Earlier today in studio I suddenly noticed a very significant animation glitch happening while reloading and moving in my game. It was not happening earlier in the day in studio.
Through my attempts at debugging what was happening w/ the animation, I did not find any animation priority issue or unexpected animations playing.
What’s wild is that is that I then discovered that it is now happening in my published game where I haven’t touched the code in over a week… In fact, I restore backups of my game from over a year ago and found the glitch happening there too, which with 100% certainty this glitching animation never happened before.
I suspect a possible roblox change has caused this due the above facts - is anyone else observing this as of today? Below is a video of the issue.
I managed to get a simple repro place showing the glitch - just using a roblox weapon + playing an animation while running (PRESS “R” while running to play the animation) will cause the glitch. Note: If the animation in the place file doesn’t play for you when pressing R, you may need to republish it yourself (or substitute an animation you own in for the animation ID as a test) animationGlitchRepro.rbxl (202.7 KB)
I believe I have narrowed down the glitch culprit to the outputs of this function suddenly being garbage (said function has worked w/o issue for years)
function ShoulderCamera:applyRootJointFix()
if self.rootJoint then
local translationScale = self.zoomState and Vector3.new(0.25, 0.25, 0.25) or Vector3.new(0.5, 0.5, 0.5)
local rotationScale = self.zoomState and 0.15 or 0.2
local rootRotation = self.rootJoint.Part0.CFrame - self.rootJoint.Part0.CFrame.Position
local rotation = self.rootJoint.Transform - self.rootJoint.Transform.Position
local yawRotation = CFrame.Angles(0, self.yaw, 0)
local leadRotation = rootRotation:toObjectSpace(yawRotation)
local rotationFix = self.rootRigAttach.CFrame
--**issue is newly introduced in below output...but unclear what roblox recently changed here that would impact it??**
if self:isHumanoidControllable() then
rotationFix = self.rootJoint.Transform:inverse() * leadRotation * rotation:Lerp(CFrame.new(), 1 - rotationScale) + (self.rootJoint.Transform.Position * translationScale)
end
self.rootJoint.C0 = CFrame.new(self.rootJoint.C0.Position, self.rootJoint.C0.Position + rotationFix.LookVector.Unit)--]]
end
end
