Player.CameraMode

It will be set to Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson while the player is in first person.

This isnt working. I have tested it and I can see if the player does go into first person the script doesnt run.

It should print something.

Im just using PropertyChangedSignal, and yes I am looking at the value, Its not changing.

This does work if the player scrolls into first person right?

My bad. That’s what it is when you force first person.

Take a look at this:

#5

This is false. When you zoom in, it is not set to Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson.

You can check the distance between the camera and the player’s head in every frame and see if it’s low enough where it would be zoomed in.

A simple way of doing this is to check the distance between the camera and the limb of the character where the camera is based on, i.e head

--localscript
local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local FIRST_PERSON_DISTANCE = 1

local function IsInFirstPerson(CameraPoint: Vector3): boolean 
   return Player:DistanceFromCharacter(CameraPoint) < FIRST_PERSON_DISTANCE; 
end
