I made this script so when you touch a characters torso (a character in my game) a camera will appear attached to them. It doesnt work, which to be honest im not suprised by. The output wont tell me whats wrong so i was hoping you guys could take a look? Im still a very weak scripter so theres probably LOADS wrong with it. function onTouched(hit) Cam = Instance.new("Camera") Cam.Parent = hit.Parent Cam.CameraType = "Attach" Cam.CameraSubject = game.Workspace.Terry.Torso end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched)

function onTouched(hit) Cam = Instance.new("Camera") Cam.Parent = game.Workspace.Terry.Torso Cam.CameraType = "Attach" Cam.CameraSubject = game.Workspace.Terry.Torso end script.Parent.Touched:connect(onTouched) Try that. Because hit.Parent would be your character ingame.

Cameras are local. Therefore they have to be placed in a local environment. Thus makin' it impossible to access the camera from a global script. What you do, is make a localscript and put it in your starterpack. You then connect that touched event to that brick from starterpack. Then you change the camera. =P Btw, you can access the camera using this: Workspace.CurrentCamera

Indeed it is. =P But it cannot get less confusing. I suggest you learn a bit more about other stuff before you go on to local stuff (dealing with cameras local lighting etc)...
