  1. What do you want to achieve?

Well, I need help with something, I’m trying to make a tool go into first person when you equip it, I thought about using remote events, but I’m honestly stuck, I need help.

Try this:

Directly inside of your tool create a LocalScript and try the following:

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMinZoomDistance = 10 -- Kick the player out of first person
	wait()
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMinZoomDistance = 0.5 -- Allow them back into first person if they want
end)

Nice script, here’s how I’d write it.

local tool = script.Parent

local players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local head = character:WaitForChild("Head")

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	local distance = (head.Position - camera.CFrame.Position).Magnitude
	player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson

	local connection do
		connection = tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
			player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
			player.CameraMinZoomDistance = distance
			player.CameraMinZoomDistance = 0.5
			connection:Disconnect()
		end)
	end
end)

When the tool is equipped the camera’s current zoom distance is saved. When the tool is eventually unequipped, the camera’s zoom goes back to its previous position.
