Choppy OTS Camera Script

[RessyIsBored (ResoluteAyres)]

What I have is a functioning Over the Shoulder camera code for guns on my game, it fires when equipped since the whole game isnt supposed to be OTS, just the guns.

The main issue is the extremely choppy movement I am seeing, which is kinda a bad thing in this case since people need to be able to clearly see their target.

Code Locking the Camera

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function(TempMouse)
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Health >= 1 then -- prevents glitching when equipping gun after death
	script.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('Humanoid').CameraOffset = Vector3.new(camx, camy, camz)
	game.Players.LocalPlayer.CameraMode = Enum.CameraMode.LockFirstPerson
	end

-- blah blah extra code thats not relevant

Ive seen other ways to do this but none had the camera locked nor were implemented how I am trying to do so here, any help is greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hmm, try looking at this resource for tips with over the shoulder camera:

Over-The-Shoulder Camera System

What is it This module will help you set up a smooth and customizable over-the-shoulder camera system, which is quite popular in video games. You don’t need to know how to script to set this up, however, it also allows considerable customization for those who do know how to script. You can grab the ROBLOX model from here or read the source on GitHub from here. You can also test the basic system out at this place. How to use it? Getting started is very easy. Just insert the module script wher…

Seems like you need to lerp the camera’s rotation in order to make it smooth as the player’s movements are sporadic and choppy which happens to the camera as well since they are fixed to each other.

Edit: Also view the shoulder camera from the default Roblox battle Royale kit since it works fine:
