Moon Animator 2 Camera Animation Scripting

[Subsz (Sub)]

Trying to get help related to Moon Animator 2 Cutscenes.

I saw this post and took its cinematic function and tried to port it to my cutscene.

Camera Animations for cutscenes and gameplay!

To be honest, there are barely any games that use camera animations. Even though a good camera can make an attack feel much more powerful or give an awesome shot of a landscape during a cutscene. So I will be teaching how you can make camera animations, and use them in-game. Note: This is my first ever tutorial on here, please roast me. To start off, you’re going to need Moon Animator. I will start by explaining how to make simple cutscenes that always appear in the same position, I recommen…

local function Cinematic(CinematicsFolder)
	local CurrentCameraCFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
	local FrameTime = 0
	local Connection

	character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	
	Connection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(DT)
		FrameTime += (DT * 60) 

		local NeededFrame = CinematicsFolder.Frames:FindFirstChild(tonumber(math.ceil(FrameTime)))

		if NeededFrame then
			Camera.CFrame = NeededFrame.Value
		else
			Connection:Disconnect()
			character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = true
			Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
			Camera.CFrame = CurrentCameraCFrame	
		end
	end)
	
end

local function onAwakenedInput(_,inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		Cinematic(script.GON.Cam)
	end
end

ContextActionService:BindAction("Awakening",onAwakenedInput,false,Enum.KeyCode.G)

This is my code, however the camera just pans out to some random place in the sky. I assume it’s because the Camera CFrame in Moon Animator 2 animations is hard-coded.

That leaves the question though, how do I work with it?

Bump.

Wsg gang. First off did you make sure you added the reference to the camera? If so, you need to separate the animation by deselecting the animation and exporting just the camera. Let me know if that doesn’t resolve anything. Hope this helps.

Hey, sorry for bumping this after such a long time.

Your issue is this line

Camera.CFrame = NeededFrame.Value

You animated the camera relatively to a character and that’s what the keyframes values are set to. To fix the camera panning out to the sky you instead should’ve done:

Camera.CFrame = SomeCharacter.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame * NeededFrame.Value

@Subsz

	local CurrentCameraCFrame = workspace.CurrentCamera.CFrame
	local FrameTime = 0
	local Connection

	character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = false
	Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
	
	Connection = RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function(DT)
		FrameTime += (DT * 60) 

		local NeededFrame = CinematicsFolder.Frames:FindFirstChild(tonumber(math.ceil(FrameTime)))

		if NeededFrame then
			Camera.CFrame = NeededFrame.Value
		else
			Connection:Disconnect()
			character.Humanoid.AutoRotate = true
			Camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
			Camera.CFrame = CurrentCameraCFrame	
		end
	end)
	

this did not fix the issue, it plays the camera animation on the dummy that it has been animated on, tried you code didnt work, any fix?
