FPS unlockers and aiming

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Currently I’m using egomoose’s method for aiming a weapon.

	aimCount = aimCount + 1
	local current = aimCount
		for t = 0, 101, 10 do
			if current == aimCount then
				RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
				joint.C1 = start:Lerp(goal, t/100)
			end
		end

However, using RunService.RenderStepped:Wait(), I run into a problem with FPS unlockers, CFrame lerping is much more faster when FPS is uncapped.

You could make the lerp goal a separate system from your loop. So it’s not defendant of fps.

#3

What you can do is this:

Every loop call this:

local iter = (os.clock() % 1)*100
then replace t with iter

#4

To add to what @AC_Starmarine is getting at, RunService.RenderStepped:Wait() returns a value describing how long has past since the last frame. This can be used against some constant to determine where along the lerp you should be. Try something like this:

local LERP_TIME = 3	--A constant, in seconds. Can be whatever you want. Define at the highest reasonable scope.

aimCount = aimCount + 1
local current = aimCount
local current_time = 0	--How much time has passed since since the loop started.

while current == aimCount and current_time < LERP_TIME do
	current_time += RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()	--Adds last frame's time to the count.
	joint.C1 = start:Lerp(goal, math.max(current_time/LERP_TIME,1))	--math.max() ensures lerp never overshoots.
end
#5

But this just lerps joint.C1 instantaneously to joint.C0

	local offset = ViewModel_Tool.InvisParts.BodyAttach.CFrame:inverse() * ViewModel_Tool.InvisParts.Aim.CFrame
		
	local start = joint.C1
	local goal = aiming and joint.C0 * offset or CFrame.new()
	local LERP_TIME = 3

	aimCount = aimCount + 1
	local current = aimCount
	local current_time = 0
		
	while current == aimCount and current_time < LERP_TIME do
	    current_time += RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
	    joint.C1 = start:Lerp(goal,  math.max(current_time/LERP_TIME,1))
    end
#6

Could you elaborate on what you mean?
Currently this has the exact same results as the original code.

		aimCount = aimCount + 1
		local current = aimCount
		local iter = (os.clock() % 1)*100
			for iter = 0, 101, 10 do
				if current == aimCount then
					RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
					joint.C1 = start:Lerp(goal, iter/100)
				end
			end
#7

do it every iteration of the loop right before you set the joint cframe.

#8

I’m sorry but I’m gonna need you to explain what you mean.
Do what every iteration of the loop?

#9

put the iter variable script into the line before you set the cframe.

	aimCount = aimCount + 1
	local current = aimCount
		for t = 0, 101, 10 do
			if current == aimCount then
				RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()
                                local iter = (os.clock() % 1)*100
				joint.C1 = start:Lerp(goal, iter/100)
			end
		end

Except now it doesn’t properly lerp the cframe to its goal?

#11

Bumping the post, open for any answers

#12

You’re absolute right. I got my logic flipped on math.max. It should have been math.min so that it would use the lerped amount as long as it did not exceed 100%.
