Bugs with follow camera in the playerscripts

The follow cam is activated by setting StarterPlayer.DevComputerCameraMovementMode and DevTouchCameraMovementMode

The scripts are the auto-inserted default ones


1) Follow cam becomes stuttery during slow left/right movement (stop/start/stop/start)

  • You can replicate this in any game by using a controller joystick, and not moving forward but just SLIGHTLY holding right.
    DO NOT USE RIGHT THUMBSTICK AT ALL DURING TEST to see what I mean.
  • alternatively, you can replicate on keyboard by going here https://www.roblox.com/games/4325681861/pillar-test
    and stepping on the walkspeed 3 changer for example, and just holding D.
  • in the playerscripts, thetaCutoff seems to be the culprit. Changing it from 0.4 to 0 seems to help. (Also helps with bug #2)

2) Follow cam does not follow when moving forward & only turning about 5 degrees.

  • Annoying when moving forward and slightly turning when moving fast OR slow.

3) Follow cam just absolutely breaks when moving a controller’s right stick.

  • It also creates a weird second controller dot icon

4) Follow cam does not pause when using left/right keyboard arrows to pan camera

  • This is also creating another stuttering bug (even more noticeable/jarring) when moving but holding a keyboard arrow
  • While panning with every other method does pause follow as it should
