Trying to change the player's camera for a main menu screen when they join

[frank otter]

local cam = workspace.Camera
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function()
    local camerapart = game.Workspace.customizeSpawn.menuCameraPart
    cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    cam.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame
    script.Disabled = true
end)
    

Just does nothing basically, even added a print to check but it never prints.. Script works fine without the function however. Located in startergui

[cyan garden]

Copy and paste this code into a LocalScript. Then, place the local script into StarterPlayerScripts

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local function Camera()
  local camerapart = workspace:WaitForChild("customizeSpawn"):WaitForChild("menuCameraPart")
    cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    cam.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame
end

Camera()

-Note that PlayerAdded doesn't work in LocalScript

[frank otter]

thought it was the other way around ngl

I need to be on player added unfortunately because I cant have it running more than once, its a one time menu screen

[cyan garden]

Then you I recommend using remote events in that case.

[frank otter]

Thats what I originally wanted to do but Ive been trying to not use as many lately

guess I have no choie

choicee*

yeah

[trail socket]

print("Hello world!")

[frank otter]

why didnt I think of this before wtf

[frank otter]

ok now im just fumbling this completely
server:

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    script.initialCamera:FireClient(player)
end)

client:

script.Parent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
    local cam = workspace.Camera
    print("worked")
    local camerapart = game.Workspace.customizeSpawn.menuCameraPart
    cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    cam.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame
    script.Disabled = true
end)

[frank otter]

according to roblox documentation it does work in localscripts now

i have literally no idea why this isnt working

[cyan garden]

You are right.

[frank otter]

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
    print("worked")
    local camerapart = game.Workspace.customizeSpawn.menuCameraPart
    cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    cam.CFrame = camerapart.CFrame
end)

straight up just not working still

i dont get it

the function isnt even executing

[main roost]

just make it a local script inside starter player scripts and make no function, just straight starting

it will run once player joins

[frank otter]

the point is is i only want it to run once

[main roost]

yeah thats what i said

[frank otter]

it worked

yea

[main roost]

it will run just when the player joins

[frank otter]

ty

[main roost]

Make a local script in starter player scripts
