How would I offset the camera with rotation?

[TruestBlu]

I want to create a recoil system but I need to figure out how to offset the camera with rotation.
Something like CS:GO or Rust.

[pyxfluff (Pyx)]

I dont know what you mean.

local Cam = game.Workspace

cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
cam.CameraSubject = workspace.Part

part.Rotation += 50

Something like this?

So, which part is about rotating a camera with a number without it stacking up?

[TruestBlu]

I’m trying to make a recoil system like CSGO (where the camera goes back down after a bit)
and I don’t know how to do it.

I would suggest using springs for this, BlackShibe’s fps framework 2020 uses his spring module

This is my first tutorial here! Point out any errors in the code, please. I might have missed something. 0. Quick info 0.1 I have made many past attempts at making pew pew guns on roblox in the past, and i thought i’d share some of the “basic” process for beginners here. Keep in mind none of this needs to be the way it is here, feel free to use your own methods. 0.2 This article covers the very basics on setting up a working gun, making it aim (and how to make it easy to add other thin…

Look through that when he makes gun sway, the usage for the spring module is explained in the article above.

I would suggest making a RenderStepped bind and do

local Recoil = CamSpring:update(dt)--<<deltatime is the only thing passed into RenderStepped 
game.Workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame *= CFrame.Angles(Recoil.X, Recoil.Y, Recoil.Z)

Couldnt you just play an animation instead of offset the camera?

[TruestBlu]

No, I want the camera to move without animations since animations are only set in one way it won’t be the same as making it procedurally.

Here is a function I made for you that works for models, baseparts or any PVInstance (Have a location in the world) and also respects the new pivot feature!

local function offsetObjectRotation(object : PVInstance | Camera, rotationOffsetXYZ : Vector3)
	if object:IsA("PVInstance") then
		local oldCFrame = object:GetPivot()
		local newCFrame =  oldCFrame * CFrame.Angles(rotationOffsetXYZ.X, rotationOffsetXYZ.Y, rotationOffsetXYZ.Z)

		object:PivotTo(newCFrame)
	elseif object:IsA("Camera") then
		local oldCFrame = object.CFrame
		local newCFrame =  oldCFrame * CFrame.Angles(rotationOffsetXYZ.X, rotationOffsetXYZ.Y, rotationOffsetXYZ.Z)

		object.CFrame = newCFrame
	else
		error("Cannot rotate the object of class name "..object.ClassName)
	end
end

Here is an example on how to use it
The following code offset the rotation of it’s parent part by 45 degrees along the local X axis of the object.

offsetObjectRotation(script.Parent, Vector3.new(math.rad(45), 0, 0))

Enjoy!

That’s cool but, how would it work on the camera?

The camera doesn’t have a pivot unless I stand corrected

[XRHTech (MistiikDev)]

local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera .CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

function Recoil()
    camera.CFrame = camera.CFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.Angles(math.rad(0.05), math.rad(0.1), 0) 
end 

You will prob need to change values since i put random numbers, put thats how I would do some recoil

[PostVivic (Vivic)]

If you want it to be smooth recoil instead of jittery recoil springs would be the way to go.

Edit: they require a bit more implementation but i think its worth it

[IlyasTawawe]

offsetObjectRotation(camera, Vector3.new(angleX, angleY, angleZ))

If you need more information, let me know!

[TruestBlu]

Ohhhh okay thanks I’ll try that out

[TruestBlu]

As I thought, the camera doesn’t have a pivot

[XRHTech (MistiikDev)]

I think thats because camera isnt a BasePart

[IlyasTawawe]

Alright, let me fix that, didn’t know that the camera doesn’t have a PVInstance

[TruestBlu]

I’ve replaced them with cframe so hopefully it’ll work

[IlyasTawawe]

I edited my post, try it out @TruestBlu

[TruestBlu]

Okay so I want the camera to move correspondingly to a number, lets say hmmm it’s 4. When that number goes down I also want the camera to move down with it and vice versa.
