Need help with my simple zoom into ironsight script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello, Im trying to make a script when the player is zoomed in and clicks the right mouse button, the player will look through the scope. I have tried setting the players camera CFrame to the ironsight part but when I click the right mouse button, the camera keeps spinning. I’ve used quenty’s perfection weld script to weld all parts together. Piece of the code:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local gunScope = script.Parent:WaitForChild("sightaim")

Mouse.Button2Down:connect(function()
--ignore the code below, its just checking if the player is zoomed in.
if not Reloading and not HoldDown and AimDown == false and Equipped == true and  Module.IronsightEnabled and (Camera.Focus.p-Camera.CoordinateFrame.p).magnitude <= 1 then 
			
Camera.CFrame= gunScope.CFrame
end)

The script looks all right, but is the scope facing the front? (Check within the properties). Also, the camera replicates one CFrame of the scope’s: What I mean is that the camera isn’t constantly getting the Scope’s CFrame, it only replicates it once. Try a loop instead (repeat until); I see also you didn’t set the Camera’s type to a scriptable.
Camera.CameraType
TLDR: Conclusion: Loop the CFrame and change the Camera’s type.

In this case, I think changing the Camera’s FOV would be more appropriate.

Changing the cframe would make it seem like your character has moved, which isn’t the case.

To elaborate on what jrelvas said, you could do something like

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Mouse = player:GetMouse()
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local defaultFOV = Camera.FieldOfView
local targetFOV = 40
local MouseIsDown = false

Mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
	MouseIsDown = true
    repeat wait()
      Camera.FieldOfView = Camera.FieldOfView - 1
    until (Camera.FieldOfView<=targetFOV) or not MouseIsDown
end)

Mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
	 MouseIsDown = false
	Camera.FieldOfView = defaultFOV
end)

Hey, thanks for your reply. I think I’ll stick with changing the FOV, however how do I make like it looks through the Scope union? Thanks.

You could tween down the Player’s CameraMaxzoomDistance.

oldMaxZoom = player.CameraMaxZoomDistance
for i=0,10 do wait()
  player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = oldMaxZoom*(10-i/10)
end

Something like this

I feel like zooming in like this could be done easier with TweenService

But to contribute: Use TweenService instead of incrementing with for loops. (Unless you have to for countdowns.)

I tend to use tweenservice for more complicated things and loops for simple linear things like this.

I would especially consider using loops for a gun zoom animation because the user might want to exit the zoom in the middle of the loop. I guess you could always use Tween:Stop()

You dont even need to use Tween:Stop() it automatically overwrites the current tween if you retween it. but ye like I said for loops and tweenservice are for specific things.

Thanks all for your reply. Ill try it out.
