Getting jittery movement as part reaches target

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

have a issue thats been bothering me past days and it is that the part movement gets stuttery/jittery as it goes in the else statement. I think its as im (the character) is moving and then because the animationPart speed is enough to keep reaching the goal target so it keeps switching between the 2 statements.

If the animationPart can’t keep up with the speed to reach its goal continuously then its very smooth and no issue at all

Problem is then the animationPart has speed to continuously reach its target while moving

Would appreciate any help on finding a solutions to this

Have you tried to use Lerp ?

local SMOOTHING_FACTOR = 0.5 -- Adjust this value between 0-1 (lower = smoother but slower)
local MINIMUM_DISTANCE = 0.01 -- Threshold to prevent micro-adjustments

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function(deltaTime)
    local targetCFrame = getTargetCFrame()
    local currentFrame = getCurrentCFrame()
    
    local distanceFromTargetCFrame = (targetCFrame.Position - currentFrame.Position).Magnitude
    
    if distanceFromTargetCFrame > MINIMUM_DISTANCE then
        local targetFrameDirection = (targetCFrame.Position - currentFrame.Position).Unit
        local moveDistance = math.min(distanceFromTargetCFrame, deltaTime * 25)
        
        local targetPosition = currentFrame.Position + (targetFrameDirection * moveDistance)
        local smoothedPosition = currentFrame.Position:Lerp(targetPosition, SMOOTHING_FACTOR)
        
        animationPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(smoothedPosition) * currentFrame.Rotation
    end
end)
