Problems with RunService.RenderStepped()

[Ultimax_84 (SquidwardTortellini)]

so i have a local script. i’m trying to use ZonePlus to create dynamic camera zones. the camera’s CFrame is being changed, but there is no linear interpolation. i don’t want to use tweens, that would require me to create and destroy a tween. create and destroy, create and destroy.

here’s what i have right now.

my local script:

-- uses ZonePlus by ForeverHD

local currentCamera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local replicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local zonePlus = require(replicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Zone"))
local ambienceFolder = workspace:FindFirstChild("ambienceFolder")
local localPlayer = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local cameraPartFolder = workspace:FindFirstChild("cameraParts")
local zoneController = require(replicatedStorage.Zone.ZoneController)
local soundService = game:GetService("SoundService")
local runService = game:GetService("RunService")
local lerpFactor = 0.08
local runServiceConnection

local ambientParts = {
	ambienceFolder:WaitForChild("calmSeaside"),
	ambienceFolder:WaitForChild("consumerism"),
	ambienceFolder:WaitForChild("sunset"),
	ambienceFolder:WaitForChild("creepyFog")
}

local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(0.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Circular, Enum.EasingDirection.InOut)
local propertyTable = {Volume = 1}
local propertyTable2 = {Volume = 0}

for _, zonePart in ipairs(ambientParts) do
	local ambientZone = zonePlus.new(zonePart)
	local audioFile = soundService.ambientSounds:WaitForChild(tostring(zonePart.Name)) -- works now, yay!
	
	-- ambientZone:relocate()
	ambientZone:bindToGroup("ambientAreas")
	
	ambientZone.localPlayerEntered:Connect(function()
		print(zonePart.Name, "was entered")
		local tween = tweenService:Create(audioFile, tweenInfo, propertyTable):Play()
		local camPart = cameraPartFolder:FindFirstChild("c_"..tostring(zonePart.Name))
		
		if camPart then
			-- this updates the camera's CFrame. odd.
			currentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable
			runServiceConnection = runService.RenderStepped:Connect(function()
				currentCamera.CFrame = camPart.CFrame
				local targetPart = localPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait().PrimaryPart
				local lookAtPosition = targetPart.Position
				local currentPosition = camPart.Position

				local lookAtCFrame = CFrame.new(currentPosition, lookAtPosition)
				camPart.CFrame = camPart.CFrame:Lerp(lookAtCFrame, lerpFactor)
				print("cframe updated") -- this never prints!
			end)
			print("corresponding camera part found")
		end
	end)
	
	ambientZone.localPlayerExited:Connect(function() -- no issues here.
		print(zonePart, "was exited")
		if runServiceConnection then
			runServiceConnection:Disconnect()
		end
		currentCamera.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom
		local tween = tweenService:Create(audioFile, tweenInfo, propertyTable2):Play()
	end)
end

local dictionary = {
	onlyEnterOnceExitedAll = true,
}

zoneController.setGroup("ambientAreas", dictionary)

In the RenderStepped, you have CharacterAdded:Wait() instead of Player.Character

CharacterAdded is only fired when the character spawns in

i was trying to avoid the ‘attempt to index nil with PrimaryPart’ error, but that makes a lot more sense
