I would like some help to fix the issue shown in the video of the camera function working while testing, but not functioning in game.
I’ve tried searching online such as the dev forums, but I can’t find anything so far.
Sooooo… can we see the code, or should we just guess what the problem is?
My bad I’m kinda new to this
local script:
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local hologram = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stored.Hologram
local maxDist = 25
local rotateKeybind = Enum.KeyCode.R
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local cameraInfoRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.CameraInfo
local removeCamRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoveCamera
local placed = false
local rotateConnection
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
hologramClone = hologram:Clone()
hologramClone.Parent = workspace
mouse.TargetFilter = hologramClone
equipped = true
rotateConnection = UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(pressed)
if pressed.KeyCode == rotateKeybind or pressed.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonB then
hologramClone:PivotTo(hologramClone.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
end
end)
if UIS.TouchEnabled then
local mobileUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MobileUI
local rotateButton = mobileUI.RotateButton
mobileUI.Enabled = true
rotateButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(function()
hologramClone:PivotTo(hologramClone.PrimaryPart.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(90), 0))
end)
end
mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
if placed == false then
placed = true
cameraInfoRE:FireServer(hologramClone.PrimaryPart.CFrame)
wait(0.05)
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
local attributeCheck = v:GetAttribute("Name")
if attributeCheck == game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name then
local screen = v:WaitForChild("Screen")
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 80
workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = screen.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(-90),0)
end
end
else
placed = false
removeCamRE:FireServer()
wait (0.05)
workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 70
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end
end)
while equipped == true do
task.wait(0.01)
if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health == 0 then
removeCamRE:FireServer()
hologramClone:Destroy()
workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = 70
workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end
if placed == true then
for i, v in pairs(hologramClone:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 1
hologramClone:FindFirstChild("Bottom").Decal.Transparency = 1
end
else
for i, v in pairs(hologramClone:GetChildren()) do
v.Transparency = 0.5
hologramClone:FindFirstChild("Bottom").Decal.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
local mouseCFrame = mouse.Hit:ToWorldSpace()
local HRPPos = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame.Position
local dist = (HRPPos - mouseCFrame.Position).Magnitude
if dist < maxDist then
hologramClone:MoveTo(mouseCFrame.Position)
end
end
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
if rotateConnection then
rotateConnection:Disconnect()
rotateConnection = nil
end
if UIS.TouchEnabled then
local mobileUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.MobileUI
mobileUI.Enabled = false
end
equipped = false
hologramClone:Destroy()
end)
Server script:
local cameraInfoRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.CameraInfo
local removeCamRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoveCamera
local fakeCam = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stored.FakeCamera
cameraInfoRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, cameraInfo)
local handle = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Portable Camera"):FindFirstChild("Handle")
local plrName = plr.Name
local clone = fakeCam:Clone()
clone:SetAttribute("Name", plr.Name)
clone.PrimaryPart.CFrame = cameraInfo * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0)
clone.Parent = workspace
handle.Transparency = 1
for i, v in pairs(handle:GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
v.Transparency = 1
end
end
end)
removeCamRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local cam = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Portable Camera")
cam:FindFirstChild("Handle").Transparency = 0
for i, v in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
local attributeCheck = v:GetAttribute("Name")
if attributeCheck == player.Name then
v:Destroy()
end
end
for i, v in pairs(cam:FindFirstChild("Handle"):GetChildren()) do
if v:IsA("Part") then
v.Transparency = 0
end
end
end)

I’d heavily suggest changing your camera spawning code to use a RemoteFunction instead, so that it will properly yield until the camera has spawned.
Just to make sure, can you print when the code reaches local screen = v:WaitForChild("Screen"), and then show what comes up in console when you place the camera down (F9)? In the actual game, of course.
Also, I refactored your code a little, but you don’t have to use it:
local cameraInfoRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.CameraInfo
local removeCamRE = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvents.RemoveCamera
local fakeCam = game.ReplicatedStorage.Stored.FakeCamera
cameraInfoRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, cameraInfo)
local handle = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Portable Camera"):FindFirstChild("Handle")
local plrName = plr.Name
local clone = fakeCam:Clone()
clone:SetAttribute("Name", plr.Name)
clone.PrimaryPart.CFrame = cameraInfo * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(90),0)
clone.Parent = workspace
handle.Transparency = 1
for _, child in pairs(handle:GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Part") then child.Transparency = 1 end
end
end)
removeCamRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player)
local cam = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Portable Camera")
cam:FindFirstChild("Handle").Transparency = 0
for _, child in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
local attributeCheck = child:GetAttribute("Name")
if attributeCheck == player.Name then child:Destroy() end
end
for _, child in pairs(cam:FindFirstChild("Handle"):GetChildren()) do
if child:IsA("Part") then child.Transparency = 0 end
end
end)
I should mention that you aren’t forced to write for i,v in. You can write anything, like for apples, bananas in, or for _, inst in.
Also, if myVariable == true then is the same as if myVariable then, and if myVariable == false then is the same as if not myVariable then.

Thanks! Your solution to changing remote events to remote functions worked.
