Custom camera movement acting strangely

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

Hi!
I’ve made a custom camera movement for my new game that works good, until I wanna turn the camera. When that happens the movement is inverted and not smooth.

I will provide footage of it working properly and it not working properly.

WORKING SCRIPT

Mouse.Move:Connect(function(input)
		local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit.Position
		
		local cameraCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DefaultPosition").Position, MousePosition)
		local X, Y, Z = cameraCFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
		local maxRotation = math.rad(20)
		
		local newRotation = Vector3.new(
			math.clamp(X, -maxRotation, maxRotation),
			math.clamp(Y, -maxRotation, maxRotation),
			0
		)
		newRotation = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(newRotation.X, newRotation.Y, newRotation.Z) 
		local finalCFrame = newRotation + ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DefaultPosition").Position 
		
		local Tween = TweenService:Create(self.Camera, TweenInfo.new(0.4), {CFrame = finalCFrame})
		Tween:Play()
	end)

WHEN I TRY TO TURN IT

THE NOT WORKING SCRIPT

Mouse.Move:Connect(function(input)
		local MousePosition = Mouse.Hit.Position
		
		local cameraCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DefaultPosition").Position, MousePosition)
		local X, Y, Z = cameraCFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
		local maxRotation = math.rad(20)
		
		local newRotation = Vector3.new(
			math.clamp(X, -maxRotation, maxRotation),
			math.clamp(Y, -maxRotation, maxRotation),
			0
		)
		newRotation = CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(newRotation.X, newRotation.Y, newRotation.Z) 
		local finalCFrame = (newRotation + ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("DefaultPosition").Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0) 
		
		local Tween = TweenService:Create(self.Camera, TweenInfo.new(0.4), {CFrame = finalCFrame})
		Tween:Play()
	end)

I basically want to turn the camera without the movement breaking.
Thanks for any help!

Don’t use tween for camera movement. Instead, use CFrame:Lerp()

This is irrelevant to my issue

My bad entirely, didn’t read the text thorougly. I thought it was that it was being slow and unresponsive.

You added in the second script:
CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(180), 0) on local finalCFrame

#6

This bit right here is not going to work. You’re clamping the camera to +/- 20 degrees rotation on the y-axis from an identity orientation in world space.

This is not the same as:
math.clamp(Y, centerY-maxRotation, centerY+maxRotation)

where centerY would be the Y-axis angle from the camera’s initial look direction (i.e. the middle position)

What ease are you using for the tweenInfo

This did turn it slightly but did broke the movement again.
I used

local centerY = math.rad(180)
math.clamp(Y, centerY-maxRotation, centerY+maxRotation)
