How to get the player's current viewing mode?
Basicly what the the title says, I want to place an object with a surfaceGUI infront of the player when he or she enters Firstpersonmode. I know how to get the player's camera and how to manipulate it, but i couldn't find this feature anywhere.
Thanks in advance!

You're not making much sense, but I think you mean Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = "Scriptable" systematicaddict 295 — 10y

-- Local Script, within Backpack/PlayerGui
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
cam = Workspace.CurrentCamera
cam.Changed:connect(function()
if (cam.CoordinateFrame.p-cam.Focus.p).magnitude < 4 then
print(player.Name.." is in First Person Mode")
else
print(player.Name.." is in Third Person Mode")
end
end)
If you want to lock the Player's camera into 3rd person, check the settings of the Player:
print( game.Players.Player.CameraMode )

Use the Changed event on the Camera object to detect when one of it's properties has changed:
previousMode = camera.CameraMode
camera.Changed:connect(function()
if camera.CameraMode ~= previousMode && camera.CamerMode == "LockFirstPerson" then
--Display the message
end
end)
Assuming that you're actually setting LockFirstPerson in the first place, your question is a bit unclear

This only gives an output when im forcing a player to go into firstperson, i want to know when a player ENTERS firstperson. gamerwies 25 — 10y

Well you shouldn't down vote the answer just because it doesn't suit your precise needs, you didn't specify what you meant in the original post. This even says "assuming you are setting LFP", you should only down vote if it is incorrect/broken - it serves its purpose. duckwit 1404 — 10y
