Enable mouse with weapons kit?

Asked 454 views2 answers

Hi I want to use the weapons kit from the developer website, however once i have installed them into my game the mouse disappears and the camera is locked which is great for gameplay but i would like to be able to enable the mouse at certain points to use Gui's.

anyone know how to do this?

I have looked at the scripting within the pack and i think it would be something to do with the shouldercam script as there is a part which says 

	-- Hide mouse and lock to center if applicable
	if self.mouseLocked and not GuiService:GetEmotesMenuOpen() then
		UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
		UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false
	else
		UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
		UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = true
	end

is there a way to enable the mouse to perhaps a key being held?

I just wouldn't use the kit to begin with. You should be able to make your own guns, therefore you know how the code works.

Yeah sure, you can undo the mouse if a key is pressed using UserInputService. Actually, the script uses UserInputService itself.

Read about it here: [https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/UserInputService]

Anyways, let me show you how you would do this.

Let’s say if you’re holding down the key Q, the mouse would be unlocked. Make a new LocalScript in the pack and put this:

local UIS = game:GetService(“UserInputService”) -- Gets the UserInputService

while wait() do -- loop this
if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Q) == true then -- If Q is being held down then
      UIS.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
      UIS.MouseIconEnabled = true
      -- Fix mouse
else
      UIS.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
      UIS.MouseIconEnabled = false
      -- Revert mouse back to normal
end
end

You should change my quotation marks because my keyboard isn’t doing them correctly

This example is very expensive, and I would use the InputBegan event instead.

-1 for using an idiom instead of the appropriate event

I hope you listened to my comment. However, if you want to stick with the guns (and I see no reason why shouldn't, if these guns have everything you need), I would focus on the following lines:

UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = true

So, my solution for this is that whenever there is a GUI use this:

UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = true

And when the GUI is gone, use this:

UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
UserInputService.MouseIconEnabled = false

Hope this helped!
