Anybody good with ViewportFrames on Roblox?

[dudezwithattitudez]

hey!

so what im trying to do is make a system similar to Undertale
im trying to put the character and all the stuff inside of workspace inside of a ViewportFrame
Well, I happened to do tha well, but here’s the problem…

???

heres the script for it:

local viewportFrame = script.Parent 
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.Parent = viewportFrame
viewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera

camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 10, 0), Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)) 
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local function updateViewport()
	for _, child in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
		if child:IsA("BasePart") or child:IsA("Model") and not child:IsA('Terrain') then
			local clone = child:Clone()
			clone.Parent = viewportFrame
		end
	end
end

updateViewport()

workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(updateViewport)
workspace.DescendantRemoving:Connect(updateViewport)

everything isn’t loading correctly, and i dont know why. Is there any fix to this weird error? If so, please let me know, If your good at ViewportFrames, of course

As I know, viewportframe renders anything in low quality.
but you can try:

• changing Ambient property. Maybe this could be too dark.
• putting skybox as child of that viewportframe

  This object can use a Sky child as a cubemap for reflections, in which case only the Sky object’s six Skybox[…] properties are used. Assuming these properties are valid, lighting inside the ViewportFrame acts similarly to if Lighting.EnvironmentSpecularScale and Lighting.EnvironmentDiffuseScale are both set to 1

if you need more information, check this and this.

Characters can’t be cloned by default, if that’s what you mean by it loading incorrectly.

Set Archivable on the Player’s Character to true before you clone it. It’s a one line fix above where you clone:

child.Archivable = true
local clone = child:Clone()
...

It’s one of those weird quirks with studio that made sense forever ago but doesn’t now.

so…

with the both of you guy’s help, I was able to load all of the contents inside of workspace, with this edited version of the script here (incase yall r curious):

local plr = game:GetService('Players').LocalPlayer
repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
local chr = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
chr.Archivable = true

local viewportFrame = script.Parent 
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.Parent = viewportFrame
viewportFrame.CurrentCamera = camera

camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(0, 10, 0), Vector3.new(0, 0, 0)) 
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

local function updateViewport()
	repeat wait() until game:IsLoaded()
	for _, child in pairs(workspace:GetChildren()) do
		if child:IsA("Part") or child:IsA("Model") or child:IsA("UnionOperation") or child:IsA("Folder") and not child:IsA('Terrain') and child ~= nil then
			child.Archivable = true
			local clone = child
			task.wait()
			clone.Parent = viewportFrame.WorldModel
		end
	end
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
		for _, child in pairs(workspace:GetDescendants()) do
			if child:IsA("Part") or child:IsA("Model") and not child:IsA('Terrain') and child ~= nil then
				child.Archivable = true
				local clone = child
				task.wait()
				clone.Parent = viewportFrame.WorldModel
			end
		end
	end))
end

workspace.DescendantAdded:Connect(updateViewport)
workspace.DescendantRemoving:Connect(updateViewport)

Thank you! now all I need to do now is make the player move inside of the viewportframe, if possible (ima probably need to read the ViewportFrames document again lol) and then boom!
