Issue with automatically setting the camera into 1st person mode only using script after waiting for a while

[Joe_TheSnake (Joe)]

What I am trying to do with my script is when you wait for a while, the game sets the camera into first person by force. Here is my script.

game.StarterPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 20 ---The starting Distance
wait(10)
game.StarterPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 0.5 --- Sets into First person mode

I have putted this script on workspace so if there is something I did wrong, please contact me. Thank you!

In case you still dont know, you first freely go into third or first person, but after a while, you are forced to be in first person view.

The fact is that you use StarterPlayer, and it changes the camera only after respawn, in order to change the camera at a particular moment, you need to use:

For Local Script

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

Player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 20

task.wait(10)

Player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = .5

---

For Server Script

1. Create a RemoteEvent and put it in ReplicatedStorage and name it CameraEvent
2. Create a server script in Workspace or ServerScriptService and put this in there

local CameraEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CameraEvent")

CameraEvent:FireAllClients(20) -- Instead of 20, enter the number of maximum camera distance you need

task.wait(10)

CameraEvent:FireAllClients(0.5) -- Instead of 0.5, enter the number of maximum camera distance you need

3. Create a local script and put it in StarterGui or StarterPlayerScripts and type this in there:

local CameraEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CameraEvent")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

CameraEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Focus)
   Player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = Focus
end)

---

If you want smooth zoom then paste this in Local Script:

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local CameraEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("CameraEvent")

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

CameraEvent.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(Focus)
   TweenService:Create(Player, TweenInfo.new(.7, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {
      CameraMaxZoomDistance = Focus
   }):Play()
end)

its not working, for the (Server script), do I rename my script into “Server Script” or move it to server script service?

Instead of CameraMaxZoomDistance, you can try and use game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson in a LocalScript. (I would put it in StarterCharacterScripts)
