Cant move camera because of first person script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

hi, so i have a game with a first person script that i got from the toolbox, and i’m currently trying to make a jumpscare

however this first person script is continuously running and therefore not allowing me to focus the camera on something else or even change the camera type from scriptable

now i’ve tried disabling the script which works but that requires resetting the character so that won’t work

here is this script i guess:


repeat wait() until game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Character ~= nil
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local input = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

CanToggleMouse = {allowed = false; activationkey = Enum.KeyCode.F;} -- lets you move your mouse around in firstperson
CanViewBody = true 		-- whether you see your body
Sensitivity = 0.2		-- anything higher would make looking up and down harder; recommend anything between 0~1
Smoothness = 0.05		-- recommend anything between 0~1
FieldOfView = 90		-- fov

local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local m = player:GetMouse()
m.Icon = "http://www.roblox.com/asset/?id=569021388" -- replaces mouse icon
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local humanoidpart = character.HumanoidRootPart

local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")
local CamPos,TargetCamPos = cam.CoordinateFrame.p,cam.CoordinateFrame.p 
local AngleX,TargetAngleX = 0,0
local AngleY,TargetAngleY = 0,0

local running = true
local freemouse = false

function updatechar()
	
	for _, v in pairs(character:GetChildren())do
		if CanViewBody then
			if v.Name == 'Head' then
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
				v.CanCollide = false
			end
		else
			if v:IsA'Part' or v:IsA'UnionOperation' or v:IsA'MeshPart' then
				v.LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
				v.CanCollide = false
			end
		end
		if v:IsA'Accessory' then
			v:FindFirstChild('Handle').LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
			v:FindFirstChild('Handle').CanCollide = false
		end
		if v:IsA'Hat' then
			v:FindFirstChild('Handle').LocalTransparencyModifier = 1
			v:FindFirstChild('Handle').CanCollide = false
		end

	end
	
end

	if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then

		local X = TargetAngleX - delta.y 
		TargetAngleX = (X >= 80 and 80) or (X <= -80 and -80) or X 
		TargetAngleY = (TargetAngleY - delta.x) %360 
	end	
	
end)

			else
				freemouse = false
			end
		end
	end
	
end)

		character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
		else game:GetService("UserInputService").MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default; character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = true
	end

	if (cam.Focus.p-cam.CoordinateFrame.p).magnitude < 1 then
		running = false
	else
		running = true
		if freemouse == true then
			game:GetService("UserInputService").MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
		else

		end
	end
	
	if not CanToggleMouse.allowed then
		freemouse = false
	end
	
	cam.FieldOfView = FieldOfView

end)

not sure how i can be helped with this but any ideas are appriciated

The code is running every time because it has a loop which repeats the code that manipulates the camera.

this first person script is keep looping your camera position.
so just make when player dies switch the script from enabled to disabled.

ive tried using a bool value to toggle if the loop runs but it only switches after i reset character

#5

do not do bool value, just write like this:

player.Character.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Cam script name here").Enabled = false
end)

any time your character dies, the script will be disabled.
