How to change FOV after item usage?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am currently working on a small project and am making an item which, after usage, increases the player’s FOV and plays a client sided sound. Each time I add or change code in the script however, it still doesn’t work. I have tried using a separate local script to convey the wanted actions, along with remote events, but each ends in either the tool breaking or the desired events not occurring. Can I get any help on this?

Current code of the tool (Doesn’t contain the sound, trying to get the FOV part down just to know that the code works)

local tool = script.Parent
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local playeR = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local eventer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").effects

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	tool:Deactivate() -- so people can't spam usage
	wait(1) -- animation delay
	local function effects(amount)
		local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView + 15})
		tween:Play()
		wait(5)
		local tween2 = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView - 15})
		tween2:Play()
	end
	eventer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
		effects()
	end)
	local humanoid = tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health + 70
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
	tool:Destroy()
	wait(5)
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end)

Try and instead of doing “+” then do “+=” because this is the correct way to add onto the value. So it would be:

		local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView += 15})
		tween:Play()
		wait(5)
		local tween2 = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView -= 15})

You need to declare the remote function outside of the activate and also the effects function activate is everytime the player clicks the button so it would make multi connections to these functions the way you had them try something like below also i setup a orig variable and debounce setup for activation

local tool = script.Parent
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local playeR = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local eventer = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage").effects
local debounce  -- used as debounce so usage is not spammed

local OrigFieldOfView = camera.FieldOfView  -- i would set an original and go off that incase it gets run 2x somehow


function effects(amount)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = OrigFieldOfView + 15})
	tween:Play()
	wait(5)
	local tween2 = TweenService:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint), {FieldOfView = OrigFieldOfView - 15})
	tween2:Play()
end

eventer.OnServerEvent:Connect(function()
	effects()
end)


tool.Activated:Connect(function()
	if debounce then return end  -- this could be used so ppl don't spam
	debounce = true  -- set true so only can run once until niled out after waits
	--tool:Deactivate() -- so people can't spam usage
	wait(1) -- animation delay
	local humanoid = tool.Parent:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
	humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health + 70
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 25
	tool:Destroy()
	wait(5)
	humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
	debounce = nil
end)
