SimpleShake (Camera Shake Module)

SimpleShake is a lightweight, highly optimized camera shake module for Roblox. It provides preset shake profiles and allows developers to create custom shakes with minimal math. Designed for client use and easy plug and play integration.

Features

  • Preset shake profiles for common scenarios (explosions, footsteps, recoil, etc.)

  • Customizable shake profiles with amplitude, frequency, duration, and fade settings

  • Auto-managed render loop that binds/unbinds depending on active shakes

  • Smooth fade-in and fade-out transitions

  • Simple API for playing/stopping shakes

Installation

  1. Place the SimpleShake module folder inside your project (e.g., ReplicatedStorage or StarterPlayerScripts).

  2. Require the module from a LocalScript where you want to use camera shakes.


local SimpleShake = require(path.to.SimpleShake)
Usage

Playing a Shake

You can start a shake using a preset name or providing a custom profile.


-- Using a preset

local shake = SimpleShake.Play("Explosion")

-- Custom profile

local customShake = SimpleShake.Play({

Amplitude = 2,

Frequency = 30,

Duration = 0.5,

FadeIn = 0.1,

FadeOut = 0.3,

})

-- Override specific properties

local overriddenShake = SimpleShake.Play("Recoil_Light", {

Duration = 0.2,

FadeOut = 0.05,

})

Each call returns a ShakeInstance you can control further.

Stopping a Shake

To stop an individual shake with a fade-out:


overriddenShake:Stop(0.2) -- optional override fade-out time

To stop all active shakes immediately:


SimpleShake.StopAll()
Presets

Built-in presets include:

  • Explosion

  • Footstep_Heavy

  • Footstep_Light

  • Melee_Hit

  • Earthquake

  • Heartbeat

  • Recoil_Light

  • Recoil_Heavy

  • Vehicle_Rumble

  • Landing

Each preset defines a ShakeProfile with Amplitude, Frequency, Duration, FadeIn, and FadeOut values.

API Reference

SimpleShake.Play(profile, overrides?)

  • profile: string preset name or table custom profile

  • overrides: optional table to override profile properties

  • Returns: ShakeInstance

SimpleShake.StopAll()

Immediately begins fade-out for all active shakes.

ShakeInstance methods

  • Stop(fadeOutOverride?) – begins fade-out for this shake instance
Types

ShakeProfile:


{

Amplitude: number?,

Frequency: number?,

Duration: number?,

FadeIn: number?,

FadeOut: number?,

}

PresetName: one of the preset strings listed above.

ShakeInstance: object returned by Play containing state and methods.

Notes

  • The module binds to RunService.RenderStepped automatically and unbinds when no shakes are active.

  • Camera is manipulated directly, so ensure your scripts run on the client.

  • The shake math uses Perlin noise for smooth, natural movement.

By reading the code I can tell this is really well made! Good job.
Also it’s cool to see people using export type!

Probably going to use for my future works!
We search for a lot of Shake Libs and Modules but cannot found a really well-made one. Congratulations for making it. :wink:

Any plans for future updates or expansion?

can you provide a .rbxl that automatically cycles through some different examples? thanks

Thanks so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the module.

I don’t have any concrete plans for expansion right now, but I’m more than happy to take suggestions! If there’s a specific feature or improvement you’d like to see, let me know.

I am fairly certain this draws from the same source or is just a fork of it.

I wrote this to make a plug and play camera shake system that can be used in any of my games. I took inspiration for using Perlin Noise from this article by Shane Smith, but the code in this module is entirely written by me.
