How do I make the camera tilt smoothly and stay on the player?

  1. What do I want to achieve?

I want to figure out how to make the camera tilt smoothly, probably with a tween, while also not being locked in place.

  1. What is the issue?

Every time I have attempted something like this the camera is either choppy, gets locked in place, or doesn’t work at all.

  1. What solutions have I tried so far?

I have tried solutions multiple times on this forum but none of them were what I was looking for.

I would like an example script that would show how to do this, I am not asking for an entire system I am just asking for, maybe a button press rotates the camera a little bit or something, I could just edit it from there, any and all help is appreciated, thanks.

When does the camera tilt? Are you talking about the camera wobble effect?

Ah, no, not that. When a button is pressed the camera would rotate (It doesn’t matter where since it could just be edited afterwards.), It doesn’t have to be on a button press, it should just be there’s a time where it’s tilted and not titled. It would not be a constantly moving thing, it would only move until the tween would finish

Then this would be very simple just get the CFrame of the camera then multiply it with CFrame.Angles, of course this would be connected to a loop.

Wouldn’t it just teleport to that rotation though? I also should have mentioned I would like to use easing styles.

You mean like this right?

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,Angle)
end)

Just increase the x, y or z of the CFrame.Angles.

So something like this?

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	Camera.CFrame += Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,Angle)
end)

And use an if check to see if it’s at a certain value (or higher) and stop it if it is?

#8

Yeah if you want to check what’s the orientation of the camera just use Camera.CFrame:ToOrientation() this should give you the x, y and z in radians.

#9

How would I replicate the effect of an easing style? (Quad and Back are the main ones I would like to use)

#10

Also wouldn’t this lock the camera in place?

#11

TweenService. TweenService.Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(), {CFrame = NewCFrame}).

No since we are multiplying it by the current CFrame.

#12

I think that might overlap with the runservice but I’ll try it.

#13

Do I put the tween inside the runservice?

#14

Of course you define it outside the connection so you only get the reference/service once.

#15

Oh ok I thought you would put it in, I thought that might have been the problem this whole time lol

#16

Ok so right now it does not move the camera at all, the angle is just a test number right now

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local TS = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Tilting = false
local Cooldown = false
local Camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera


UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(i,g)
	if i.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not g and Cooldown == false then
		Cooldown = true
		delay(2,function()
			Cooldown = false
		end)
		if Tilting == true then
			TS:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut), {CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,100,0)})
		elseif Tilting == false then
			TS:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(1, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut), {CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,0,0)})
		end
		Tilting = not Tilting
	end
end)
game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	if Tilting == true then
		Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,100,0)
	end
end)

If I remove the ToOrientation check, I spin around constantly (In first person).

#17

Angles requires a number in radians or from -pi(3.14…) to pi(3.14…) so it would be math.rad(100) 100 is the degree you want to multiply it with.

#18

Ok. Is there a way to stop the camera from constantly spinning (But have it still rotating)

#19 
local Connection

Button:OnClick(function()
    if Toggle then
        Connection:Disconnect()
    else
        Connection = Heartbeat:Connect(...)
    end
end)
#20

Isn’t this just what the “Tilting” Value does?

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if Tilting == true then
		Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0,math.rad(10),0)
	end
end)
