How to make camera rotate left or right when player moves left or right

leekthug · January 5, 2021, 3:35pm

local runService = game:GetService(“RunService”)

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild(“Humanoid”)

function updateBobbleEffect()
local currentTime = tick()
if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then – we are walking
local bobbleX = math.cos(currentTime * 10) * .35
local bobbleY = math.abs(math.sin(currentTime * 10)) * .35

    local bobble = Vector3.new(bobbleX, bobbleY, 0)
    
    humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset:lerp(bobble, .25)
else -- we are not walking
    humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset * .75
end

end

runService.RenderStepped:Connect(updateBobbleEffect)

this script makes the camera shake when the player walks but if you change it, it wall do what you want.

How do i make when i hold Q or E then i pressed A or D the camera moves to left or right

im trying to make like 3DMG camera system

Please open a separate post for this.

mobile and console devices don’t have keyboards to detect keyboard input

jake_4543:

local camera = workspace.Camera

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()

local runService = game:GetService("RunService")

runService.RenderStepped:connect(function()
	local humanoid = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

	if humanoid then
		local a = false
		local x,y,z = camera.CFrame:ToEulerAnglesXYZ()
		if game:GetService("UserInputService"):IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.A) then
			a = true
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.Angles(x,y,z) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(2))
		end
		if game:GetService("UserInputService"):IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.D) then
			a = true
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.Angles(x,y,z) * CFrame.Angles(0,0,math.rad(-2))
		end
		if a == false then
			camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(camera.CFrame.Position) * CFrame.Angles(x,y,z)
		end
	end
end)

Do you know how you can make it smooth

Use :Lerp() to smoothly interpolate the CFrame

Sorry to bump this old post, but

How can you use :Lerp() to interpolate a camera’s CFrame? If you do a for loop, the camera will force you into that position until the for loop is done.

You could use game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetMouseDelta() to find the change in pixels with the mouse. That way you can add mobile support and change the tilt depending on the speed they move.

Something along the lines of this would fix that

local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
local cf = cam.CFrame
local setcf -- cframe value to lerp the cf variable to
local t = 0.2 -- how long the lerp interpolation is
local runservice = game:GetService("RunService")

runservice.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	cam.CFrame *= cf:Lerp(setcf, t)
end)

Basically it keeps the original CFrame of the camera, but also offsets it with the “cf” variable; which interpolates from one value to another.

Sorry if it doesn’t work it’s 2 am for me right now I’m bad at explaining things, but I hope this helps
