Ever tried to make a smooth camera tween that just becomes too complicated? Well, this plugin is for you! It’s made to record you camera’s movement, and give you the ability to play it back.
How It Works
When you click the icon, it immediately starts recording your studio’s camera’s position, so start moving!
It’ll create multiple ModuleScripts, due to plugins limited to setting a maximum of around 200,000 characters for each script. Each Data Module returns a list of CFrames, which then the main module sews them together, and plays them back
Example of the source of one of the Data Modules
Get Started
Install the plugin, you’ll see a new icon popup
The icon’s still being moderated, so please be patient
Click it, and there should be a gray background to it,
Start moving, the script’s recording your camera at 60 FPS!
Once your done moving around your builds, Look in game.ReplicatedStorage, there should be a new ModuleScript there, named CameraAnimation.
Playing It Back
I expect you to read Get Started, before you read this.
To play it back, simply run this in the studio’s command bar, or in a localscript. If you moved the ModuleScript, change the path in this sniplet
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
require(game.ReplicatedStorage.CameraAnimation).Start();
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
