Why is the Camera's Subject not a truss? [REPOSTED]

Asked 219 views1 answers

Why wouldn't the Camera's Subject be focused on the truss? Here is the Code:

local cam=workspace.CurrentCamera
local button=game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
-- In Line 2 SH cut off :WaitForChild("ScreenGui")
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
    cam.CameraSubject=workspace:FindFirstChild("Truss")
end)

button.TextButton.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    cam.CameraSubject=plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
end)

I want the Camera's Subject to go back to the Humanoid when the Gui is clicked.

This Error kept popping up in the Output

Please Respect that I am a Beginner.

The variable "plr" is specific to the PlayerAdded function. By that, I mean "plr" can only be used inbetween game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) and end). I'll just rewrite your script for you and explain it, since it would be more work just to explain the errors and have you rewrite it. I don't mean to be rude in any way in this answer.

--let's try this script, eh?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --defines player
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera --defines camera
local button = player:FindFirstChild("PlayerGui"):FindFirstChild("ScreenGui"):FindFirstChild("TextButton") --defines button

camera.CameraSubject = workspace:FindFirstChild("Truss") --makes CameraSubject "Truss"

button.MouseButton1Click:connect(function() --button click event
camera.CameraSubject = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") --makes CameraSubject "Humanoid"
end) --end, obviously

Notice how I removed the PlayerAdded event. I did that because it's not necessary. Keep in mind that this LocalScript has to be either directly or indirectly in StarterGui or StarterPack.

People often make the same mistake you just did. FindFirstChild() either returns the child, or nil. It's only useful because it works like a function, so it won't throw an error if its nil. It's only useful in if statements, though, because otherwise if it returns nil you will be saying "nil.MouseButton1Click"
