camera lerping stuttering issue

[chrome furnace]

i have this camera lerping code, which works as i want it to but my player stutters when moving around

local min = -10 
local max = 10
local Rigidness = 2.3 



local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rootpart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local CamPart = Instance.new("Part")

CamPart.CanCollide = false
CamPart.Anchored = true
CamPart.Position = head.Position
CamPart.FrontSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Motor
CamPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
CamPart.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
local pos
game["Run Service"].Heartbeat:Connect(function(dt)
    if CamPart.Position.Magnitude > 10000 or CamPart.Position.Magnitude < -10000 then
        CamPart.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
    end
    pos = head.Position
    CamPart.Position = CamPart.Position:Lerp(pos,Rigidness*(dt*10))
    CamPart.CFrame = CamPart.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.lookAt(CamPart.Position,head.Position),Rigidness*(dt*10))
    local calc = (rootpart.CFrame+Vector3.new(0,1.1,0)):Inverse() * (CamPart.Position)
    if calc.Magnitude > max/2 then
        workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.lookAt(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position,head.Position),Rigidness/(Rigidness*10)),Rigidness/(Rigidness*10))
    end
    humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(math.clamp(calc.X,min,max),math.clamp(calc.Y,min,max),math.clamp(calc.Z,min,max))

end)

Heartbeat updates before the camera does

[chrome furnace]

so i should use something other than heartbeat, or..??

[rain otter]

game["Run Service"]:BindToRenderStep("MyCameraLoop", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
 Your code here... 
end)

** You are now Level 2! **

[rain otter]

If it still doesn't work, try adding/removing one from the second argument, I never know which one it is

like Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value+1

[chrome furnace]

i just tried this, and -1 but they are both still have similar result?

[rain otter]

uh, try by putting 9999 instead of Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value

[chrome furnace]

thats like even worse 🙏

not trying to be mean or anything but yeah

[rain otter]

Why is there a "calc.Magnitude" check?

[chrome furnace]

im not sure, i didnt really create the script i just modified it quite a lot

[rain otter]

Cause if it doesn't pass this condition, it doesn't update the camera at this frame

try removing the condition

[chrome furnace]

when i remove it, my player changes direction slightly when i zoom in.

[rain otter]

Yeah but is there the stuttering issue still?

[chrome furnace]

ehh

[quiet aurora]

** You are now Level 6! **

[chrome furnace]

still looks like it yeah

[rain otter]

What does your current code look like?

[chrome furnace]

local min = -10 
local max = 10
local Rigidness = 2.3 
local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rootpart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local head = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")
local CamPart = Instance.new("Part")

CamPart.CanCollide = false
CamPart.Anchored = true
CamPart.Position = head.Position
CamPart.FrontSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Motor
CamPart.Shape = Enum.PartType.Ball
CamPart.Size = Vector3.new(3,3,3)
local pos
game["Run Service"]:BindToRenderStep("CameraLerp", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value + 1, function(dt)
    if CamPart.Position.Magnitude > 10000 or CamPart.Position.Magnitude < -10000 then
        CamPart.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
    end
    pos = head.Position
    CamPart.Position = CamPart.Position:Lerp(pos,Rigidness*(dt*10))
    CamPart.CFrame = CamPart.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.lookAt(CamPart.Position,head.Position),Rigidness*(dt*10))
    local calc = (rootpart.CFrame+Vector3.new(0,1.1,0)):Inverse() * (CamPart.Position)
    workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:Lerp(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.lookAt(workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Position,head.Position),Rigidness/(Rigidness*10)),Rigidness/(Rigidness*10))
    humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(math.clamp(calc.X,min,max),math.clamp(calc.Y,min,max),math.clamp(calc.Z,min,max))

end)

This script doesn't manage the camera's movement, only the rotation

[chrome furnace]

should i be managing the movement also?

[rain otter]

You should have all of your code that changes the camera cframe running after all other stuff using the event I sent in the first place

[chrome furnace]

i just want the movement to look something like this, but only the stuttering is the issue i think

[chrome furnace]

oh okay

thanks for the help

[rain otter]

Try having a part that lerp to your player's torso/HRP

and putting the camera's subject to this part

Should be simpler this way

[chrome furnace]

its still choppy looking for some reason

[chrome furnace]

something like this?

and the camera position isnt where i want it

[rain otter]

Yeah but you make it more rigid and add a small piece of code that re-teleport the part closer to your distance limit in case it goes too far

[rain otter]

Offset it

[chrome furnace]

hm okay

i have

local Rigidness = 18

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local rootpart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Head")

local CameraTarget = Instance.new("Part")
CameraTarget.CanCollide = false
CameraTarget.Anchored = true
CameraTarget.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
CameraTarget.Position = rootpart.Position
CameraTarget.Parent = workspace
CameraTarget.Transparency = 1


workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = CameraTarget

game["Run Service"]:BindToRenderStep("CameraLerp", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value - 1, function(dt)
    CameraTarget.Position = CameraTarget.Position:Lerp(rootpart.Position, Rigidness * dt)
end)

but im still confused how its choppy?!

i really dont understand why

and when i use + 1 it still does nothing different

[rain otter]

Whatever I changed your approach. My guess is that the order of updating is wrong somewhere down the line or I'm missing something obvious.

local Rigidness = 10

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") :: Humanoid
local rootpart = script.Parent:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart") :: Part

local CameraTarget = Instance.new("Part")
CameraTarget.CanCollide = false
CameraTarget.Anchored = true
CameraTarget.Size = Vector3.new(1, 1, 1)
CameraTarget.Position = rootpart.Position
CameraTarget.Parent = workspace
CameraTarget.Transparency = 1

local a = Vector3.new()
function Lerp(a, b, t)
    return (1-t)*a + t*b
end
game["Run Service"].RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
    CameraTarget.Position = CameraTarget.Position:Lerp(rootpart.Position, math.clamp(Rigidness * dt, 0, 1))
    local Target = CameraTarget.Position - rootpart.Position
    
    a = Lerp(a, Target, math.clamp(dt / 0.05, 0, 1))
    humanoid.CameraOffset = rootpart.CFrame.Rotation:VectorToObjectSpace(a)
end)

CameraOffset sucks cause it's relative to humanoid's rotation. Best course of action would just to add the offset relative to world within a forked version of the default camera module.

Use RenderStepped

[chrome furnace]

thanks so much

it looks way smoother than it was
