My goal: when the player dies, he will look towards the map, then he will look at the player’s camera with tweenservice again.
As defined, character in your client code does not update when a new character is spawned. This results in the code trying to set the camera subject to the root part of the now-nonexistent old character. Adding this code…
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(new_character)
character = new_character
end)
…directly under your declaration of character in your client code should resolve the breaking issue.
the player’s camera is elsewhere, and when I set the player’s camera, Custom and HumanoidRootPart, I want to know in advance where it will go and make tween it there
In order to tween to the player’s new character, your code will need to yield at least until the new character spawns. This modified version of your client code will tween the camera towards the new character and stop it at 12.5 studs away (the default distance as defined in the BaseCamera module):

This code is not without issue, however: while the tweening will take the camera to where the player spawned, it will not track any movement (either due to gravity or player movement) that occurs during the transition. That can be resolved by either anchoring the character until the transition is over or using a system that can react to this movement (that is, not TweenService).
