FOV script not working

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Let’s get straight into it, so I’ve been trying to make an FOV system recently but nothing has been working.

This is my script:

workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = script.Parent.Text

By the way the Gui is a textbox.

I’ve also tried doing it with a button:

workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()

workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = 60

end)

But that also didn’t work. If you have any ideas please tell me!

you need to use workspace.CurrentCamera
not workspace.Camera
this is the problem

#3

I’ve just tried that but it isn’t changing anything. Here’s the script:

workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = script.Parent.Text
#4

Give this a try and let me know if it works.
(You don’t need to change the CameraType to set the FieldOfView.)

workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = tonumber(script.Parent.Text)
#5

It still doesn’t work. It prints 70 and I see no changes to my camera. By the way I’ve added an extra line for checking what FOV the camera is on. This is the line:

print(workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView)

Could you possibly show me your full script and a screenshot of where the TextBox and script is?

#7

I’ve mentioned the full script in my post.

The text box is here:

The script is here:

#8

Is the script named “Detect” the one setting the FieldOfView?

#9

Yes it’s setting the field of view

#10

Put the code of it in a local script.

#11

You should try this instead;

workspace.Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

button.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
    workspace.Camera.FieldOfView = tonumber(TextBox.Text)
end)
#12

I put it in a local script but it didn’t work.

#13

Are there any errors in the output?

#14

Nope, there are no errors regarding the script.

#15

This also didn’t work unfortunately.

#16

Put this in your script that is parented to the TextBox.

script.Parent.Changed:Connect(function()
    workspace.CurrentCamera.FieldOfView = tonumber(script.Parent.Text)
end)

And make sure it is in a LocalScript.

Yea I assume this one should work just fine.
