Hey folks,
I was working on an Over-The-Shoulder Gun system for a game I work on, when I came across the problem of resetting the character’s camera (Through animating w/ lerp). Let me explain:
This is where the camera is positioned when you are aiming down a sight,
It’s a little offset, I’ll include the values below.
local CameraOffset = Vector3.new(2,1,8)
Mouse.Button2Down:Connect(function()
if Equipped == false or Reloading == true or Aiming == true then return end
Aiming = true
local Humanoid = SelfPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local HumanoidRootPart = SelfPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {FieldOfView = OriginFieldOfView - 30})
Tween:Play()
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
RunService:BindToRenderStep("OTS", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
local StartingCFrame = CFrame.new((HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0,2,0))) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(CameraAngleX), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(CameraAngleY), 0 ,0)
local CameraCFrame = StartingCFrame + StartingCFrame:VectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(CameraOffset.X, CameraOffset.Y, CameraOffset.Z))
local CameraFocus = StartingCFrame + StartingCFrame:VectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(CameraOffset.X, CameraOffset.Y, -50000))
if Initial == false then
Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame:Lerp(CFrame.new(CameraCFrame.p, CameraFocus.p), 0.4)
if OtherDebounce2 == false then
OtherDebounce2 = true
spawn(function()
wait(0.4)
Initial = true
end)
end
else
print("h")
UserInputService.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
Camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(CameraCFrame.p, CameraFocus.p)
HumanoidRootPart.CFrame = CFrame.new(HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p, HumanoidRootPart.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(Camera.CFrame.LookVector.X, 0, Camera.CFrame.LookVector.Z))
ConnectionAlpha = Mouse.WheelForward:Connect(function()
if CameraOffset.Z > 1 then
CameraOffset = Vector3.new(CameraOffset.X, CameraOffset.Y, CameraOffset.Z - 1)
end
end)
ConnectionBeta = Mouse.WheelBackward:Connect(function()
if CameraOffset.Z < 9 then
CameraOffset = Vector3.new(CameraOffset.X, CameraOffset.Y, CameraOffset.Z + 1)
end
end)
ContextActionService:BindAction("CameraMovement", function(_,_,Input)
CameraAngleX = CameraAngleX - Input.Delta.x * 0.4
CameraAngleY = math.clamp(CameraAngleY - Input.Delta.y * 0.4, -65, 65)
end, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement)
end
end)
end)
However, the problem lies in actually resetting the camera to the character. Right now, if I were to stop aiming, my camera would show up like this:
Then when I unequip it, it ends up like this:
Follows my character’s head completely instead of making it the free-moving camera it usually is.
Here are both the unequip and the stop aiming event blocks:
Mouse.Button2Up:Connect(function()
if Equipped == false or Reloading == true or Aiming == false then return end
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {FieldOfView = OriginFieldOfView})
Tween:Play()
RunService:BindToRenderStep("FixCamera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame:Lerp(SelfPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame, 0.4)
if Camera.CFrame == SelfPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame then
RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("FixCamera")
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
Camera.CameraSubject = SelfPlayer.Character.Humanoid
end
end)
Initial = false
if ConnectionAlpha then
ConnectionAlpha:Disconnect()
end
if ConnectionBeta then
ConnectionBeta:Disconnect()
end
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("CameraMovement")
RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("OTS")
Aiming = false
end)
Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
Equipped = false
Firing = false
Reloading = false
Aiming = false
ClearGunAnimations()
local Tween = TweenService:Create(Camera, TweenInfo.new(0.4, Enum.EasingStyle.Quint, Enum.EasingDirection.Out), {FieldOfView = OriginFieldOfView})
Tween:Play()
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
RunService:BindToRenderStep("FixCamera", Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value, function()
Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame:Lerp(SelfPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame, 0.4)
if Camera.CFrame == SelfPlayer.Character.Head.CFrame then
RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("FixCamera")
Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
Camera.CameraSubject = SelfPlayer.Character.Humanoid
end
end)
Initial = false
if ConnectionAlpha then
ConnectionAlpha:Disconnect()
end
if ConnectionBeta then
ConnectionBeta:Disconnect()
end
ContextActionService:UnbindAction("CameraMovement")
RunService:UnbindFromRenderStep("OTS")
Aiming = false
GunModel.Parent = Tool
AmmoGui.Parent = Folder
ReplicatedStorage.DisconnectM6D:FireServer()
end)
I’m really confused where I went wrong. It may just be that I’m tired, but does anyone have an idea?
