Why does this script not work?

Basically, I’m trying to get the player’s camera to position at a part but it doesn’t seem to work.

This is a server script at workspace:

script.Parent.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

script.Parent.Camera.CameraSubject = workspace.wju

Nothing is showing up in the output, just incase you need to know.

Have you tried changing the camera’s CFrame to the position of the part that you want to position the camera at?

Maybe something like:

local currentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

currentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
currentCamera.CameraSubject = workspace.wju
currentCamera.CFrame = workspace.wju.CFrame

Yes, didn’t work. This is what I’ve tried:

script.Parent.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

script.Parent.Camera.CFrame = workspace.wju.CFrame

You cant control the camera using server scripts

Wouldn’t it be in StarterPlayer scripts?

Yea and it should be in StarterPlayerScripts(or StarterCharacterScripts or RepliactedFirst)

#8 
local CurrentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera

repeat
    task.wait()
    CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
until CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

CurrentCamera.CFrame = workspace.wju.CFrame
CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = workspace.wju

print("Set!")

The CFrame needs to be set, in addition to the CameraSubject. I added a repeat loop, it isn’t necessary, but I thought I would just for extra confirmation. This should be a LocalScript, just to let you know!

Additionally, I added a print statement, just for debugging reasons. (Remove it after you test it, it should work!)

Thanks, Cloud. :cloud:

The server’s camera’s viewport size is 1x1 pixel, you need to do this on the client instead.
