Title screen only works in studio?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello developers.
During the development of my game, I realized that the title screen I made only works in Roblox studio for some reason. When I go into the actual game on the platform, it does not appear initially. Is there anything I’d need to change? I do not know what examples I’d need to provide… Any help is appreciated

Thank you in advance

A script could help :thinking:

#3

Can you show the script for your GUI?

--Music and Menu Handler

local frame = script.Parent
local blur = game.Lighting.DepthOfField
local playButton = script.Parent.PlayButton
local ambience = script.Parent.Ambience
local wind = script.Parent.Ambience2

if frame.Visible == true then
	blur.Enabled = true 
end

if frame.Visible == true then
	ambience:Play()
	wind:Play()
end

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	frame:Destroy()
end)

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	ambience:Stop()
	wind:Stop()
end)

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	blur.Enabled = false
end)

--Menu Camera

local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local menuCamera = game.Workspace.MenuCamera

repeat wait()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = menuCamera.CFrame

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

-- Credits Gui

local creditsButton = script.Parent.CreditsButton
local creditsFrame = script.Parent.CreditsFrame

creditsFrame.Visible = false

creditsButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if creditsFrame.Visible == false then 
		script.Parent.CreditsFrame.Visible = true
	else
		script.Parent.CreditsFrame.Visible = false
	end
end)

This is the script for my title screen. I do not know why it only works in studio and not in the actual game. I am relatively new to scripting so I may not spot them on my first look-through

This, could be why

You’re only getting the server’s camera from the client side, when you should be getting the CurrentCamera which would be a property of the workspace, and able to manipulate the camera that way

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
#6

this did not work. I replaced my camera variable with yours and it had the same result in-game, in studio it still works fine though… weird

#7

Are you getting any errors at all?

#8

In my output i’m not getting any related to the GUI.

#9

Ok I shall ask this then: Is the script you’re using a Local or Server script?

#10

it’s a localscript in the gui itself

#12

Perhaps try printing?

--Music and Menu Handler

local frame = script.Parent
local blur = game.Lighting.DepthOfField
local playButton = script.Parent.PlayButton
local ambience = script.Parent.Ambience
local wind = script.Parent.Ambience2

print("We know this starting part works")

if frame.Visible == true then
	blur.Enabled = true 
end

if frame.Visible == true then
	ambience:Play()
	wind:Play()
end

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	frame:Destroy()
end)

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	ambience:Stop()
	wind:Stop()
end)

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	blur.Enabled = false
end)

--Menu Camera

local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
local menuCamera = game.Workspace.MenuCamera

repeat wait()
    print("Loop running")
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

camera.CFrame = menuCamera.CFrame
print("Loop broke")

playButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end)

-- Credits Gui

local creditsButton = script.Parent.CreditsButton
local creditsFrame = script.Parent.CreditsFrame

creditsFrame.Visible = false

creditsButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	if creditsFrame.Visible == false then 
		script.Parent.CreditsFrame.Visible = true
	else
		script.Parent.CreditsFrame.Visible = false
	end
end)
#13

I saw one “loop Broke” at line 44 in the output. Does it mean anything?

#14

Was that the only thing it printed out? Or were there more statements?

(Also you didn’t really specify what problem you’re exactly having? :thinking: Like is the Camera not changing to where its supposed to be?)

#15

Okay lemme word it a bit better
in studio, the title screen camera positions itself correctly to where it’s supposed to be
but in-game, it starts with the default camera, not the title screen camera

hope that cleared it up a little

#16

Only things I could potentially see, is that the CameraType could still be set to Custom or the menuCamera variable isn’t exactly connecting in relation with the CFrame of the Player’s Camera
