Camera code not working | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

This is a localscript that should, when working, allow the user to click on the click detector and look around from the CameraPart's position, for my horror game to check through the peephole. They also have the ability to press Q to go through the door. Neither of these are working. (yes ive tried AI, friends, other discords, dev forum, docs, etc)


local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera
local door = Workspace.DoorSystemByBlaze.Door2
local knob = door.Knob
local clickDetector = knob:FindFirstChild("ClickDetector")
local destination = door.Destination
local cameraPart = door.Camera
local canTeleport = false

clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(clickingPlayer)
    if clickingPlayer ~= player then return end
    canTeleport = true
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPart.Position, cameraPart.Position + cameraPart.CFrame.LookVector)
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed or not canTeleport then return end
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        local character = player.Character
        if character then
            local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
            if hrp then
                hrp.CFrame = destination.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)
            end
        end
        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
        canTeleport = false
    end
end)

player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    canTeleport = false
end)

how exactly does it "not work"

#

#

#

does it error

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 5:56 PM

#

it does nothing

#

it just

#

like

#

decides it doesnt wanna work

#

i added tests like print statements, the only one that actually runs is test 0, which is at line 1

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 5:57 PM

#

hushed sparrow how exactly does it "not work"

it jsut doesnt, ive been working on it two days

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 5:58 PM

#

game:GetService("Workspace") 🥀

#

does the clickdetector click?

#

have you checked that?

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

yes

#

ut kidna doesnt

#

uh actually

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 5:59 PM

#

hushed sparrow have you checked that?

let me check i added another test

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

hushed sparrow does the clickdetector click?

no.

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

so focus on that

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:00 PM

local cameraPart = door:WaitForChild("Camera")

local canTeleport = false


clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(clickingPlayer)
    print('test 0.5')
    if clickingPlayer ~= player then return end

    canTeleport = true
    print("Test 1")

    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
    camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraPart.Position, cameraPart.Position + cameraPart.CFrame.LookVector)

    print("Test 2")
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed or not canTeleport then return end

    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        print("Test 3")

        local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
        local hrp = character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
        if hrp then
            hrp.CFrame = destination.CFrame + Vector3.new(0, 3, 0)
            print("Test 4")
        end

        camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
        canTeleport = false
    end
end)


player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function()
    print("Test 5")
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
    canTeleport = false
    print("Test 6")
end)

This is basically the same kinda just with some edited stuff and tests

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:00 PM

#

hushed sparrow so focus on that

ive been tryna do that

#

for the last

#

two days

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

you have lots of waitforchilds

#

have you checked that all of them get fulfilled

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

yes ik

#

im

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

and the connections get made

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

im gonna directly reference

#

\see what the difference is

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

no

#

on client that's not a bad idea

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

its a localscript

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:02 PM

#

but the point of WaitForChild is that it waits until the child gets added

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:03 PM

#

its useless unless referring to something in replicatedfirst as that is the only thing where it loads before everything else

#

like

#

evferything else loads

#

before running code

#

haha

#

well

#

it gets to test 2

#

now that i dont directly reference

#

and actually going through the door works

#

however

#

the camera thing doesnt

#

the peeophole

#

gets to test 4

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

midnight linden its useless unless referring to something in replicatedfirst as that is the only...

with StreamingEnabled it unloads everything thats far away from the client

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

actually

hushed sparrow Jun 3, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

(enabled by default)

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:05 PM

#

streaming enabled is off

#

alright so, the camera thing kidna works but for a brief second only, after that brief milisecond or so, the camera returns to the player

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:40 PM

#

have you fixed this or no

#

shouldve just been a simple task.wait() just before the cameratype returns to custom as far as i can tell

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:45 PM

#

no

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:45 PM

#

arctic jackal shouldve just been a simple task.wait() just before the cameratype returns to cu...

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

oh

#

my fault

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:48 PM

#

i got it to kinda fix itself by using direct references the first time and that got the enter working, adding the task.wait broke the whole thing

#

what

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

yeah put the task wait

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

k

#

hold on lemem try

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:49 PM

#

just after that print 4 end is where we want task wait, it should keep the camera on the door

#

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:50 PM

#

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:54 PM

#

ok and 1 more time overall what do we want this to do

#

also do you want the camera coming back to the player to be auto or keybound

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

ok so: clicking on the click detector allows your camera to be set to the position of the "Camera" part, acting as a peephole. Pressing Q teleports the player inside, simulating entering

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

arctic jackal also do you want the camera coming back to the player to be auto or keybound

doesnt really matter

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:55 PM

#

ok

#

just to make sure is this in a local script in starterplayerscripts

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:57 PM

#

k

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

its a question

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

it was in startercharcter scripts but now when i put it in starterplayerscripts my camera is just like in a baseplate and i cant move or anything

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

hmmmm ok

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 6:58 PM

#

i think one of my idiot devs

#

put it in

#

scs

#

im the hdev

#

rn

#

so

#

im boutta

#

crash out

#

wait nvm

#

im just impatient

#

alr so the enter the door thing works, but now teh camera is doing that same thing

#

changes for 1 ms

#

and then

#

goes back

#

let me try deleting saude again

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

ok try putting the taskwait just after that end instead of before

#

the print 4 end

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

it is after

#

uh

#

hold

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

also increase the time slightly just so we can see if there is difference

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

alr its 7

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:01 PM

#

hmmmm

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

oh wait

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

really we just need a line of code that freezes the script for a few seconds so the camera doesnt move back to the player

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

im stupido

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

whats up

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:02 PM

#

#

#

lemem try making it scriptable

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

hmmm

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

balls

#

nope

#

doesnt work

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

i think that is default

#

yeah

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

yeah

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:03 PM

#

we just need script to hold for a few seconds just after print4

#

hmmm

#

give me a minute

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:04 PM

#

alr

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:06 PM

add what

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:07 PM

#

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed or not canTeleport then return end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
    print("Test 3")

#

camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
canTeleport = false

midnight linden Jun 3, 2025, 7:07 PM

#

changing the keycode?

arctic jackal Jun 3, 2025, 7:08 PM
