Gun Shiftlock On Equip Help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I wanna make this for my gun that when the players fires their first shot (by pressing mousebutton1) it immediately puts the player into shiftlock , ive tried looking for certain scripts , couldnt find them i found one of them but it dosent work properly
My game uses PlayerModule for an inventory system and shiftlock glitches with it

How would i go on making that when one shot is fired from the gun it puts the player into shiftlock without bugging out

(The bug i faced before was it was in shiftlock but i was not able to move the camera using my mouse)

Any help is appreciated
Thanks

Try this setup:

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function enableShiftLock()
    -- Enable shift lock mode
    player.DevEnableMouseLock = true
    UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter

    -- Set the camera mode to support shift lock
    local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
    camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom -- or Scriptable if you want more control
end

-- Function to detect the first shot fired
local function onFirstShot()
    enableShiftLock()
end

-- Example for detecting first shot using a tool's `Activated` event
local tool = script.Parent -- Assuming the script is a child of the tool
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
    onFirstShot()
end)

Can’t do this without permission. Best you can hope for is a workaround that works for you.

This dosent seem to have an effect i can provude you the gun model i made and maybe you could try working on it

Heres the link to it
Put the Holster , PistolAcc , Pistol in replicated storage
And put the game mgr in serverscriptservice

I heavily apologize sir I did not at all test what I sent otherwise I would have seen the Output that says you can’t use that method. I have setup a workaround framework for you that should do what you intended. You can modify it as needed for your gun system. I tested with a Tool object and Handle inside tool object. Script is a LocalScript.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local shiftLockEnabled = false

-- Enable shift lock
local function enableShiftLock()
	shiftLockEnabled = true
	UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end

-- Disable shift lock
local function disableShiftLock()
	shiftLockEnabled = false
	UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
end

-- Update character orientation to match camera direction
local function updateCharacterOrientation()
	if shiftLockEnabled then
		-- Align the character's root part to the camera's look direction
		local cameraCFrame = Camera.CFrame
		local lookDirection = cameraCFrame.LookVector

		-- Calculate the rotation for the character
		local newCFrame = CFrame.new(humanoidRootPart.Position, humanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(lookDirection.X, 0, lookDirection.Z))

		-- Update character's rotation (only Y-axis)
		humanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(humanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.atan2(-lookDirection.X, -lookDirection.Z), 0)
	end
end

-- Tool activation to enable shift lock
local tool = script.Parent
tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if not shiftLockEnabled then
		enableShiftLock()
	end
end)

-- Tool unequipped to disable shift lock
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	disableShiftLock()
end)

-- Update character rotation on every frame
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(updateCharacterOrientation)
