Camera moving as if right click was held down

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’ve seen other threads on this topic,but I’ve never been able to truly find I want.

I’m looking for the regular camera behaviour to be as if:
Shiftlock was on,but the player did not rotate,or more simply as camera moving as if right click was constantly held.

I’ve seen uses of changing MouseBehaviour but I’m looking for a method to also allow regular shiftlock alongside this specific camera mode.

UserInputService.MouseBehavior is the only way to accomplish this. ShiftLock could also work too but you would need to set it to LockCenter every frame.

You can easily just call MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCurrentPosition every tick.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")

local GetPlayers = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("GetPlayers")
local Player = Players.LocalPlayer

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

while true do
    local PlayerGui = Player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")
    local MouseBehavior = PlayerGui:WaitForChild("MouseBehavior")
    local MouseLock = MouseBehavior:WaitForChild("MouseLock")
    local MouseLockValue = MouseLock.Value

    if MouseLockValue == true then
        Camera.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCurrentPosition
    end
end

This will lock the camera in place as long as the property MouseLock is set to true.

Since roblox has the feature already it isn’t hard to enable it. It just took some time to find it.

  1. Find the PlayerModule in PlayerScripts if you already have it there, then find the child “BaseCamera” or PlayerModule → CameraModule → BaseCamera.

  2. Require the script in whatever script you’re using as a module script.

  3. Jump to line 1070 also called the function “OnMousePanButtonPressed.”

  4. Replace its code with this,

function BaseCamera:OnMousePanButtonPressed(input, processed, isEquipped)
	self:UpdateMouseBehavior()
	self.panBeginLook = self.panBeginLook or self:GetCameraLookVector()
	if isEquipped ~= nil then
		self.startPos = self.startPos or Vector3.new(input.X, input.Y, 0)
	else
		self.startPos = self.startPos or input.Position
	end
	self.lastPos = self.lastPos or self.startPos
	self.userPanningTheCamera = true
end
  1. Now go back to the script where you required the function and invoke it like so (Make sure it’s only called once)
BaseCameraModule:OnMousePanButtonPressed(Mouse, true, true)

  1. Whenever the player is done, invoke the function “OnMousePanButtonReleased”

  2. Enjoy!!!
