#1

very quick question how do i disable shift lock while in first person in roblox studio so like in first person i want my mouse to be able to move around the screen and requiring right-click to rotate the avatar in roblox

#2

Try adding a text button with modal enabled that should work

#3

what do you mean???
whats the text button for

#4

if you have a text button with modal enabled it will allow you to move your mouse around while in first person

#5

so does the button act as a ‘surface’ to allow the mouse to move around while in first person?

#6

basically, if a gui button has the modal property checked, it will unlock your mouse and let you move it around. i believe it was made so you could press a gui button while in first person.

#7

you can make the button completely invisible but, from what I know this is a good way to allow the player to move their camera around by holding the right mouse button which, I think is what you wanted

#8

oh thats neat, but is there an way for shiftlock to work while in that mode?

#9

so like if the player is in 1st person, modal enabled and shiftlock on, it locks the camera but shift off, it doesnt

#10

well if you want to relock the mouse you can disable modal

here’s a little example

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local textButton = script.Parent.TextButton

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
		
		textButton.Modal = not textButton.Modal
		
	end

end)
#11

I’m not sure what you’re trying to explain

#12

really weird way to type

textButton.Modal = false

i think Modal bypasses shift lock, not sure

#13

oh yeah its so you can enable and disable modal

#14

i did this with shift instead of X and it didnt work, although the modal feature does work
the script returns the modal value as false but the mouse still moves freely

#15

Here i made a script that does it all for you :slight_smile: (change the keycode)

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local Freemouse = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
Freemouse.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
Freemouse.Name = "FreeMouse"

local FreeMouseButton = Instance.new("TextButton")
FreeMouseButton.Parent = Freemouse
FreeMouseButton.Name = "FreeMouseButton"
FreeMouseButton.Position = UDim2.new({-1000, -1000},{-1000, -1000})
FreeMouseButton.BackgroundTransparency = 1
FreeMouseButton.TextTransparency = 1
FreeMouseButton.Size = UDim2.new({0, 200},{0, 50})
FreeMouseButton.Modal = true

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then -- CHANGE C TO WHAT EVER KEY YOU WANT
		if game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FreeMouse.FreeMouseButton.Visible == false then
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FreeMouse.FreeMouseButton.Visible = true
		else
			game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.FreeMouse.FreeMouseButton.Visible = false
		end
	end
end)

Modal works even if the button isn’t visible, right?

Yes, i edited it so it shouldn’t show

#18

it turns on modal but doesnt turn it off

#20

shiftlock is when you press shift and it locks your mouse to centre. im also confused what u mean.

#21

when modal is enabled, shiftlock does not work at all in 1st person regardless of shift or no shift
