How to Keep an egg in front of the Camera During Hatch Animations?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m working on an egg hatching system, and I’m having trouble with keeping the egg always in front of the camera while also adding tweens for the hatch animations. How would I do so?

I’ve tried a few different methods, and some almost worked, but the egg ends up lagging behind or positioned weirdly.

Any help is highly Appreciated. Thank you!!!

ViewportFrame | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub (evil method)
Bind function regarding position update to event “PreRender” of RunService | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

I’m not using viewport frames. I made a gridding function that positions them based on how many eggs there are.

The only way you’d be able to tween while relative to the camera would be using welds. I don’t think tweens will work very well.

W bro you are the real one for that :fire:
Makea function that moves egg regarding player’s camera to front
SO like

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local offset = CFrame.new(5,0,0)
local function UpdateCamera():()
egg.CFrame=camera.CFrame*offset
end
RunService.PreRender:Connect(UpdateCamera)
UpdateCamera()

What?
NO!
That a waste of perfomance :rage:
Make a raw math.lerp acording to delta of frame calculation like a real sigma instead

Ok? but i’m sure roblox is already sigma enough to implement that in tweenservice.

jokes aside…
Why the hell do you need a tween service when you work on a frame by frame operation?
CONSTRUCTING ENTIRE CLASS (INSTANCE) for that is insane bro :speaking_head::fire:

Because sometimes it’s more convenient?

Now that i think of it, tweenservice could easily be combined with bindtorenderstepped to achieve OP’s goal.

if im always changing the eggs cframe how will I add the animation tho :C

#13

You can layer the tween on top of the camera transformation. You need to adjust the camera priority in BindToRenderStepped.

make it relative to a Egg’s model then.
I don’t know how you want animation to be implemented tho
You can use Motor6D | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub for that
