Fore shift lock with default module

[Narunzo]

Can I change the code of the default camera module script somehow?

What I want to do is force/toggle the mouse lock option with the default camera module. Would I be able to do this without needing to recreate the camera module?

How can I force shift lock?

For a while now I’ve been meaning to force shift lock for my 3rd person game.Though I did find some ways to do this, they weren’t very efficient because I can’t find any methods to force it and stop forcing it if I(or the player) ever wanted to interact with the menu UI by pressing M.I know it’s possible to force shift lock in your game because I’ve seen it done in a few games before (Dragon Ball Final Stand by @SnakeWorl for example) , I just don’t know how exactly to go about it or where to s…

I know about that thread. Do you happen to know what the guy who answered it is talking about. Like, where do I put the code he is talking about?

It says " Unknown global ‘self’ "

Yea I deleted it because I realized it needs to be put in some kind of camera module.

Do you know how to do that by any chance?

Just did some researches, try this one in a local script

local PlayerModule = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule")
local cameras = require(PlayerModule):GetCameras()
local BoundKeys = PlayerModule.CameraModule.MouseLockController:WaitForChild("BoundKeys")
local OldBoundKeys = BoundKeys.Value

local CenterLocked = false
local function ToggleLock()
	local CameraController = cameras.activeCameraController
	local MouseLockController = cameras.activeMouseLockController
	CenterLocked = not CenterLocked
	if CenterLocked then
		if MouseLockController:GetIsMouseLocked() then -- toggle shift lock off
			MouseLockController:OnMouseLockToggled()
		end
		CameraController:SetMouseLockOffset(Vector3.new())
		CameraController:SetIsMouseLocked(true)
		BoundKeys.Value = "" -- disables shift lock toggle
	else
		CameraController:SetIsMouseLocked(false)
		BoundKeys.Value = OldBoundKeys -- restores shift lock toggle
	end
end

-- example use, press T to toggle center lock
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	if gameProcessedEvent then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.T then
		ToggleLock()
	end
end)

Custom center-locked mouse camera control toggle

I’ve read a bit of the new camera and character control modules source code and came up with an implementation for center-locking the mouse while controlling the camera that also supports shift lock. Shift lock has properties for developers to disable it in their games, but those properties are read-only in runtime, so you can’t use them to disable shift lock temporarily to stop it from affecting the camera. I’ve found a loophole, though: a StringValue named BoundKeys is available to change whi…

It says that MouseLockController is nil.

You must fork PlayerModule (module script) what that means is you copy that module script called PlayerModule how you do that is after playing game in studio you then look for Players in Explorer like so Players/YourPlayerName/PlayerScripts then copy PlayerModule from there. Then you stop the game and paste that module script inside StarterPlayer/StarterPlayerScripts. Now after that you must look for the CameraModule under PlayerModule then click on that module script to view the code inside then search for Update function you can do that by pressing ctrl+f then type that Update word look untill you find the function called CameraModule:Update(dt) then you put this line of code inside self.activeCameraController:SetIsMouseLocked(true)
