Shift lock style camera mode

Why, hi there I am Crrustyy!

I know the thing called ‘Shift lock’ and I thought it was pretty cool!

However, how do I activate it without the use of shift? When a player joins the game, it is an automatic camera mode?

I haven’t come across any tutorials, as they are all about how to use the current Shift Lock.

Any suggestions?

I think there’s no way to automactically turn on shift lock without using shift button. Although, you can just press shift to turn it on, and this is the only and the most efficient way to do this. If we can turn on shift lock without the shift button than why it is called “ShiftLock”? Thanks for asking this question.

I believe you have to fork the current camera scripts and read through it for proper comprehensions of its functionality. If you have found the shift locking mechanism, just rewrite it to the forked scripts.

Ok, let me rephrase it. How do I create a camera position LIKE the one in shift lock?

To answer your question, there’s a code sample on the Camera Manipulation article that act similarly to shift lock. There’s no forking of the camera scripts needed, just create a LocalScript into StarterPlayerScripts and copy the code from the Over-the-Shoulder section.
