Asked Sep 12, 2014218 views2 answers

the error says

Workspace.PlayerJoin.JoinCam:5 attempt to index upvalue 'player' (a nil value)

**heres my script : **

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local found = Player.Character
if found then
print'character has loaded'
else
while not Player.Character do wait() end
end
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
	Player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 
	wait(5)
	camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
    camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(84.8, 5, -17.2)
	Player.PlayerGui.Character.Frame.Visible = true
    wait()
end)

Because the current camera can only be accessed from local scripts.

Oh and you do player.Character when it should be plr.Character

AnonymousSep 12, 2014#

it is a localscript

Then don't do a game.Players.PlayerAdded just do Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer or Plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer Character = Player.Character?

that won't help me though

Why not? That would allow you to access the player, and you could keep Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

I'll try it and see

Okay I fixed it to what you said but now it doesn't even set the characters camera

Make sure all the variables are spelled right, etc

Also, you forgot brackets around the 'character has loaded' :3
