How would I make a mouse click enable a LocalScript?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

So I have two cameras one is The regular behind the shoulder Roblox one and the other is one I scripted to be down the iron sights of a gun and I’m trying to enable the second script when pressing MouseButton2 help is appreciated

You should not be enabling or disabling scripts

#3

Why is that? I’m not the best at scripting and it seemed like the best way

#4

Probably be best to just toggle between view points … However,
what you’re asking for you’ll want to for sure toggle right.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local aimScript = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Script")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, processed)
	if processed then return end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		if aimScript then aimScript.Enabled = true end
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, processed)
	if processed then return end
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		if aimScript then aimScript.Enabled = false end
	end
end)

FYI, Instance:WaitForChild is guaranteed to return the target child. If the target child does not exist, the caller thread will be yielded until it does. You can simplify the if-statement by removing the aimScript clause

Ya, I don’t like using FindFirstChild() unless I’m looking for ~=nil or not. But I do like stalling a script to give everything else time to load… I’ll just make sure it’s there. I like the error, telling me to do it right. :smile:

Let’s say you had a part on that gun named sight … and that was where you wanted the view.

This was a good prototype, but got this working nicely with a tween zoom too.
Had to go to PMs as it took a bit of posting ..

This script isn’t working for some reason I have it as a LocalScript in StarterPlayerScripts do you know any solutions?

#8

I’m being kind of loose with this reference …
local aimScript = script.Parent:WaitForChild(“Script”)
Make sure that is set up right for you …
Still have this is the studio toggling fine.

The other script would use a transparent part welded or an Attachment.
Attachments work well for that kind of stuff and even have an offset for fine-tuning.
As seen in the race demo, how the car can swap to 4 different views.

Its still not working unfortunately I probably should have mentioned it in the post but the model is a custom StarterCharacter would that mess with the script at all?

#10

Stating to sound like it… Any errors any information? Are scripts there?
That is just a simple toggle.

#11

There’s a infinite yield for the gun model and the sight but I don’t see anything else the project output is very messy with other stuff
