How to make this camera smoothly around this map?

[Techno_Blazes (chiz)]

I’m trying to do a cutscene where the camera goes through the cave and see the monster. It works but I want it to look more smooth. Here’s a video.

first part of the vid lags but u see the cutscene still.

This is the script too.

cutremotes.MudgrimBreakIn.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local ti1 = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0)
	local ti2 = TweenInfo.new(3, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0)
	local ti3 = TweenInfo.new(2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0)
	local ti4 = TweenInfo.new(6, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut, 0)

	local goal1 = {CFrame = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam1.CFrame}
	local goal2 = {CFrame = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam2.CFrame}
	local goal3 = {CFrame = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam3.CFrame}
	local goal4 = {CFrame = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam4.CFrame}
	goal4.FieldOfView = 45

	local animation1 = ts:Create(Camera, ti1, goal1)
	local animation2 = ts:Create(Camera, ti2, goal2)
	local animation3 = ts:Create(Camera, ti3, goal3)
	local animation4 = ts:Create(Camera, ti4, goal4)

	Player.Character.SprintScript.Enabled = false
	script.Parent.MainUI.Enabled = false

	Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"

	animation1:Play()
	wait(2)
	animation2:Play()
	wait(3)
	animation3:Play()
	wait(2)
	animation4:Play()
end)

You’re probably looking for splines. It’s when you create a smooth path from multiple points. You can use it for the camera by putting points all across the map. There’s a lot of math involved, but there’s plenty of community modules available.

Spline (mathematics)

Here’s one module I found:

SimpleSpline (V1.1)

[image (1)] SimpleSpline is a open source module that creates spline objects easily by using CatRom This module works by creating a spline based on the points you pass through Example Usage local Points = {CFrame.new(0,0,0), CFrame.new(0,5,20), CFrame.new(24,0,40)} local Spline = SimpleSpline.new(Points, 0.5, 0) Spline:SetOptions({ Uniform = true, Offset = CFrame.new(), Loop = true, Reverse = false }) Spline:Visualize() local Object = -- Your object to move along the …

This is kind of confusing for me, but I’ll try to understand it!

I’m confused on why you’re not just lerping the camera, or is there a specific reason on you using tweens

[Techno_Blazes (chiz)]

I use tweens cuz i dont know how to use lerps.

[ioane9996 (Knowiel)]

Lerping is basically the better version of tweens and if you use workspace.Camera:Lerp(Cframe, Time)
then it will make everything smoother. try to do this for now and reply back to me once you get a result

[Techno_Blazes (chiz)]

it says “attempt to call missing method ‘Lerp’ of table”

Camera.CFrame = CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam1.CFrame, 2)
	wait(2)
	Camera.CFrame = CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam2.CFrame, 3)
	wait(3)
	Camera.CFrame = CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam3.CFrame, 2)
	wait(2)
	Camera.CFrame = CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam4.CFrame, 6)

am i doing smth wrong

[ioane9996 (Knowiel)]

Try this

	task.wait(2)
	Camera.CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam2.CFrame, 3)
	task.wait(3)
	Camera.CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam3.CFrame, 2)
	task.wait(2)
	Camera.CFrame:Lerp(camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam4.CFrame, 6)```

[Techno_Blazes (chiz)]

theres no errors but it doesnt move the camera tho

[ioane9996 (Knowiel)]

Set the camera type to scriptable

[Techno_Blazes (chiz)]

it already at scriptable, like the camera no longer follows the player but js stays still

[ioane9996 (Knowiel)]

cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(workspace["Meshes/Turret"].CFrame, 3) 

try to do something like this

after a little tweaking it works thanks!

cutremotes.MudgrimBreakIn.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	local cam1 = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam1
	local cam2 = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam2
	local cam3 = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam3
	local cam4 = camfolder.MudgrimBreakIn.MGBreakInCam4
	local ti = TweenInfo.new(17, Enum.EasingStyle.Cubic, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut,0)
	local goal = {}
	goal.FieldOfView = 45
	local animation = ts:Create(Camera, ti, goal)

	-- Function to move the camera continuously without pauses
	local function moveCamera(fromCFrame, toCFrame, duration)
		local startTime = tick()
		local endTime = startTime + duration

		-- Continuously update the camera position using Lerp
		while tick() < endTime do
			local elapsed = tick() - startTime
			local alpha = math.clamp(elapsed / duration, 0, 1)
			Camera.CFrame = fromCFrame:Lerp(toCFrame, alpha)
			runService.Heartbeat:Wait() -- Wait for the next frame
		end

		-- Ensure the camera is exactly at the target CFrame when done
		Camera.CFrame = toCFrame
	end

	-- Disable player controls and UI
	Player.Character.SprintScript.Enabled = false
	script.Parent.MainUI.Enabled = false
	Player.PlayerGui.FPBodyScript.Enabled = false
	Camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"

	-- Perform the camera transitions with Lerp continuously
	animation:Play()
	moveCamera(Camera.CFrame, cam1.CFrame, 1)
	moveCamera(cam1.CFrame, cam2.CFrame, 2)
	moveCamera(cam2.CFrame, cam3.CFrame, 0.5)
	moveCamera(cam3.CFrame, cam4.CFrame, 6)
end)
