So i want to set the players current camera when a proximity prompt is interacted with, i currently have these two codes, the second one is in starter player scripts

local prompt = script.Parent
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ChangeCameraEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents").ChangePlayersCamera

prompt.Triggered:Connect(function(player)
    local targetCamera = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.EggView
    if targetCamera and targetCamera:IsA("Camera") then
        ChangeCameraEvent:FireClient(player, targetCamera)
    else
        warn("TargetCamera not found or is not a Camera!")
    end
end)```

```lua
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local ChangeCameraEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents").ChangePlayersCamera

ChangeCameraEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(targetCamera)
    print("Camera Change Event Runned")
    if targetCamera and targetCamera:IsA("Camera") then
        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

        local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
        local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweenInfo, {
            CFrame = targetCamera.CFrame
        })
        tween:Play()
    else
        warn("Invalid camera received! ", targetCamera)
    end
end)

#

currently i get the error
17:25:16.984 Invalid camera received! nil - Client - LocalScript:20

cameras are not replicated

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:32 PM

#

cold pendant cameras are not replicated

Wym?

#

The camara is inside another part

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:35 PM

#

wicked flower Wym?

wym wym? what part of that did you not understand?

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

cold pendant wym wym? what part of that did you not understand?

Okay well how do I do it then?

#

I want to set the players camara when interacted with a prompt

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

so do that on the client

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:36 PM

#

Yes that’s why I used the local script inside player scripts

#

And a remote event

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

cameras do not replicate

#

and i'm pretty sure you can't cache them either

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

How do I do it then?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:37 PM

#

meaning if you create them in edit mode, they get destroyed when you press play

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

Ohh right

#

Sorry

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

doesnt matter where they are

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

Sorry if I create the camara before I send the remote event

#

Does it work then?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:38 PM

#

anything involving a Camera instance must stay on one side of the client/server boundary

#

i.e you can't create cameras on the server to send to the client

#

you have to do it on the client instead

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:39 PM

#

Right

#

So what if I pass though a part of where to put the canara

#

And like the important info like size height e.g

#

That work?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

wicked flower So what if I pass though a part of where to put the canara

that's usually how it's done, just take the cframe of a part and put it on the camera

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:40 PM

#

Ohh right makes much more sense

#

I’ll try it and let you know thanks

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:41 PM

#

you lose a bit of control since the camera has more properties like fov, but you can easily contend with that with some numbervalues or whathaveyou to pass around the properties you want to use

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

So by setting attributes?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 4:42 PM

#

attributes could work too, idk however you want to pipe the values around

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 4:53 PM

#

cold pendant attributes could work too, idk however you want to pipe the values around

i got it working thank you very much

#

one thing @cold pendant

#

so this is my code, when i set it back it doesnt go to like the third person view it goes to the middle of my body the animation

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local ChangeCameraEvent = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("RemoteEvents").ChangePlayersCamera

ChangeCameraEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(targetPart)
    if camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Custom then
        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

        local targetCFrame = targetPart.CFrame

        local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
        local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweenInfo, {CFrame = targetCFrame})
        tween:Play()

        tween.Completed:Connect(function()
            print("Camera reached target part.")
        end)

        return true
    elseif camera.CameraType == Enum.CameraType.Scriptable then
        local playerCharacter = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
        local playerCFrame = playerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

        local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Sine, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
        local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, tweenInfo, {CFrame = playerCFrame})
        tween:Play()

        tween.Completed:Connect(function()
            camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
            print("Camera moved back to player.")
        end)

        return true
    else
        warn("Unexpected Camera Type:", camera.CameraType)
    end
end)

#

wicked flower so this is my code, when i set it back it doesnt go to like the third person vie...

thats where you told it to go local playerCFrame = playerCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:07 PM

#

cold pendant thats where you told it to go `local playerCFrame = playerCharacter.HumanoidRoot...

i wasnt sure how to go back to the orignal camara place

#

because i dont have the CFrame for it right?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:08 PM

#

wicked flower because i dont have the CFrame for it right?

store the original cframe for later use i guess

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

cold pendant store the original cframe for later use i guess

but what if the player moves

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

wicked flower but what if the player moves

indeed fingerguns

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:10 PM

#

actually is there a way to make the player not see other players

#

and themself

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

wicked flower actually is there a way to make the player not see other players

the answer to most "is it possible" questions is yes.

#

including this one.

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

but its just long?

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

you just, might not like the techniques to do it.

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:11 PM

#

yeah im good then

#

im not going into that then

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

i would think sinking inputs is easier, idk i haven't delved into a custom camera yet

#

but i want to

#

pretty sure its in the roblox PlayerModule

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

okay @cold pendant this question is a bit random but do you have any idea / video / docs or anything on how to make some sort of finish hatching animation, so im talking some kind of mini explotion but not? cloud effect kinda thing

#

not sure how to do this

#

its for a part as well

#

not a gui

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:12 PM

#

i'm sure you can find a tutorial on youtube for that

#

not that i support that garbaje

#

imo roblox got enough pet sim slop

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

cold pendant i'm sure you can find a tutorial on youtube for that

not sure what i type though

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:14 PM

#

cold pendant imo roblox got enough pet sim slop

this isnt really a game to release

#

more just bored

#

most games i make i spend hours and dont complete

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:15 PM

#

wicked flower most games i make i spend hours and dont complete

polish phase is tedious but you have to get used to it.

#

it gets a lot easier when you're in an active dev cycle

#

i.e game finished and people playing it and giving feedback. much easier then. so it does end eventually

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

yeah i bet it does

#

making the game and getting it all together and working is so annyoing

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

easier to polish small features at a time than a whole game at once

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

like one little thing i want to add to make the game look nicer takes hours

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

cold pendant easier to polish small features at a time than a whole game at once

yep thats what i try to do

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

wicked flower like one little thing i want to add to make the game look nicer takes hours

yerp that's normal.

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:16 PM

#

i bet it is

#

pain though

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:17 PM

#

who'da suspected, game dev is time consuming

#

and difficult

wicked flower Apr 28, 2025, 5:18 PM

#

yep very

#

@cold pendant can i ask another unrelated question

#

or do u want me to open another form

cold pendant Apr 28, 2025, 5:26 PM

#

wicked flower or do u want me to open another form

i think you need to keep working on it til you get stuck on something
