Need Help With Enabling a Camera Effect when Equipping a Tool and Sprinting

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi everyone,
Recently I have been working on a 3rd person shooter game where when you sprint when holding a tool your camera releases from a camera lock.

A good example of this is The Wild West if you have ever played that.
I want to make it that then when a tool is equipped and you are sprinting (holding leftshift), this script is enabled. If you can offer any help or guidence, that is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

This is the local script I have so far:

--Services
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

--Player
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until Player.Character
repeat wait() until Player.Character.Humanoid
repeat wait() until Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Character = Player.Character
local HumanoidRootPart = Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Humanoid = Character.Humanoid
local CamScript = Player.PlayerScripts.CameraScript
CamScript.Disabled = true
Humanoid.AutoRotate = false

--Mouse
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

--Variables
local Popper = true		--	Sets whether Popper Cam behaviour is enabled
local DeltaX = 0
local DeltaY = 0
local AngleH = 0
local AngleV = 0
local SensitivityY = 120	--	Determines how large a change in vertical angle is through a mouse rotation
local SensitivityX = 120	--	Determines how large a change in the horizontal angle is through a mouse rotation
local W = false
local A = false
local S = false
local D = false
local Offset = CFrame.new(2, 3, 15)	--	Determines the CFrame by which the camera is pushed from the CFrame of the HumanoidRootPart
local MaxY = 5*math.pi/12				--	Determines maximum vertical angle
local MinY = -5*math.pi/12			--	Determines minimum vertical angle
local Combinations = {
	{true, false, false, false, 0, 0},
	{true, true, false, false, math.pi/4},
	{false, true, false, false, math.pi/2},
	{false, true, true, false, 3*math.pi/4},
	{false, false, true, false, math.pi},
	{false, false, true, true, 5*math.pi/4},
	{false, false, false, true, 3*math.pi/2},
	{true, false, false, true, 7*math.pi/4}
}

--Camera
local Cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
Cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
UIS.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter

--Functions
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	AngleH = AngleH - DeltaX/SensitivityX
	DeltaX = 0
	AngleV = math.clamp(AngleV - DeltaY/SensitivityY, MinY, MaxY)
	DeltaY = 0
	local FinalCFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, AngleH, 0) * CFrame.Angles(AngleV, 0, 0) * Offset
	if(Popper == true) then
		local Direction = (FinalCFrame.p - Character.Head.Position).Unit * ((Offset.p).Magnitude)
		local CheckRay = Ray.new(Character.Head.Position, Direction)
		local Part, Position = game.Workspace:FindPartOnRay(CheckRay, Character, false, true)
		if Part then
			local Distance = (Position - FinalCFrame.p).Magnitude
			FinalCFrame = FinalCFrame * CFrame.new(0, 0, -Distance)
		end
	end
	Cam.CoordinateFrame = FinalCFrame
	if(W == true) or (A == true) or (S == true) or (D == true) then
		for Num, Val in pairs(Combinations) do
			if(Val[1] == W) and (Val[2] == A) and (Val[3] == S) and (Val[4] == D) then
				local DirectionVector = Cam.CoordinateFrame.lookVector
				local Position = HumanoidRootPart.Position
				local TargetCFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.Position, HumanoidRootPart.Position + Vector3.new(DirectionVector.X, 0, DirectionVector.Z))
				HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = HumanoidRootPart.CFrame:lerp(TargetCFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, Val[5], 0), 0.25)
			end
		end		
	end
end)

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(Input, Bool)
	if(Bool == false) then
		if(Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement) then
			if(DeltaX ~= Input.Delta.X) then
				DeltaX = Input.Delta.X
			end
			if(DeltaY ~= Input.Delta.Y) then
				DeltaY = Input.Delta.Y
			end
		end
	end
end)

			A = true
		elseif(Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S) then
			S = true
		elseif(Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D) then
			D = true

	end
end)

Use bool values, make one for checking if a tool is equipped and you could do something like:

Equip = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
  Equip = true
end

And then make in your sprinting function, if equipped is true if Equip == true then and then camera stuff will happen.

Just a quick reply over what you should do.
