I’m just wondering if there’s a way to code shiftlock for people who use Xbox/Playstation. I have looked everywhere and can’t find a solution.

I’m not a pro scripter but I think you can use this method
first, copy this from the player when are playing the game
and second edit this script
and just choose one of the controller’s buttons for the shift lock key
and don’t forget to set them in here too
or you can write some kind of code that when you for example press Y on the controller lock the player head and the camera at the mouse position
as I said I’m new at scripting I just wanted to help you and I hope I gave you something that helps you!
Edit:
here is the shift lock script for reference

Something like this?
So when the player presses Y they should toggle shiftlock.
Edit: Im gonna go test this on my xbox rq
found something
As shown by Zolp in their YouTube video, Shift Lock on an Xbox can be activated by repeatedly pressing the “RT” trigger button on the controller until the white crosshair shows on the screen, which might take up to six presses. As soon as that happens, you can turn Shift Lock on and off with a single push of the same button.
and about that ButtonY i didn’t ever script for xbox/playstation but if it’s called ButtonY you have to change the shift lock button in the script to ButtonY too.
as i said im new in scripting but ill keep searching for you 
The playerMoudle script didnt work. And yes I am using the right key name for ButtonY. For that shift lock script where would i put it?
about the shiftlock script i mean MouseLockController in that i showed in that image
you have to change this line
self.boundKeys = {Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift, Enum.KeyCode.RightShift
(note:mine is RightAlt,LeftAlt)
to
self.boundKeys = {Enum.KeyCode.ButtonY
and dont forget to put the player module in the correct folder (starterplayerscripts)
and dont forget to save the changes
Alright I changed it. I’m gonna go test it again and hopefully it works.
Again, nothing. I have saved and published the game, the player module is in starterplayerscripts and i have updated the code too.
self.boundKeys = {Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift, Enum.KeyCode.RightShift, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonY}
I have seen other games accomplish this, such as BEAR. I’m not so sure how they might have done it tho.
i found something that may help you:
Thanks! Will look into this soon.
