Forced shiftlock script

[McCheese6896 (McCheese)]

1. What do you want to achieve?
   What I am trying to achieve is a camera system similar to the game Centura (A war game). See attached video below. Any help will be greatly appreciated as for I am a rookie to scripting and have used a script made by somebody else. Thank you for your time.

2. What is the issue?
   The only issue is that if you rotate too fast while in a side view, the character looks like it is lagging. The video below shows what I currently have developed.

3. What solutions have you tried so far?
   I have tired doing a while loop but that only made it worse, I have no clue how to fix it. It is probably rotating odd because it is a side view and not centered, I have no idea how to make it better.

this is my code (well not really, I modified somebody else’s code)

--Local script in StarterPlayerCharacter
--Services:
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
--Variables:
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local root = hum.RootPart -- The HumanoidRootPart

local shiftlockenabled = -1 --negative values mean disabled

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl or input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.RightControl then
		shiftlockenabled = shiftlockenabled * -1
		
		if shiftlockenabled == -1 then
			shiftLock(true)-- shiftlock on
		elseif shiftlockenabled == 1 then
			shiftLock(false)--shiftlock off
		end
		
	end
end)

--Toggle Function:
function shiftLock(active) --Toggle shift.lock function
	if active then		
		hum.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(1.75,0,0) -- I assume this is about the right camera offset.
		hum.AutoRotate = false --Disable the automatic rotation since we are the ones setting it.

		RunService:BindToRenderStep("ShiftLock", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value, function()
			UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter --Set the mouse to center every frame.

			local _, y = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Rotation:ToEulerAnglesYXZ() --Get the angles of the camera
			root.CFrame = CFrame.new(root.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0,y,0) --Set the root part to the camera's rotation
			
		end) 
	else
		RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("ShiftLock") -- Allow mouse to move freely.
		UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default -- Let the mouse move freely
		hum.AutoRotate = true --Let the humanoid handle the camera rotations again.
	end
end
--Disable and Enable:
shiftLock(true) -- Toggle shift lock
--[[
shiftLock(false) --Toggle off shift Lock
]]

Thanks!

Hey, the issue you’re facing is probably because you’re rotating the character directly with CFrame, which instantly snaps it to the new rotation. If you want smoother, more natural motion, you should try using CFrame:Lerp

local lerpSpeed = 0.15

RunService:BindToRenderStep("SmoothRotation", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value, function()
    local _, y = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame.Rotation:ToEulerAnglesYXZ() 
    local targetCFrame = CFrame.new(root.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, y, 0)

    root.CFrame = root.CFrame:Lerp(targetCFrame, lerpSpeed)
end)

try this

Thank you so much! It works perfectly!
