How would i make this camera script smoother

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Working on some camera system, kinda like fortnite STW’s camera system where its angled over a map and you can select missions and whatnot.

I’ve created a base for it, but it feels choppy.
Also the “controls” feels very wonky

Couldn’t get a answer for this so just made it normal directions Make camera movement diagonal

Code

-- Variables
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local uis = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Ts = game:GetService("TweenService")

-- math and stuff --
local clamp = math.clamp
local cfa = CFrame.Angles
local rad = math.rad
local cfn = CFrame.new
local v3n = Vector3.new
--                --

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local IsHeldDown = false

local Debug = true

local View = 25
local MinView = 10
local MaxView = 50

local DownCF = CFrame.Angles(0,rad(-90),0) * CFrame.Angles(rad(-45),0,0) 
local CurrentPos = v3n(0,0,0)
local Connection1
local Connection2

local part1 = Instance.new("Part", workspace); part1.Anchored = true; part1.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1); part1.CanCollide = false; part1.CanQuery = false; part1.CanTouch = false
local part2 = part1:Clone(); part2.Parent = workspace
local part3 = part1:Clone(); part3.Parent = workspace

part1.Transparency = 0.8; part2.Transparency = 0.8; part3.Transparency = 0.8;
part1.Color = Color3.new(1,0,0); part2.Color = Color3.new(0,1,0); part3.Color = Color3.new(0,0,1)

-- Functions
local function Main()
	Connection1 = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
		local tH = (clamp(View,MinView,MaxView))/5
		local mP = mouse.Hit.Position
		
		local CamCFrame = cfn(v3n(CurrentPos.X, CurrentPos.Y + clamp(View, MinView, MaxView), CurrentPos.Z)) * DownCF
		
		if IsHeldDown then
			local MD = uis:GetMouseDelta()
			CamCFrame += v3n(MD.Y*.25,0,MD.X*.25)
			CurrentPos += v3n(MD.Y*.25,0,MD.X*.25)
		end

		if Debug then
			part1.Position = mP
			part2.Position = CurrentPos
			part3.Position = CamCFrame.Position - v3n(0, clamp(View, MinView, MaxView), 0)
		end
		
		Ts:Create(camera, TweenInfo.new(.2, Enum.EasingStyle.Quad,	Enum.EasingDirection.Out),{CFrame = CamCFrame}):Play()
	end)
end

local function Main2()
	coroutine.resume(coroutine.create(function()
		Connection2 = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
			if IsHeldDown then
				uis.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCurrentPosition
			else
				uis.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default
			end
		end)
	end))
end

-- Main
wait(2)
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

mouse.WheelForward:Connect(function() 
	View = clamp((View - 4), 10, 50)
end)

mouse.WheelBackward:Connect(function()
	View = clamp((View + 4), 10, 50)
end)

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		IsHeldDown = true
	end
end)

uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input)
	if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		IsHeldDown = false
	end
end)

How would i make the camera move in delay roblox

Can you send a video of what it looks like, or a .rbxm model file so we can try it for ourselves? Otherwise, don’t really know what the problem is.

#3

You can probably use RunService.RenderStepped as thats what people use to make camera bobbing or animations smooth instead of Choppy like Stepped and Heartbeat.

Edit: did not look at the script correctly

#4

You can use TweenService with a linear animation which is perfectly smooth instead of being choppy.

#5

Sorry for the long response time but heres a video

I already use tweenservice, it just feels choppy with it for some reason

Also the movement feels horrible, could just be me though
CamTest.rbxl (29.0 KB)

#6

Aha my bad, didn’t read the code properly :+1:

#7

Honestly, looks fine to me. Not sure what you want it to look like though.

#8


Kinda as smooth as this

Also the movement feels just weird somehow
like theres something wrong with the movement and i just cant explain what

#9

The example you gave locks onto a specific part, so it just tweens the camera position there, you are moving the camera yourself. Also is this a local or a server script?
