Animation Display on StarterGui

[dusk pelican]

i asked AI to help me and it said i had to use a viewport display (correct me if i am wrong please) and whenever i insert a part or use a localscript to show an animation on the player, it doesn't show.

CONTEXT: I'm trying to make a menu that shows a clone of the player's avatar dancing on the side using a ViewportDisplay, but it's not showing

` local viewport = script.Parent:WaitForChild("DancePreview")

-- Create a part to test visuals
local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 3, 1)
part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 0)
part.Anchored = true
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")

-- Camera setup
local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 2, 6), Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 0))
viewport.CurrentCamera = camera
camera.Parent = viewport

-- Model to hold the part
local model = Instance.new("Model")
part.Parent = model
model.PrimaryPart = part
model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(0, 0, 0))
model.Parent = viewport `

this was made with ai by the way

1. ai is pretty unreliable for generating scripts at this stage

[dusk pelican]

i'm a beginner to this stuff so yeah

[obtuse parcel]

2. does the viewport show anything

[dusk pelican]

nope

[obtuse parcel]

can you show like a video of ur game running

[dusk pelican]

k

[obtuse parcel]

i can see 2 outcome rn

1. the ai just made crap
2. the cframe positioning didnt work but the script did and you just have to reposition the camera

[dusk pelican]

hold

broother

let me convert it

[obtuse parcel]

** You are now Level 1! **

[obtuse parcel]

interesting

[dusk pelican]

its sort of laggy sorry

i have an ass pc

[obtuse parcel]

the viewport is empty

[dusk pelican]

there is a local script inside it, which is supposed to show a red cube

[obtuse parcel]

can u check the console for any errors

[dusk pelican]

Script 'Players.GenuineBackrooms.PlayerGui.MenuGUI.DancePreview.LocalScript', Line 1 - Studio - LocalScript:1 18:24:08.498 Stack End - Studio

nothing too serious from my end

[obtuse parcel]

can you make a video of the full console

thats just part of the error

[dusk pelican]

if my pc will idk

skip to the end

the whole video is just my pc struggling

hold up

[viral fox]

there is no child called DancePreview of parent DancePreview

[obtuse parcel]

bit late but yeah as barrier said menucamera cannot be found

either u didnt add it or

it already loaded

[dusk pelican]

it's already loaded

[dusk pelican]

i made a frame and then i renamed viewportdisplay to DancePreview

[obtuse parcel]

waitforchild waits until something loads

this means if it loads before the waiforchild starts

then the wait will wait infinitely

idk why roblox is like this but yea

thats how it works

[dusk pelican]

let me try that and i'll let u know

[obtuse parcel]

so what i recommend is probably using a while workspace:FindFirstChild("ObjectNameHere") == nil then
print("wait")
end

then after that

findfirstchild blah blah blah

[dusk pelican]

okay

[dusk pelican]

not working

` while not script.Parent:FindFirstChild("DancePreview") do
task.wait()
end

local viewport = script.Parent:FindFirstChild("DancePreview")

local camera = Instance.new("Camera")
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 2, 6), Vector3.new(0, 2, 0))
camera.Parent = viewport
viewport.CurrentCamera = camera

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Size = Vector3.new(2, 3, 1)
part.Position = Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 0)
part.Anchored = true
part.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Bright red")

local model = Instance.new("Model")
part.Parent = model
model.PrimaryPart = part
model:SetPrimaryPartCFrame(CFrame.new(0, 0, 0))
model.Parent = viewport `
