Anyway to make a screenshaker into a function?

[Zevioneur (Chazy)]

Basically I want my screenshaker to become a function, on which it occurs when the function is mentioned, although since I have already tried this it hasn’t worked.

Along with the screenshaker, I want it to fade out after 5 seconds.

THE SCREENSHAKER:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local Xintensity = 20
local Yintensity = 20

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local x = math.random(-Xintensity, Xintensity)/100
	local y = math.random(-Yintensity, Yintensity)/100
	
	cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame * CFrame.new(x,y,0)
end)

Is it something like this? I know it looks a bit rough, perhaps you can refine it later, but for now it should hopefully do the trick. (Explanation in comments)

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer


local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera


local Xintensity = 20
local Yintensity = 20


local connection
local count = 0

local function screenShake()
	connection = game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		local x = math.random(-Xintensity, Xintensity)/100
		local y = math.random(-Yintensity, Yintensity)/100

		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame * CFrame.new(x,y,0)
		count += 1
		
		
		if count >= 300 then -- when count has reached 300 (random number idk) it will slowly fade
			Xintensity -= .2
			Yintensity -= .2
		end
		
		if Xintensity < .5 then -- Stops, resets values and disconnects from renderstepped before dividing by 0.
			connection:Disconnect()
			count = 0
			Xintensity = 20
			Yintensity = 20
		end
	end)
end

Edit* You can of course adjust values to fit your needs, the .2 for fade and 300 count were just randomly selected.

Here, I remade the script for you with customizable fade time and fade transition

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local ShakeintensityX = script.ShakeIntensityX
local ShakeintensityY = script.ShakeIntensityY


ShakeintensityX.Value = 20 --Set the number to the shake intensity you want
ShakeintensityY.Value = 20 --Set the number to the shake intensity you want


local function ScreenShaker(fadeTime)
	print("Shake started")
	
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		fadeTime,
		Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
		1, 
		false, 
		0 
	)


	local tweenX = TweenService:Create(ShakeintensityX, tweenInfo, {Value = 0}):Play()
	local tweenY = TweenService:Create(ShakeintensityY, tweenInfo, {Value = 0}):Play()
	
	local x
	local y
	
	local ShakeEffect = runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		local Xintensity = ShakeintensityX.Value
		local Yintensity = ShakeintensityY.Value
		
		if Xintensity > 0 then
			x = math.random(-Xintensity, Xintensity)/100
		else
			x = 0
		end
		if Yintensity > 0 then
			y = math.random(-Yintensity, Yintensity)/100
		else
			y = 0
		end

		cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame * CFrame.new(x,y,0)
		
	end)
	
	wait(fadeTime)
	
	ShakeEffect:Disconnect() --Stops the shake effect.
	print("Shake ended")
	
end

wait(5) --remove this is it's not needed

ScreenShaker(5) --When you call the function, set this number to how long you want the shake to last

Make sure to create two number values under the script, one named “ShakeIntensityX” and the other named “ShakeIntensityY” otherwise it won’t work.

Thank you both for helping me with my localscript, each of your localscripts are the solution, I just couldn’t select both of them as the solution.

Quick question, is there anyway to make the function fire by a remote in replicated storage? a script in the workspace should have some code in it which should fire a remote and trigger the localscript.

[NautyPotato (JAY)]

Yes, there is

Put this in both of the scripts

local RS = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Event = RS.Event --change this to your event

In the workspace script do this to trigger the event-

Event:FireClient( insert specific player here) 

Or if you want to fire all the players-

Event:FireAllClients()

In the shake effect script do-

Event.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
--Call the function here.
