how to turn off shift lock roblox mm2

Quick Answer

To turn off Shift Lock in Murder Mystery 2 (MM2) on Roblox, you need to disable it in your Roblox game settings —not in MM2 itself, since MM2 doesn't let players change this directly. Here's how:

How to Disable Shift Lock (For Players)

If you're playing MM2 and want to turn off Shift Lock during gameplay:

  1. PressEsc (or tap the Roblox menu icon on-screen).
  2. Click on Settings (the gear icon).
  3. Scroll down to the Controls section.
  4. Find Shift Lock Switch and toggle it Off.
  5. Exit the menu.
  6. If Shift Lock is still active, press theShift key once to toggle it off manually.

⚠️ Note: Some games (including MM2) may set this option to “Set by Developer” , meaning you can't change it yourself while playing. In that case, only the game creator can disable it.

How to Disable Shift Lock (For Game Developers)

If you're the creator of a Roblox game (or modifying MM2 in Roblox Studio), here's how to permanently disable Shift Lock for all players:

Method 1: Using Roblox Studio (GUI)

  1. Open your game in Roblox Studio.
  2. In the Explorer window, find and click on StarterPlayer.
  3. In the Properties panel, scroll down to the Controls section.
  4. Uncheck the box labeled EnableMouseLockOption.
  5. Save and publish your game.

Method 2: Using a Script

If you prefer scripting, insert this into a Script in your game:

lua

game.StarterPlayer.EnableMouseLockOption = false

Place this in a Server Script (e.g., in ServerScriptService) to ensure it applies to all players.

Why Shift Lock Might Be Stuck On

Some players report that even after turning Shift Lock off in settings, it remains active. Here's a workaround shared by the community:

  • Turn off Shift Lock in Settings.
  • Enable Click to Move temporarily.
  • Let your character move around for a few seconds.
  • Return to Settings, turn Shift Lock back on , then off again.
  • Exit the menu and press Shift once.

This can help reset the camera behavior in some cases.

TL;DR

  • Players : Go to Settings → Controls → Turn off “Shift Lock Switch” → Press Shift if needed.
  • Developers : In Roblox Studio, go to StarterPlayer → Uncheck “EnableMouseLockOption”.
  • If it says “Set by Developer” , only the game creator can change it.
