How do I make the player be forced into first person when he clicks play?

Asked by

I am currently working on a menu GUI for my FPS (Design going well). In games like Phantom Forces, you can freely scroll around (being able to customize your weapon and such) until you click play, where it locks your player in first person until you die. I already have a code for making the menu disappear when you click play (it works), but how do I lock the player into first person once he does that?

This is the code for making the menu disappear when you click play, considering you guys might have wanted to see my progress with it.

bin = script.Parent

function Clicked()
bin.Parent.Visible = false 
end 
bin.MouseButton1Down:connect(Clicked)

script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function()
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = .5
end)

thie is for a gui

script.Parent.Touched(function(hit)
    game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 400
end)

try using something like this for the zoom. to get it back when they die, google ondeath()

Add the other script under line 3 or under line 1? MariusAurelius 85 — 8y

under line one. line one is the function. when it fires, it triggers all the stuff between it and the end). theCJarmy7 1293 — 8y

Alright. I'm going to bed. If it doesn't work I'll hit you up either here or on Roblox. MariusAurelius 85 — 8y

Hi, theCJarmy7. Yesterday I asked for help on Scripting Helpers and you gave me this code: script.Parent.MouseButton1Down:connect(function() game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMaxZoomDistance = .5 end) And well, it worked. The only problem that I had with this was when I reset my character, it didn't go out of first person mode. I will show you the script now, and maybe you can improve upon it? sc MariusAurelius 85 — 8y

Setting Player.CameraMode to Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson should work.

That's for the entire game though, right? I want it to be able to lock into first person right when the character presses "Play" on my menu. MariusAurelius 85 — 8y

You can reset it every time the player respawns. XAXA 1569 — 8y

I'm not quite understanding what you mean. I'm saying that I want the player to freely move his mouse around the menu to customize his weapon and such until he clicks play, which will lock him in first person when he is put in the battlefield. Example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iUlO5I9kHSM (This is not mine.) He pretty much scrolls around the menu but once he clicks play he is locked into fi MariusAurelius 85 — 8y
