I can't script, but I'm trying to find a setting that allows me to change a character's FOV in my game. All of the sources I've found so far are outdated.

Then you should be chacking the wiki User#5423 17 — 5y

Question

How do I change a character's FOV?

Answer

You can get the client's camera from a LocalScript. The CurrentCamera index in https://developer.roblox.com/api-reference/class/Workspace return's the client's camera.

Simply set the FieldOfView property on the camera to a desired FOV. (Note the FOV can only be set to range [1, 120] and it is default 70)

Example code

local players = game:GetService("Players")

local client = players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera --// get camera

camera.FieldOfView = 100 --// set FoV to 100

What do I put the script in? Workspace? hvnte_r 10 — 5y

You put the local script anywhere replicated to the client *(and where scripts run)* such as `ReplicatedFirst` `StarterPlayerScripts` `StarterCharacterScripts` and `Backpack` EpicMetatableMoment 1444 — 5y

use the CurrentCamera property from workspace on the client, which is the player's camera. then change the FieldOfView property of it; article.

--client

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera

camera.FieldOfView = 50 -- default is 70 degrees
