Viewport Frame Objects look choppy

I’m making a shop where you can buy kill sounds, but the issue is that the rotating parts look extremely choppy…

How do I fix this?

local list = script.Parent

while task.wait() do
	if #list:GetChildren() ~= 0 then
		for i, v in pairs(list:GetChildren()) do
			if v:IsA("ImageButton") and v.ViewportFrame.ViewportPart.FrontFace:IsA("Decal") then
				v:WaitForChild("ViewportFrame"):WaitForChild("ViewportPart").CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, 0.05, 0)
			end
		end
	end
end

task.wait() could be the reason why the rotation looks choppy. I’d recommend using RunService.RenderStepped to rotate the part, like this:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local part = script.Parent

-- Creates renderstepped loop and rotates the part at 5 studs a second
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(dt)
	part.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, 5 * dt, 0)
end)

The dt variable makes sure the part rotates consistently at different fps. Hope this helps!

Increase your graphics quality, and it will run smooth.
It happens if you have low graphics quality, due to performance issue.

Also I suggest you to use RunService instead.

local list = script.Parent
local speed = 2

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(delta)
    if #list:GetChildren() ~= 0 then
        for i, v in pairs(list:GetChildren()) do
            if v:IsA("ImageButton") and v.ViewportFrame.ViewportPart.FrontFace:IsA("Decal") then
                v:WaitForChild("ViewportPart").CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(0, delta*speed, 0)
            end
        end
    end
end)

Bit Insane for my game standards, but I can understand why.

Will Run Service give it any type of boost? And I’m asking this considering my game Is quite literally a game where you break everything.

It basically makes no difference. Both task.wait and .Renderstepped will run every single frame, just in different chronological order.

Instead of using a continuous loop to rotate the CFrame, I recommend utilizing tweens for smooth rotations.
