Camera not working on playeradded event?

Asked 213 views2 answers

I am trying to make it so that when the player joins the game, their camera's CFrame is set to a part in the workspace. And the player's walkspeed and jumppower is 0.

Here is what I did (normal script in serverscriptservice) :

local WorkspaceCamera = game.Workspace.StartCamera -- This is the part whom the camera should be attached to.

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
	
	print("Player Added!")
	
	Player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("CGA brown")
	
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	Camera.CFrame = WorkspaceCamera.CFrame
	
end)

The player's team changes properly. But not the walkspeed nor the jumppower nor the camera.

Why?

Thanks for any help.

No errors. It shows player added from the print. But no errors.

Well, here, I recommend you to set the CFrame of the Camera in Client side. I have tried testing your code, and it resulted in changing the CFrame of Camera on the Server. To fix this, you can do :

-- Server

--// Variables
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RE = RS:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") -- Example

--// Functions
local function OnAdded(player)
	player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("CGA brown")

	repeat wait() until player.Character -- Waits for player's character to load in [Don't use CharacterAdded, as it will fire on player respawn]

	RE:FireClient(player)
end

--//Main
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(OnAdded)

-- Local

--// Variables
local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RE = RS:WaitForChild("RemoteEvent") 
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local setCam = workspace.StartCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- Waits for player's character to load in
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

--// Functions
local function OnEvent()
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	cam.CFrame = setCam.CFrame

	hum.WalkSpeed = 0
	hum.JumpPower = 0
end

--// Main
RE.OnClientEvent:Connect(OnEvent)

If you get stuck anywhere, or get confused, you can ask me in comments!

Lemme know if it helps!

You can't really access a player's camera through a server script. Put this in a LocalScript in the StarterPlayerScripts, and it should work:

local WorkspaceCamera = workspace.StartCamera --No need to use game.Workspace
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

--You may have to use a wait() here for 1-2 seconds because sometimes it breaks if it's not loaded fully yet

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = WorkspaceCamera.CFrame

player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 --Disable walking
player.Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = 0 --Disable jumping

Now the problem is that you can't use LocalScript to change the player's Team, so you're going to need another (server/normal) script in the ServerScriptService with the following:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	
	player.TeamColor = BrickColor.new("CGA brown")
	
end)

Sorry for my English and let me know if I helped
