and here is the camera panel script

local CameraPanel = script.Parent
local OfficeUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("OfficeUI")
local CamParts = workspace:WaitForChild("CamParts")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

CameraPanel.Changed:Connect(function()

have you considered maybe this is related?

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 9:58 AM

well

the only thing that can possibly be related is the on/off switch that i put to switch between the 2 uis

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

i mean just going by that one sentence we already know you changed something about the cameras which broke it

#

i'm guessing you refactored it and left something out, or your logic is wrong

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:00 AM

pretty sure i did also check that the office UI is actually enabled

and uhh it is

wait

could it be this part?

no

bro

#

use your words

#

wat is it, and did you write it

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

its what allows the player to look left and right, needed to actually see doors

#

since you know

#

fnaf

#

and uhh it uses 2 text buttons and their .MouseEnter events

#

it also works with arrow keys

#

well, worked

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:07 AM

so it's a fnaf clone

yes

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:07 AM

did you write this script

yea

what debug steps have you taken already on this script

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:08 AM

deleting camera script, thats just it

actually

#

let me try redoing the office UI

#

same thing

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

proven wren what debug steps have you taken already on this script

its almost like the office controls script is just dead gone

#

checked also if the cam is deattached or something

#

player cam i meant

#

and uhh

#

yeah nothing either

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:21 AM

#

is the script even running

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:21 AM

#

well yeah

#

wait actually

#

yeah it actually is runnin

#

its really just something in the script that doesn't trigger

#

okay i just checked if the limit works

#

and yeah it does

#

so that means that the inputs DO work

#

they don't do shit

#

which means the damn tweens don't work

#

okay how about this

#

i'll just add a check for wether the office UI is on or not

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

sleek grotto okay how about this

sounds like you managed to trigger the head movement script to work

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

yeaah kinda

#

its just the tweens that are doing this

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:33 AM

#

congrats, you have learned the art and skill of debugging

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:33 AM

#

aaaand even with the check it doesn't do shit

#

actually it now only works WHILE the cams are on

#

which is the opposite

#

of the check

#

by the way

#

i noticed this in the output

#

could this have anything to do with the script

#

or is it a roblox issue

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

sleek grotto i noticed this in the output

yep always fix the first error not the last. that's day one Thumbs

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:37 AM

#

so its a roblox thing?

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 10:38 AM

#

sleek grotto so its a roblox thing?

not one i've seen

#

it's probably one of your scripts

#

also server does not have a localplayer

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:39 AM

#

it redirects to this "operator" module or something

#

so i don't think thats it

#

yeah im out of ideas

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 10:59 AM

#

proven wren not one i've seen

any ideas?

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:00 AM

#

more prints, check stuff during runtime

#

reduce the problem

#

etc

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 11:07 AM

#

"reduce the problem"'

#

?

#

wdym by that

zealous zinc Dec 24, 2025, 11:13 AM

#

sleek grotto "reduce the problem"'

I think he's telling you to add more prints and see what the output says. If you're expecting the code to f.ex. local Tweening = true, then print(Tweening) and see if it is true. If it's false, then you find a solution and reduce the problem

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 11:22 AM

#

i would still need some kind of .IsPlaying property for the tweening for that to work, because otherwise it just prints a independant bool value

#

and that property doesn't exist

zealous zinc Dec 24, 2025, 11:25 AM

#

Sorry, I just took "Tweening = true" as an example.

I haven't really read your script, because reading on my phone makes me nauseous with how the lines get split up.

#

Point is: add printing.

What do u want to do
How should the system work
How does the system ACTUALLY work
Fix system.

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 11:29 AM

#

okay i did something

#

uhh i did fix the part where the head would still be moveable while using cams

#

however both types of inputs only work AFTER using cameras

#

so you ahve to open and close cameras again to use them

#

which i guess its an improvement

#

but the tweening is still broken

#

so uhh

#

yeah

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:33 AM

sleek grotto "reduce the problem"'

reducing the problem means reducing the number of moving parts in a construction to it's Minimum Reproducible Example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minimal_reproducible_example

Minimal reproducible example

In computing, a minimal reproducible example (abbreviated MRE) is a collection of source code and other data files that allow a bug or problem to be demonstrated and reproduced. The important feature of a minimal reproducible example is that it is as small and as simple as possible, such that it is just sufficient to demonstrate the problem, but...

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:34 AM

#

sleek grotto but the tweening is still broken

i.e for example if you're sure it's purely the tween, set up your test scenario in run mode, then manually execute a tween from the console / command bar

#

if that doesn't work then you know there is something about your construction that isn't built to take the tween how you thought it did

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:35 AM

#

sleek grotto which i guess its an improvement

it's all about the fact that you cannot rely on guessing

#

you must always prove what the code is doing

#

like i've seen so many help threads that are like "this doesn't work in my script but the script is working" -- it cannot be both

#

if it turns out code you assumed was correct, without checking it, was actually the cause, it is not possible to solve it without first figuring out your assumption was wrong - how do you do that? - again, prove everything. don't be like "oh i think it works" and call it done.

#

tl;dr prove it works, don't just think or assume it.

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

soo i should make a smaller replica of the whole cam movemet setup

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:37 AM

#

sleek grotto soo i should make a smaller replica of the whole cam movemet setup

that's one way

#

another way is process of elimination, try alt methods, more prints to see what is and is not executing

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:39 AM

#

proven wren i.e for example if you're sure it's purely the tween, set up your test scenario ...

just as a practical example here, say for example you have 2 pieces of code that are interacting with the camera, one is your tween, another sets the camera's cframe every frame, and you assume only one of them is running. when you tween it manually and see nothing, you can immediately assert that there is code interfering with what you're doing and, for example, delete the camera and see what happens (i.e errors might be thrown)

#

this is debugging, it is a slow and tedious process of eliminating potential causes, proving things are or are not running and/or behaving correctly, and testing runtime behavior.

#

the only reason high level scripters can come in and appear to do this so easily is because they've been doing it for so long that they know enough shortcuts, and often know what to look for

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 11:44 AM

#

proven wren just as a practical example here, say for example you have 2 pieces of code that...

e.g this is a shortcut on figuring out if any other code is interfering with the camera, and then pinpointing where its coming from

#

inferences are powerful, but it all still relies on proof and evidence.

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 11:59 AM

#

okay, about that example

#

i did try out using commands to do the tweening, and yeah the tween does not, infact, work

#

so there is indeed a part that interfers with the tween

#

which can only have to do with the OfficePOV part

#

i think

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:00 PM

#

sleek grotto which can only have to do with the OfficePOV part

so disable that code and try again

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 12:00 PM

#

redo the command?

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:01 PM

#

do also again consider reduction: Remove your entire project as a possible cause by taking your test code and running it in a completely blank baseplate with the minimum necessary to test your code

#

like if you're just tweening the camera it's a blank baseplate with nothing else, just tween(camera):play

#

just to prove your command is in fact working

#

because yes you have to prove that too

#

prove the command you're running does what it should do under normal circumstances

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

normal circumstances being "blank baseplate"?

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:02 PM

#

sleek grotto normal circumstances being "blank baseplate"?

yes

#

normal circumstances is 100% roblox official standard

#

blank baseplate, or close to

#

the roblox templates often count towards this as well

#

it's how I know for a fact that this misprediction is roblox's fuckup and not mine

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 12:04 PM

#

okay, disabled main control script, tween NOW works

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:04 PM

#

while at the same time proving that it server authority does in fact work, it just doesn't work for humanoids

#

i actually found another related bug to this, if you scale down the humanoid there are more mispredictions

#

so ya humanoids is a janky bodge job at predicting characters. but i digress

ya fair same line of thinking, you'd escalate that until the point of blank baseplate, if it still doesn't work your technique is wrong, or roblox is wrong. usually your technique is wrong but ever so occasionally it is roblox that is wrong

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

should i then just rebuild from zero, and then check step by step?

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

e.g when people complain about .touched, their technique is wrong, not roblox.

proven wren Dec 24, 2025, 12:08 PM

#

sleek grotto should i then just rebuild from zero, and then check step by step?

at this point you should have some idea that something in your code base is affecting the camera. search for it.

#

sometimes you can disable/enable parts of your code at once to narrow it down, kind of like disable all mods then enable one at a time until you find the culprit

#

depends how you wrote your code tho

#

e.g find all for workspace.CurrentCamera is a good place to start

#

or just the word Camera

sleek grotto Dec 24, 2025, 12:17 PM
