Hello everyone! I am currently working on my game and want to make a nice and smooth 3rd person camera. An example of such a smooth camera is shown here
In this example I move the camera and as you can see the camera moves smoothly with a slight deceleration. This example is taken from the game Little Nightmares 2.
You can also see a good example of such a smooth camera here
Hey there. I made a post a while back on the use of springs to achieve the desired effect. There is also a video which goes into more detail on it from an RDC panel.
I also want to ask, what is the best way to put a spring in the camera script from behind the shoulder?
Here is the script itself
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local char = script.Parent
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.AutoRotate = false
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local x = 0
local y = 0
local cameraPos = Vector3.new(2, 2, 8)
uis.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, processed)
if processed then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
x = x - input.Delta.X*0.1
y = math.clamp(y - input.Delta.Y*0.1, -65, 65)
hrp.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-input.Delta.X), 0)
end
end)
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
uis.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
local startCFrame = CFrame.new((hrp.CFrame.Position)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(x), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(y), 0, 0)
local cameraCFrameGoal = startCFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(cameraPos.X, cameraPos.Y, cameraPos.Z))
local cameraDirection = startCFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(cameraPos.X, cameraPos.Y, -10000))
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraCFrameGoal.Position, cameraDirection.Position)
end)
Take a look at this. Comments explaining what I’ve done.
local Spring = require(script:WaitForChild("Spring"))

local spring = Spring.new(Vector3.new())
--[[
Adjsut the dampening and speed values to your liking -
see the post I linked which contains a comment
in the code explaining how changing the values affects
the spring.
]]
spring.d = 100
spring.s = 10
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
camera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local char = script.Parent
local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
humanoid.AutoRotate = false
local hrp = char:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local x = 0
local y = 0
local cameraPos = Vector3.new(2, 2, 8)
uis.InputChanged:Connect(function(input, processed)

if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement then
x = x - input.Delta.X*0.1
y = math.clamp(y - input.Delta.Y*0.1, -65, 65)
hrp.CFrame = hrp.CFrame * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(-input.Delta.X), 0)
end
end)
RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
uis.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter
local startCFrame = CFrame.new((hrp.CFrame.Position)) * CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(x), 0) * CFrame.Angles(math.rad(y), 0, 0)
local cameraCFrameGoal = startCFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(cameraPos.X, cameraPos.Y, cameraPos.Z))
local cameraDirection = startCFrame:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(cameraPos.X, cameraPos.Y, -10000))
--[[
Set the spring target to your CFrame goal which you've calculated,
]]
spring.t = cameraCFrameGoal.Position
--[[
Then set the position vector of the CFrame as the current spring
position.
]]
camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(spring.p, cameraDirection.Position)
end)
Is there any article about using springs? When I woke up today, I realized that I didn’t understand anything about springs . In your example, there was an example with a car in this message. But I would like it to be the same as you have in the example above
