Applying new camera cframe every frame is wrecking my game

applying new camera cframe every frame is pausing gameplay and completely messing up my game
video:


code:

-- services
local run = game:GetService("RunService")

-- references
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local character = script.Parent
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

-- functions
local function update()
	if camera then -- camera exists
		if _G.cl_settings.flags["cameraLock"] and not _G.menuScreen then -- camera lock is enabled
			local zoom = ((root.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 0)) - camera.CFrame.Position).Magnitude -- how far the player has zoomed in
			local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(root.Position.X, root.Position.Y + 1.5 + zoom, root.Position.Z), root.Position)
			camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame -- apply camera fixed value
		end
	else -- camera reference does not exist
		camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- apply camera reference
	end
end

-- wait until settings have been loaded
repeat task.wait() until _G.cl_settings

-- update camera every frame
run.RenderStepped:Connect(update)

the _G values are controlled by other scripts, _G.cl_settings is the directory for the settings library i made, _G.cl_settings.flags is a table containing the values all settings, _G.menuScreen determains if the menuscreen seen in the start of the video is currently open.

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(func) - yeah its better than while true do but try this:

while true do 
   update()
   wait()
end

Maybe some perfomance issue when much while true do but maybe it will stop pause game

BUT
if you dont want to use that, try to add wait() or task.wait() on the end of update() function. Maybe it will help you some, if not try while true do. Maybe both won’t help you… but i tried

this is not a performance matter, as seen in the video below, it apparently kills me and makes me fall over for whatever reason.

Then im too weak for that script, but thanks for respond! Maybe you’ll fix it later, good luck

Heyya little guy, i got good news for you.
The problem in your script is Zoom value, idk how but its all problem.

i found solution, its use mouse.WheelForward/Backward and cusom zoom value


-- services
local run = game:GetService("RunService")

-- references
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local character = script.Parent
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

local mouse = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer:GetMouse()



local cameraLocked = true
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local menuScreen = false
-- functions

local zoom = 20

local function update()
	if camera then -- camera exists
		if cameraLocked == true and menuScreen == false then -- camera lock is enabled

			local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(root.Position.X, root.Position.Y + zoom, root.Position.Z), root.Position)
			
			camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame -- apply camera fixed value
		end
	else -- camera reference does not exist
		camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- apply camera reference
	end
end



mouse.WheelForward:Connect(function()
	if not (zoom < 8) then
		zoom -= 1
		print(zoom)
	else
		zoom = 8
	end
end)

mouse.WheelBackward:Connect(function()
	if not (zoom > 39) then
		zoom += 1
		print(zoom)
	else
		zoom = 39
	end
end)

-- wait until settings have been loaded
--repeat task.wait() until _G.cl_settings

-- update camera every frame
run.RenderStepped:Connect(update)

BUT
I found that if zoom value is 41 and greater, then problem is staying, im really dont know why.

My first hunch is that you’re using streaming enabled and you’re moving the camera out too far causing the issue? Just a guess though.

Try turning off streaming enabled, it doesn’t seem like a game that would benefit from streaming.

issue solved by a friend of mine, final code:

-- services
local run = game:GetService("RunService")

-- references
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local character = script.Parent
local root = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")

-- functions
local function update()
    if camera then -- camera exists
        local zoom = ((root.Position + Vector3.new(0, 1.5, 0)) - camera.CFrame.Position).Magnitude -- how far the player has zoomed in
        local cameraCFrame = CFrame.new(
            Vector3.new(
                root.Position.X,
                root.Position.Y + 1.5 + zoom, -- 1.5 is the distance between the root and the head
                root.Position.Z)
        )
        camera.CFrame = cameraCFrame * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(-90),0,0) -- apply camera fixed value
    else -- camera reference does not exist
        camera = workspace.CurrentCamera -- apply camera reference
    end
end

-- update camera every frame
run.RenderStepped:Connect(update)
