CameraSubject not working?

Asked by

9 years ago

I've created a spectating GUI, and when pressed you view one of the living players(one of the players in-game.) This script works perfectly, except for when a player joins the server and the game is in progress. When they press the button, their CameraSubject is no longer focused on their humanoid, but it's focused on where it used to be. It does not start 'spectating' a different player as intended. If the round ends and they end up back in the lobby(after dying,) the script works absolutely flawlessly. It's worth noting that it never throws out any errors of any kind. Here's what the code looks like, I tried to put enough information in there for you to get the just:

01local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local debounce = false
03repeat wait() until plr:FindFirstChild("Alive")--Make sure they have the "alive" boolean
04repeat wait() until plr.Character--Make sure they are in Workspace
05wait(.05)--Little extra waiting time
06local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera 
07script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(function()--Gui pressed
08    if plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame.Visible == false then --If they aren't already spectating
09            if plr.Alive.Value == false and game.Workspace.InRound.Value == true then --If they're dead and there's a game going
10        plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame.Visible = true--Make spectating Gui visible
11    if game.Workspace.InRound.Value == true then--Double check
12if debounce == false then
13    debounce = true
14    local plrs = game.Players:GetChildren()
15    local num = #plrs
16    local found = false
17    local plays = {}
18    for _,i in pairs(plrs) do
19        if i.Alive.Value == true then
20            table.insert(plays, 1, i.Name)--Fancy stuff to make the spectating Gui work properly
21        end
22    end
23    local nums = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame:FindFirstChild("Numb")
24    local spec = game.Players:FindFirstChild(plays[nums.Value])
25    nums.Value = nums.Value + 1
26if nums.Value > #plays then nums.Value = 1 end
27camera.CameraSubject = spec.Character.Humanoid--Changing CameraSubject
28local who = plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame:FindFirstChild("Who")
29 local job = plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame:FindFirstChild("Job")
30local pic = plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame:FindFirstChild("Pic")
31who.Text = ""..spec.Name..""
32pic.Image = "http://www.roblox.com/Thumbs/Avatar.ashx?x=100&y=100&Format=Png&username="..spec.Name..""
33if spec.IsMafia.Value == true then
34    job.Text = "Mafia"
35    else job.Text = "Innocent"
36end
37    debounce = false
38end
39    end
40    end
41    else plr.PlayerGui.Spectating.Frame.Visible = false
42        camera.CameraSubject = plr.Character.Humanoid
43    end
44end)

I recommend looking up proper indentation style (if you don't use it already -- you did imply this might be an abbreviation of your script) - it makes it easier to see the flow of your script. and catch logic errors. In your case, did you set the SpectatingFrame to Visible in a different script? chess123mate 5873 — 9y

To put it simply, yes I do use proper indentation style, but I was rushing this when I posted the first time. The Spectating Frame is indeed made visible, it just doesn't make the CameraSubject the proper player. It shows their name, and even shows a picture of their avatar, but doesn't switch the CameraSubject(only when player first joins game...) Toadboyblue 67 — 9y
