Why doesn't this set the camera to the player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to make it so that if the player clicks a button, it sets the camera type to the player camera, so that the tween stops running, and the camera type is no longer scriptable.

Here’s my code:

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	local camera = game.Workspace.Camera
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Enabled = false
end)

Another script is animating the camera too, could that be causing the issue?

Summary 
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local cams = game.Workspace.Cameras
local done = false

local camera = game.Workspace.Camera

local sceneTime = 20

local tweeninfo = TweenInfo.new(
	sceneTime,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	true,
	0
)

function tween(camera1, camera2, ending)
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	camera.CFrame = camera1.CFrame

	local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweeninfo, {CFrame = camera2.CFrame})
	tween:Play()

	wait(sceneTime)

	if ending then
		camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	end

end


tween(cams.Camera1, cams.Camera2, false)
--wait(20)
tween(cams.Camera3, cams.Camera4, false)
--wait(20)
tween(cams.Camera5, cams.Camera6, false)
--wait(20)
tween(cams.Camera7, cams.Camera8, false)
--wait(20)
tween(cams.Camera9, cams.Camera10, true)

Why would this not work?

Would I also have to stop the other script (with the camera tweens) If so, then how would I accomplish that?

Thanks!

EDIT: My new issue is that the camera tweens to the player, instead of teleporting to another camera.

You should use

local camera=workspace.CurrentCamera

The same problem still occurs.

#4

I’m starting to think it’s the other script’s issue, as the UI does disappear, but they camera doesn’t get set.

Is there a way to make it (the other camera animation) reset/stop? The button script is a LocalScript in StarterGui and the camera tween is a LocalScript inside StarterPlayerScripts.

#5

It doesen’t change anything because it’s the same thing.

Try to change Enum.CameraType.Custom with Enum.CameraType.Fixed.

#6

What is CameraType.Fixed? I’ve never heard of it.

#7

When you set the camera to Fixed, it makes the player’s camera stationary.

Wouldn’t that make it so the player is unable to move their camera? I want it so that it sets the camera to the player, and continues to be like that.

#9

Setting the camera type to fixed unfortunately provides the same results as custom.

#10

Is there a way to disable the tween in the other script?

#11

I have no idea how to pause the tween as soon as the button is pressed, but would constant “if” statements work?

#12

I don’t know how to use module scripts but this discussion may help you.

Not exactly what I’m looking for… I’m trying to make the player’s camera change on click. Thanks anyways!

#14

I also tried adding the function to the camera tween script, but it didn’t work.

#15

Maybe add these lines of code under the camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name)
if character then
	camera.CameraSubject = character
end

You can modify this code to however you like. I hope this helps!

Unfortunately that also provides the same results.

#17

Just a quick question, is your character in the workspace during this time period?

#18

Correct. The humanoid’s walkspeed is 0 though.

#19

If you’re currently in Studio, can you test play and try going to the properties in Workspace => Camera => CameraSubject, and change the CameraSubject to your character after your tween is finished and see if it works?

I checked the CameraSubject, and it is the humanoid, even when the tween is running, and after the tween, it’s the same.
