How to force shiftlock

[Naruto_Uzumakui (CitizenFoffie)]

I have a custom Camera script and I would like for it to have shiftlock that works how shiftlock normally does, but I don’t know how to cause the camera to enter shiftlock.

Forcing Shiftlock

For awhile now i’ve seen threads with questions about forcing shiftlock in games and how to do it, after spending some time working on my combat game I’m pretty positive i’ve found a decent solution. Here’s what I did: For starters I wanted the shiftlock to toggle whenever I set a certain boolean to true, so I created a folder in StarterPlayerScripts with the boolean inside [image] After this I needed to make it actually do something, so I created a local script inside of StarterCharacterScr…

That method seems wonky, I found one that fits perfectly with what I’m doing but for some reason doesn’t work on death.

function shiftLock(active) --Toggle shift.lock function
	print(active)
	if active then		
		hum.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(1.75,0,0) -- I assume this is about the right camera offset.
		hum.AutoRotate = false --Disable the automatic rotation since we are the ones setting it.
			RunService:BindToRenderStep("ShiftLock", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value, function()
			UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter --Set the mouse to center every frame.

			local _, y = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Rotation:ToEulerAnglesYXZ() --Get the angles of the camera
			root.CFrame = CFrame.new(char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").RootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0,y,0) --Set the root part to the camera's rotation
		end) 
	else

		hum.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0,0,0) --Move the camera back to normal.
		RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("ShiftLock") -- Allow mouse to move freely.
		UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default -- Let the mouse move freely
		hum.AutoRotate = true --Let the humanoid handle the camera rotations again.
	end
end

Add the script in StarterCharacterScripts so it runs every time the player character gets added, and thus resets.

It’s in StarterPlayer but I don’t see how that makes a difference

Add it in StarterCharacterScripts. In StarterPlayer it will only run once, and in StarterCharacterScripts it will run every time the character dies.

Is there anyway to get it working in StaterPlayer for neatness I’d perfer it to be with the actual CameraScript rather than a separate one
