I noticed we don't have any filmmaker gear.

Title: Videocamera

Function:
The Videocamera gear would work in the way that when used, your character would scream "ACTION!", then it would trigger the in-built video recording. Then when you clicked again he would say "CUT!" and the video would end. You could also deselect the tool and the video would continue until you selected it again and clicked. Possibly an animated GUI overlay that shows the duration of the clip as well as one of those red recording lights.

Looks like: A professional camcorder

Gear Attribute: Social item, All genres

Title: Camera

Function:
The Camera gear would work in a similar way. Exept that when you use it (click), your character says "Cheeeze!" and it takes a screenshot. Possibly a GUI overlay. 5 second cooldown.

Looks like: A DSLR camera or a digital camera.

Gear Attribute: Social item, All genres

The way you mentionned it,I think it would be abusable,Since it would create a new function to take a picture/video.

for i = 1,1000 do
takescreenshot()
end

While I still support in a way, I've seen cinematic gear be scripted MANY, MANY times. I've even used user-created cinematic gears, they work great!

A big reason for why I want it is to use it as part of my look on ROBLOX. (Together with my avatar)

Feel free to suggest functions to make them more usefull in game.

Would be cool if the camera gear removed your cursor when you used it for example.

I thought about that sonic. People could copy the code and use it for destructive scripts. Until ROBLOX finds a way to lock the function to only those two gear items it probably wouldn't work.

But since you can trigger video and screenshots manually, what kind of functions should be put in to make it usefull in-game? The sound parts would be cool. But also the ability to remove GUIs. Although this could also be abused.

The cursor should be removed for sure. Possibly that while selected, the camera moves smoother?

@Ton, it has been scripted many times already, and nearly all of them DO remove your cursor.

But like I said,you would need ways to manage the functions.

for i = 1,1000 do
takescreenshot()
end

This would actually take 1000 screenshots in a second.You would also have to give notifications to the user when a picture/video is taken and the user would have to accept the said picture/video to be taken.

Or else you could take a picture every seconds taking space on the user computer.

But again, you can't bring it with you to other places. The point of gear is having it with you. IRL, a Camera is a perfect example of gear you would bring along wherever you went.

For the cursors you can simply set the cursor icon to a transparent image.

Go to a place.


Press F12.


You are now recording a moving-picture video that can take over 15+ minutes of footage.



However, a camera gear, would be UNBELIEVABLY hard to script!


ROBLOX can't make a gear that saves everything from 1 game and can transfer to another. Gears don't work like that.


Plus if this WAS possible, every game would be forced to load thousands of screenshots turned into a video on a brick, thus lagging the game.

You could make a ROBLOX Video, upload it to any website you want like YouTube, and then tell your friend the name of the video or how to find it.

Light sources and light effects exist in ROBLOX Studio already. Ever heard of the Dynamic Lighting update?



And thousands of user-made working cameras were scripted.


And when you press F12 you are automatically recording ingame or instudio footage.

@Bill, sound can't be uploaded to ROBLOX by users!



Nearly everything suggested in this post already exists, and some of them are impossible...

ColourBrendon.

You are still missing the point.
We know these things exist. We want to use them outside our own places.

This is a great idea, I think. It should be used in a place like in-game currency where it prompts you to record or play it. I believe it should be editable with data persistance also.

Ah. I missed one individual word of one of your posts, making what my brain read was that you expected a working camera that could take footage of one game and transfer it to be viewed at another.


My mistake. But, the guy who suggested lights, that already exists.


And thank you for calling me Brendon, just about anywhere I go I get called "CoulerfalBranden"

they should implement something like this in studio.

cameras you can point at specific locations and broadcast to a "screen" brick somewhere in the game.
