Camera flick issue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So i’m making a camera that will look at the character in a certain position.

The problem is that when you go to the zone where the camera changes, camera flicks for 0.5 seconds. Does anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?

#2

can you provide your script?

			cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(goal, 0.25)
		end)

local function disableCustomCamera()

	if (isPlayerInCustomRoom()) then
		if (not customCameraEnabled) then
			enableCustomCamera()

				disableCustomCamera()
			end
		end
	end

full script, too lazy to cut off-topic stuff

Changing the camera type is what is causing the flick I’m pretty sure.

The camera gets changed to scriptable
The rotation and everything of the camera is reset due to cameratype being changed (The flick)
The CFrame logic sets the camera CFrame

It doesn’t show up when you change it back because roblox by default instantly converts it back to the set position, which wouldn’t cause the CFrame to revert then be set again

I think you could either use TweenService instead lerping OR
make it change the CFrame before and after changing the camera type maybe?

(I think it would work, I don’t know for sure)

Tweenservice helped. Thanks for the explanation
