How to Shift Lock on Roblox

If you've played Roblox before, you've probably come across the options for first and third person gameplay. With the first person option, keeping your camera in position proves to be not very difficult as the game automatically keeps it locked in place for you. However, this isn't the case in third person. In third person, players have to adjust the camera with the right mouse button manually. This is annoying and when in a tight situation can even hinder gameplay. Shift locking allows locks the cursor and camera in the center of the screen, meaning there's no need to manually adjust the camera perspective!
