Help making lock system

[ScriptingWhiz (blokesmurf)]

I want to make a lock on system similar to

Hey! I saw your comment and understood you’re looking for a Lock-On system. These systems aren’t too hard to create, and I actually made one myself while working on some combat systems for my own games.

I can share the script I made with you. It’s written in a LocalScript, and you can adjust it to fit your own needs. Here’s how to get started:

1. Go to StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts.
2. Create a LocalScript.
3. Paste this code inside:

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

local locked = false
local target = nil

local function getTarget()
	local ray = workspace:Raycast(mouse.UnitRay.Origin, mouse.UnitRay.Direction * 1000, RaycastParams.new())
	if ray and ray.Instance then
		local model = ray.Instance:FindFirstAncestorOfClass("Model")
		if model and model:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") and model ~= player.Character then
			return model
		end
	end
	return nil
end

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)
	if gpe then return end
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.L then
		if not locked then
			local result = getTarget()
			if result then
				target = result
				locked = true
			end
		else
			locked = false
			target = nil
		end
	end
end)

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if locked and target and target:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
		local hrp = target.HumanoidRootPart
		local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
		cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cam.CFrame.Position, hrp.Position)
	end
end)

Now just test it with an NPC or any model that has a Humanoid. Press L to lock/unlock the camera onto the target.

This is a simple prototype I made to test how the camera behaves when locked onto something. Feel free to modify or expand it with smooth transitions, UI indicators, or multi-target selection — whatever your game needs!

Hope this helps!
