#1

I made a script that puts the player in third person when equipped however when I unequip it and change the offset back I want to keep the same distance so it is a clean transition.

local tool = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local thirdPersonCameraOffset = CFrame.new(0,1,10)
local NormalCameraOffset = CFrame.new(0,-1,-10)

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson

	RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * thirdPersonCameraOffset
	end)
	print("works")
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
	player.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.Classic
	
	RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * NormalCameraOffset
	end)

end)

You should change the CameraMinZoomDistance property of the player. Make it how far out you want the camera to be when the tool is equipped.
