Why does this line yield the thread?
1 | CameraReady = false |
2 | sR = game:GetService'RunService' |
3 |
4 | plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
5 | print'1' |
6 | repeat wait() until plr.Character |
7 | print'2' |
8 | if plr.Character then workspace.Remotes.engine:InvokeServer() end |
9 | print'3' |
(localscript)
Plain and simple, ''3'' doesn't print. the script triggered by the Engine remotefunction does not have any yields either, so i cant see why its stopping the script.
The script triggered by engine by request:
(Yes i know CurrentCamera only works in localscripts this is just for tests)
01 | function workspace.Remotes.engine.OnServerInvoke(plr) |
02 | plr.Character:Destroy() |
03 | workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = workspace.Thingy.Head --workspace.Thingy.CameraPos |
04 | wait(.1) |
05 | workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable |
06 | wait(.1) |
07 | workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame * CFrame.new(3.5, 0, 0) |
08 | wait(1) |
09 | workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame |
10 | workspace.Remotes.localengine:InvokeClient(plr) |
11 | plr.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson |
12 | end |

workspace.Remotes.localengine:InvokeClient(plr) is the problem.
If you don't define what a RemoteFunction should do, Invoking it will wait until you do, so that it return an answer.
That behavior can be tested pretty easily:
1 | -- localscript |
2 | local now = tick() |
3 | print("got", game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction:InvokeServer()) |
4 | print(tick() - now) |
1 | -- script |
2 | wait(10) |
3 | print("going!") |
4 | game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player) |
5 | print("invoked!") |
6 | return 5 |
7 | end |
Output:
going!
invoked!
got 5
