text = "It was a Tie! Vote again!"
		wait(1)
		StartTimer()
	else
		Status.Text = ChosenPlace.." got the most votes!"
		wait(3)
		Status.Text = "Loading Game..."
		MapEvent:InvokeServer(ChosenPlace)
		wait(5)
		LoadPlayer()
	end
end

GUI.Changed:Connect(function(obj)
	if obj == "Enabled" and GUI.Enabled == true then
		StartTimer()
	end
end)

I think the problem is that the script cannot find the player, so I would recommend setting the camera so that the script is not forced to search for the player.

Thank you for your helpful suggestion! But, I’m not sure of how to achieve it. Can you provide me a example of how to achieve it?

You can use PlayerAdded this will help when adding a player do the same process

After trying it out it still didn’t work since the player is loaded before the local script. Are there any other ways?
