How do I add camera shake when an entity is near by?

[Xatiuqe]

Hi, I’m trying to add an effect were the camera would shake when an entity passes by, may someone assist me please?

• Create yourself a debounce of distance and true/false.
• Make a loop to check if the magnitude of any entity is lower than the distance.
  • If so, it’ll shake the players screen with camera offset and math.random(-1,1).
  • If not, it’ll continue to check until an entity is near.

Code:

This is just an example so it won’t benefit your game. Change variables and stuff for your game.

local deb = false -- Debounce (Switch)

local maxDistance = 50 -- Distance threshold

function Check() -- Returns true if entity is near
    for _, npc in pairs(NPCFolder:GetChildren()) do
        if (npc.PrimaryPart.Position - game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.Position).Magnitude <= maxDistance then
            return true
        end
    end
    return false
end

while task.wait() do
     if Check() then -- If entity is near it'll mark as true
         local x = math.random(-100,100)/100
         local y = math.random(-100,100)/100
         local z = math.random(-100,100)/100
         game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(x,y,z)math.random(-1, 1) -- Shakes screen randomly
     else
         game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.CameraOffset = Vector3.new(0,0,0) -- Resets camera
     end    
end

-- //StarterCharacterScripts\\
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService") -- A service used to make something happen each frame, etc.
local MaxDist = 50 -- Change it to whatever
local Speed = 0.004 -- The frequency of the shakes.
local Intensity = 10 -- The amount of intensity in the shake
local Humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid") -- The players humanoid.
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function() -- Runs a event each frame depending on the fps of the user.
    local EntityPosToPlayer = (game.Workspace.Entity.Position - script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position).Magnitude -- Change the entity to your entity
	if EntityPosToPlayer < MaxDist then -- Checks if the player isn't too far
		local X = math.cos(os.clock() * 30) * 0.01 -- The cosine will return a number between 1 and -1, it also will return a value in a up and down manner, therefore a infinite value going up like os.clock would be useful
		local Y = math.sin(os.clock() * 10) * Speed -- Same explanation as the cosine one.
		workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(X,Y,0)
