camera when follow part cframe causes this weird glitchy effect. | Roblox Studio Community | Page 1

Client Script:

--Camera moves around function
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new() * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)

local function updatecamerapos()
    camera.CFrame = camerafollow.CFrame
    camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(tilt),0,0)
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    --set debounce
    loopdebounce = true
    --camera moves around
    runservice:BindToRenderStep("updatecamerapos", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updatecamerapos)
end)

Server Script:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local center = workspace.AC130_Workspace.FollowPart
local camerafollow = game.Workspace.AC130_Workspace.MainPart
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")

--settings
local angle = 0
local speed = 0.5
local offset = CFrame.new(0,0,100)
--

local function updatepart() 
    camerafollow.CFrame = center.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(angle),0) * offset
    angle += 1
    print(camerafollow.CFrame)
end

runservice.Stepped:Connect(function()
    updatepart()    
end)

when i run the game and equip the tool, theres this wacky ass glitchy effect. i dont understand why its happening. the server and client scripts are above. i think it might be because RenderStep and Stepped are slighty off, but im not sure.

I have a suspicion it's this function, but that's just after a quick glance:

local function updatecamerapos()
    camera.CFrame = camerafollow.CFrame
    camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(tilt),0,0)
end

#

It seems like setting the CFrame to two different values immediately one after another might cause some jitter.

#

oh yeah thats true

#

should i combine the two cframes?

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 3:54 PM

#

Why are you setting it to the camerafollow in the first place?

#

Sorry I'm trying to picture this 3d setting in my mind lol

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

cause i want a part to continously rotate around another part, and only when i equip a tool the camera sort of taps into the part's view

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

wooden cave Sorry I'm trying to picture this 3d setting in my mind lol

lol

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

Mkay, with that in mind lemme try and visualize what's going on lol

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:55 PM

#

lol

#

yeah take your time

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Okay, after looking at it I think you MAY be right, it might be the timing.

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

yeah

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Combining the CFrame is also a nice idea though lol save some space

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

lol yeah when im optimizing the script ill keep that in mind

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

Lemme do a mockup really quickly

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 3:57 PM

#

bet

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:03 PM

#

wooden cave Lemme do a mockup really quickly

what if i changed both to heartbeat?

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:03 PM

#

Both being on the same timing would be a good idea.

#

Before or after physics is up to you

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

yeah

#

when i set both to heartbeat it doesnt work

#

when i set both to stepped it doesnt work

#

like, it zooms into the player

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

Hmm I'm not getting the jitter...

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:04 PM

#

with renderstepped and stepped?

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

YEah

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

hmm

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:05 PM

#

local center = workspace.AC130_Workspace.FollowPart
local camerafollow = game.Workspace.AC130_Workspace.MainPart

Are these the right ones?

#

Wouldn't you swap them?

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

wooden cave ```Lua local center = workspace.AC130_Workspace.FollowPart local camerafollow = ...

i just named shitty

#

mainpart is the one that is being followed

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

Oh lol

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

followpart is the one being rotated around

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:06 PM

#

Wait, yeah

#

In your updatePart method camerafollow is being rotated. Which is the MainPart

#

What did you define camerafollow as in your client script?

#

I made it the FollowPart in mine

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:08 PM

#

wooden cave What did you define camerafollow as in your client script?

local camerafollow = game.Workspace.AC130_Workspace.MainPart

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:08 PM

#

Lemme rewrite my example now lol

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:09 PM

#

lol

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:09 PM

#

lmao still no jitter

glossy ruin Dec 30, 2022, 4:09 PM

#

BRO WHAT

#

wait show me your scripts

wooden cave Dec 30, 2022, 4:11 PM

#

Localscript in Tool:

local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local camerafollow = game.Workspace.AC130_Workspace.MainPart
local tool = script.Parent
local loopdebounce = false
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")
local tilt = -45

--Camera moves around function
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new() * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, 0)

local function updatecamerapos()
    camera.CFrame = camerafollow.CFrame
    camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(tilt),0,0)
end

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    --set debounce
    loopdebounce = true
    --camera moves around
    runservice:BindToRenderStep("updatecamerapos", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, updatecamerapos)
end)

Server Script:

local center = workspace.AC130_Workspace.FollowPart
local camerafollow = game.Workspace.AC130_Workspace.MainPart
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")

--settings
local angle = 0
local speed = 0.5
local offset = CFrame.new(0,100,100)
--

local function updatepart() 
    camerafollow.CFrame = center.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(angle),0) * offset
    angle += 1
    print(camerafollow.CFrame)
end
runservice.Stepped:Connect(function()
    updatepart()    
end)

Albeit I made some assumptions regarding some variables set in the localscript
