UserGameSettings.RotationType stops working after reset

[Alpyskh (Alpysk)]

1. What do you want to achieve?

I’m making a custom camera system, but I ran into a problem when trying to make the player character rotate with the camera (like what happens when you shift-lock).

2. What is the issue?

The method i’m currently using is changing the rotationtype in a localscript

if strafeEnabled then
		-- Character aligns with the Camera
		UserSettings():GetService("UserGameSettings").RotationType = Enum.RotationType.CameraRelative
	else
		-- Character rotation is independent of the Camera
		UserSettings():GetService("UserGameSettings").RotationType = Enum.RotationType.MovementRelative
	end

This works perfectly, but only on the player’s first life. When the player resets, the rotation stops working.

If you look at the output, you’ll notice something strange. The RotationType does correctly change, but it has no actual effect on the character after respawning.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?

I looked around the devforum and saw a couple topics about this issue (see below), however none of them arrived at a solution, and it’s unclear whether or not this is an engine bug.

RotationType.CameraRelative isn't working properly after character death

I have a place with only a camera script with UserSettings().GameSettings.RotationType = Enum.RotationType.CameraRelative and Humanoid.AutoRotate = true When play testing, it works. A basic Shiftlock. However, after reseting the character, it no longer works. The character refuses to rotate. I used the command bar to set RotationType to CameraRelative and manually set Humanoid.AutoRotate to true through the explorer and it still won’t work. Is this a known issue? I can’t find anything about i…

Problems with Enum.RotationType.CameraRelative

No matter what I do, my custom rig for my new game has rotation issues after respawning with Enum.RotationType.CameraRelative on. I’ve tried reactivating it, recreating the rig, turning off all systems and reactivating, but to no avail. https://gyazo.com/1b2d61f74f25e4f7482012a0abca68d6 Anything I can do about this? Is this a Roblox bug?

The replicability of this “bug” leads me to believe that this isn’t caused by other scripts or systems in my game.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
