Making cool camera rotation around player [SOLVED]

Using TweenService is smoother

local TweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local TweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Linear)
local TimesToSpin = 5


local function CreateTween(Rotation)
	return TweenService:Create(Camera, TweenInfo, {CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(Rotation), 0)})
end


local function Spin()
	local Tweens = {
		CreateTween(90),
		CreateTween(180),
		CreateTween(270),
		CreateTween(0)
	}
	
	for i = 1, TimesToSpin do
		for _, Tween in pairs(Tweens) do
			Tween:Play()
			Tween:Wait()
		end
	end
end

Spin()

It’s not working in my local script

Oh whoops it doesn’t rotate around the player. I’d just replace the task.wait(0.009) in your code to RunService.RenderStepped:Wait()

If you want the rotation speed to be consistent, then you’d have to lerp using delta time

Let see what it does with the RunService

I think lerping would be a nice way to make the rotation smoother I don’t know any other choice than lerping altough I don’t know how I would apply linear interpolation in my stuff

I changed the loop step and the end seems better than earlier

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")


local CanRebirth = true
local char = script.Parent
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if CanRebirth == true then
			CanRebirth = false

			local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=17055625443"

			local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			local YourAnimationTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

			YourAnimationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action2
			YourAnimationTrack:Play()

			--local characterCFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
			--Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

			for i = 5, 360, 5 do
				Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(i), 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)
				task.wait(0.1)
			end

			CanRebirth = true
		end
	end

	--wait(5)

Short script I came up with to rotate the camera around a CFrame with a speed, radius, and duration:

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local function rotate(rpm : number, radius : number, center : CFrame, duration : number)
	-- Does NOT yield!
	
	-- Getting start time + camera
	local start = tick()
	local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera
	
	-- Locking camera in place
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	
	-- Getting the starting angle for the camera
	local camLook = cam.CFrame.Position - center.Position
	local angle = math.atan2(camLook.Z, camLook.X)
	
	-- Calculating how much the camera should turn in one second
	local degreesPerSecond = math.pi * 2 * rpm
	
	-- Connecting to RunService for smoothness
	local rotateConnection
	rotateConnection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(deltaTime)
		if duration < tick() - start then
			
			-- Disconnect after a certain amount of time
			rotateConnection:Disconnect()
			cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
		else
			
			-- Rotate the angle, multiplying by deltaTime for consistent rotation speed
			-- on different FPS values
			angle = (angle + degreesPerSecond * deltaTime) % (math.pi * 2)
			
			-- Get new CFrame for camera
			local newCF = CFrame.lookAt(center.Position
				+ math.sin(angle) * Vector3.zAxis * radius
				+ math.cos(angle) * Vector3.xAxis * radius,
				center.Position)
			
			-- Move camera (using CFrame:Lerp for more smoothness)
			cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(newCF, 0.75)
		end
	end)
end

-- Testing the rotate function
rotate(1, 15, workspace.CurrentCamera.Focus, 5)

I think I came up with my own solution but I’ll check yours to see how I can improve mine

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")


local CanRebirth = true
local char = script.Parent
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if CanRebirth == true then
			CanRebirth = false

			local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			animation.AnimationId = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=17055625443"

			local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
			local YourAnimationTrack = humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(animation)

			YourAnimationTrack.Priority = Enum.AnimationPriority.Action2
			YourAnimationTrack:Play()

			--local characterCFrame = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame
			--Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable

			for j = 1, 95 do
				for i = 1, 2 do
					Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.fromEulerAnglesXYZ(0, i * .1, 0)
					wait()
				end
			end

			

			--[[for i = 5, 360, 5 do
				Camera.CFrame = Camera.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(i), 0) * CFrame.new(0, 0, -5)
				task.wait(0.1)
			end]]

			CanRebirth = true
		end
	end

	--wait(5)


end)

What if I want the camera to follow the player rebirth animation up and down ?

The main difference between our scripts is that mine uses RunService.RenderStepped, while yours uses wait() and a for loop.

wait()ing makes the camera not smooth (unless you use TweenService), since wait() can take more or less than a frame.

Doesn’t RenderStepped can causes some lags in some situations ?

After newCF is created in the loop, you can change it in any way you like

It only causes lag if you use it too much for things that don’t need RenderStepped
