LocalScript not setting CameraType?

Asked 139 views1 answers

I have a localscript inside of starterplayerscripts, and get the currentCamera, and set the type to Scriptable. But when I enter the game, its set to Custom still (it doesnt error). Here is the code:

	local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

doing

	repeat
		camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	until camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

doesnt work either. How could I fix this?

Any help appreciated!

Could be wrong, but I believe its because you are trying to set the camera to scriptable before the character joins and the camera is assigned to them. Try adding a 'Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()' before you set the camera, or repeat wait() until Player.Character
