What do you want to achieve?
I have a mechanic in my game where you can place markers, but the player needs to select a color. similar to Valorant’s marker placement system. Everything works in the placement system.
What is the issue?:
When the script unlocks the mouse, (using MouseBehavior.Default and MouseBehavior.LockCenter) whenever the mouse is unlocked, no matter what I do the mouse always unlocks somewhere in the bottom left of the screen. And makes the whole system very difficult to use.
What solutions have you tried so far?:
As far as I know, I haven’t seen anything about this issue on the DevForum, I think I’m just missing something. To unlock the mouse, I’m using a built-in feature in a camera script I found by WhoBloxxedWho. It uses those lines mentioned above to unlock the mouse. I’m using a global variable in Replicated Storage that the Camera script checks for the state of the mouse, so I can unlock the mouse from menu scripts and whatnot. Here’s the camera script:

-- DoogleFox; some stuff ripped from his panner script --
-- DuruTeru; shoving it all into this script and then some :) --
