Attempting to do a "sway" effect

[ignite_rock (Ignited)]

Hello, i’m trying to do a bounce effect when you move your mouse with an object

Just like this:

I have a spring module by Quenty that should help, but i can’t get the correct mouse delta.

Input.Delta only works when the camera is locked or moved by holding right click.

And i’m also not sure how to do it.

Delta describes the displacement between two vectors. You could tap into a RunService event and get the displacement of the mouse between two frames which would be your delta.

So is it like this?

local rs = game:GetService("RunService")

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local pos = uis:GetMouseLocation()

local lastPosition = pos

local delta = nil

rs.RenderStepped:Connect(function()

local newPosition = uis:GetMouseLocation()

delta = newPosition - lastPosition

lastPosition = newPosition

end)

Okay, if that’s somehow right, How would i make it bounce with a Spring module?

Yep an additional idea is, instead of using mouse delta to use the delta in the change of position of the tower.

That is also a delta you could use.

For a bounce with spring module you can convert it to terms of angular velocity and displacement like here:

It’s the same concept as an fps viewmodel sway, and there’s multiple methods about it, you might like the one from fps framework 2 which is simpler.

Spring Module but for CFrames

Here made something, cool to spring up your FPS view model: It’s a local script which uses Quenty’s spring module to add a spring effect to the otherwise static view model. Before spring: After Spring: Code, insert into your starterCharacter scripts as a local script and test it out. Values for the spring will need adjusting of course. –Edit: Here’s a better working version with the dampening actually working, messed up the previous CFrame calculation. Still have no …

What is the method “fps framework 2”?

Spring Module but for CFrames

Yeah I like the module because it uses os.clock() and cool metatable stuff. I think an easier way of doing this is to use the mouse delta to get the shoving force direction and magnitude instead of my overly complicated CFrame approach from this really neat FPS tutorial which I should have looked at earlier . -- Let's get some mouse movement! local mouseDelta = game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetMouseDelta() self.springs.sway:shove(Vector3.new(mouseDelta.x / 200,mo…
