Need smol help with my custom camera stuff

[clear summit]

Hi! So recently I managed to do / or at least try to do custom camera stuff. It works fine but even tho I used lerp ( with deltatime so it syncs with user FPS ) in my renderstepped thingy it's kinda still jittery a little bit.
Is that something that can be fixed or just that's how it is? I also tried to search up internet but yeah didn't found anything that solves it fully.

[clear summit]

Yeah gotta record a shorter clip showing the issue hold up

[clear summit]

Here you go

[green drift]

i still cant watch videos

[clear summit]

duuh

[green drift]

my video graphics card are at an all time low

How do you update your camera? You don't have to give exact code, but like sum it up

[green drift]

whats the video about

[low shuttle]

2 steps ahead, can't promise I'll be useful

[green drift]

im curious ic ant watch it

huhuuuuu

[low shuttle]

it shows a little jitter every so often when moving around. It's slight but noticable.

like the camera jumps different amounts

[green drift]

ohh sooo just a "Realistic Camera Movement"

like a handheld camera type movement?

[low shuttle]

No like camera movement ain't smooth, but he want smooth

[clear summit]

Yeaa its a mess so not exactly sure how to sum it up

Kinda first time that I managed to touch custom camera stuff tbf

[low shuttle]

What's smoothedPos?

[clear summit]

Yea i don't exactly know why I did it like that but its just global variable thingy

[low shuttle]

But like what is it for? It's calculated outside of the RenderStepped so I want to make sure it isn't an issue

[clear summit]

Nope it isn't

And its also not the CheeseLib.getSettings("cam_smoothing") thingy since it just does FindFirstChilld for the number value and returns it so yea i dont think that yeilds stuff and without it its the same

[low shuttle]

why is Distance a value?

[clear summit]

Thats for scroll zoom

its a value because uh - honestly idk I was planning to just make it easily changeable by other scripts or something. But i dont think it affects stuff anyway tho

I'm looking at this part, because I think the camera movement isn't smooth, and smoothedPos is being used directly (but stored in a different variable?)

I think maybe if you enabled things one by one (perhaps making each section of code more clear with its purpose, like this part calculates tilt, this one yaw, this one lateral movement) you could see where it's coming from

So if it's just lateral movement, you'd only have that to focus on and make it smooth

[clear summit]

Upon further testing aka removing some stuff and replacing it and see if that works when using no lerps for the lookPos it is not jittery at all. So yeah smoothedPos = smoothedPos:Lerp(targetPos, 1 - math.exp(-smoothingSpeed * deltaTime)) this is definitely causing this as i suspected before - nothing kinda else

Changing RenderStepped to Stepped fixed the issue a little bit

yep that was it lol

sometimes it seems that it still has some hiccups but it may be just studio doing its things
