I’m trying to make a forced shift lock when you equip a tool:
local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tool = script.Parent
local equipped = false
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local shiftLockTweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(.25, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out)
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
if equipped == true then
local _, y = camera.CFrame.Rotation:ToEulerAnglesYXZ()
shiftLockTween = TweenService:Create(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart, shiftLockTweenInfo, {CFrame = CFrame.new(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0,y,0)})
shiftLockTween:Play()
end
end)
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
equipped = true
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
equipped = false
shiftLockTween:Cancel()
end)
The code works almost perfect although because the shiftLockTween also tweens the humanoidrootpart’s position it makes the player slower, trying to tween them back into a previous position.
Does anyone have any remedy for this?
Edit: Also I would rather not using some sort of module. Just this script alone.
Since you’re on RenderStepped, you can just set the CFrame manually, like this:
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime: number)
if equipped == true then
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.lookAlong(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(camera.CFrame.LookVector.X, 0, camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z))
end
end)
Note that this would make it so that your character would always face towards the camera direction, instantly.
If you want some smoothing involved, you could do this:
local function smoothLerp(variableA: any, variableB: any, fraction: number, deltaTime: number)
local f = 1.0 - math.pow(1.0 - fraction, deltaTime)
if (type(variableA) == "number") then
return ((1-f) * variableA) + (variableB * f)
end
return variableA:Lerp(variableB, f)
end
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime: number)
if equipped == true then
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame =
smoothLerp(
player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame,
CFrame.lookAlong(player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position, Vector3.new(camera.CFrame.LookVector.X, 0, camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z)),
0.95,
deltaTime
)
end
end)
--// Player Info
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local rootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local camera = game:GetService("Workspace").CurrentCamera
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local tool = script.Parent
--// Shift Lock Function
local function shiftLock(toggle)
local function lock()
local lookVector = camera.CFrame.LookVector
local rootPos = rootPart.Position; local distance = 900
--rootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(rootPos, lookVector * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) * distance)
shiftLockTween = tweenService:Create(rootPart, TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Exponential, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {CFrame = CFrame.new(rootPos, lookVector * Vector3.new(1, 0, 1) * distance)})
shiftLockTween:Play()
end
if toggle then
runService:BindToRenderStep("ShiftLock", 200, lock)
else
runService:UnbindFromRenderStep("ShiftLock")
end; humanoid.AutoRotate = not toggle
end -- enabling shift lock
tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
shiftLock(true)
end)
tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
shiftLock(false)
shiftLockTween:Cancel()
end)
