Thing with GUI and Camera manipulation script doesn't work please help?

I have a Script that lets you start with a certain camera position, doesn't let you move, and lets you move again when you press "play"

It gives an error message at line 20 saying that Character is not a valid member of Players How do I fix this?

The play button script:

script.Parent.MouseEnter:connect(function()
    for i = 1, 10 do
        script.parent.BorderSizePixel = script.Parent.BorderSizePixel  +1
        wait(0.01)
    end
end)

script.Parent.MouseLeave:connect(function()
    for i = 1, 10 do
        script.parent.BorderSizePixel = script.Parent.BorderSizePixel  -1
        wait(0.01)
    end
end)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    script.parent.Visible = false
                script.Parent.Parent.Parent.StartLock.Disabled = true
           game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    local plr = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent
    plr.Character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false
    plr.Character.MoveTo(game.Workspace.Baseplate.Position)
    plr.Character.Torso.Anchored = false
    plr.Character.Humanoid.PlatformStand = false



end)

while true do
    if script.parent.BorderSizePixel > 11 then script.parent.BorderSizePixel = 11

    end
    wait(0.1)
end

The you can't move script:


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Target = Player.Character.Torso
Cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
Cam.CameraSubject = Player.Character.Torso

while true do
    Cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(Target.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0,3.2,0) * CFrame.new(-2,0,5)


    wait(0.1)
end

All of these scripts are located in playerGUI

And the play button script is located in a gui called "Startgui"

I really don't understand what's wrong, please help

FIrst of all it should be a local script cause you're doing gui related stuff.

The error it gives you is because you defined player wrong and have an extra parent which means you plr variable was actually a variable for Players service I guess.

Since you should use a local script for this, you can just define a player like this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

and then also to define character make sure you don't just do player.Character because since it's located inside of screen gui character might not load yet, therefore define your character like this:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

That should fix the error you had, however you might have to adjust some stuff if you were using a server script before.

well then fix your plr variable like I told you g1o2r3d4a5n6 350 — 5y

Now it gives the error expected '.' not ':' calling member function MoveTo Theroofypidgeot 21 — 5y

that's because you used character.MoveTo() instead of character:MoveTo() g1o2r3d4a5n6 350 — 5y

Thanks man, you're my hero! :) Theroofypidgeot 21 — 5y
