How to add a GUI inside the Freecam

Hello Everyone, This is my first time posting into DevForum

I have a question: Is it possible to add a GUI inside the Freecam?
I have a question: How can i make the Freecam usable for whitelisted People like Content Creator or other famous game creator

Can someone pls help me add a GUI inside the Freecam?

It’s no problem that this is your first post, but honestly I have no idea what you’re trying to ask help for.
Try to explain a little more about what you mean and show any attempt you’ve made to solve your issue, if you have any. I’m wondering if your post is related to scripting support or not.

Took a look at this post it might help you with adding accessibility to others:

Do you play Vehicle Legends? If you press LeftShift + P it enables freecam right?
Well i meant like adding a GUI inside it that a labels shows saying " :warning: - Freecam Enabled - :warning:"

Like that

This would simply be a matter of enabling a GuiObject's Visible property whenever you allow the player to enter Freecam mode.

I understand what you’re trying to do now, however, what problem are you facing doing it? Do you have any existing code to show us… have you implemented the Freecam and GUI aspect already?
@RMofSBI mentioned a Freecam module you can use, if you didn’t already implement the Freecam aspect of it.

Once you provide that information, we can take this discussion further.

Well i took the code from the Default Freecam script, The script the once i play the game and it can be found in Players, PlayerName, PlayerScripts, Freecam

Im not kinda a Programmer guy, So i can’t script

Here is the Code:

local pi    = math.pi
local abs   = math.abs
local clamp = math.clamp
local exp   = math.exp
local rad   = math.rad
local sign  = math.sign
local sqrt  = math.sqrt
local tan   = math.tan

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local StarterGui = game:GetService("StarterGui")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Workspace = game:GetService("Workspace")
local Settings = UserSettings()
local GameSettings = Settings.GameSettings

local LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
if not LocalPlayer then
	Players:GetPropertyChangedSignal("LocalPlayer"):Wait()
	LocalPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer
end

local Camera = Workspace.CurrentCamera
Workspace:GetPropertyChangedSignal("CurrentCamera"):Connect(function()
	local newCamera = Workspace.CurrentCamera
	if newCamera then
		Camera = newCamera
	end
end)

local FFlagUserExitFreecamBreaksWithShiftlock
do
    local success, result = pcall(function()
        return UserSettings():IsUserFeatureEnabled("UserExitFreecamBreaksWithShiftlock")
    end)
    FFlagUserExitFreecamBreaksWithShiftlock = success and result
end

And i can’t edit it cuz i dont know how to script, Plus the code is too long so i can’t find it easy to add a script to make the GUI visible
