So, when a player touches the shopPart, the camera changes for every player, is there a way to change it only to the player touching the part?

Is this in a LocalScript? it should be... Make sure FilteringEnabled is on, and change "Camera" to "CurrentCamera" SerpentineKing 3885 — 6y

Yes it is in a localscript, and FE is on. I'll try to change it to CurrentCamera and see if it works, thanks ady1111 8 — 6y

Necessary Items:

A. FilteringEnabled set to true

This is to make sure that the game doesn't replicate all changes on the client to the server, making each player's changes unique (so if you died and the camera was reset it would not reset for all players)

B. Using a Local Script

To change a player's camera you must use a LocalScript since the camera is unique to each player, and changes to the server camera will not replicate (as it is not the same instance)

C. Using CurrentCamera

The workspace has an instance called "CurrentCamera" which on the client serves as the directional framing of the player's movement. The Camera cannot be directly edited from the server since the current camera is only local.

EXAMPLE

Change

`1`	`game:GetService("Workspace").Camera`

`1`	`game:GetService("Workspace").CurrentCamera`
