Smooth head facing camera script?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I have a script that makes the character’s head face the camera, but it’s extremely linear and robotic and not smooth at all. How can I make this smooth. Here’s an example: Combat Warriors - Roblox

And here’s my script:

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")

local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Character = Player.Character
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Neck = Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)
local YOffset = Neck.C0.Y

local CFNew, CFAng = CFrame.new, CFrame.Angles
local asin = math.asin

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local CameraDirection = Root.CFrame:toObjectSpace(Camera.CFrame).lookVector
	if Neck then
		if Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
			Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(0, -asin(CameraDirection.x), 0) * CFAng(asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		elseif Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
			Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(3 * math.pi/2, 0, math.pi) * CFAng(0, 0, -asin(CameraDirection.x)) * CFAng(-asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		end
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Look.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(otherPlayer, neckCFrame)
	local Neck = otherPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)

	if Neck then
		tweenService:Create(Neck, TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {C0 = neckCFrame}):Play()
	end
end)

while wait(1) do
	game.ReplicatedStorage.Look:FireServer(Neck.C0)
end

You are using 1 in while wait(1) do. If you want it to be faster, I recommend using a lower number.

That number doesn’t affect anything. I just want the head to move smoothly.

Try tweening the CFrames instead. That will be way smoother.

Not gonna lie I’m a beginner and have no clue how to do that, really sorry

#6 
local ts = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(1)

Then, put this line:

ts:Create(Neck, ti, {C0 = yourCFrame}):Play()

I tried this:

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(1)
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Character = Player.Character
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Neck = Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)
local YOffset = Neck.C0.Y

local CFNew, CFAng = CFrame.new, CFrame.Angles
local asin = math.asin

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local CameraDirection = Root.CFrame:toObjectSpace(Camera.CFrame).lookVector
	if Neck then
		if Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
			Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(0, -asin(CameraDirection.x), 0) * CFAng(asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		elseif Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
			Neck.C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(3 * math.pi/2, 0, math.pi) * CFAng(0, 0, -asin(CameraDirection.x)) * CFAng(-asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)
		end
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Look.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(otherPlayer, neckCFrame)
	local Neck = otherPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)

	if Neck then
		tweenService:Create(Neck, TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {C0 = neckCFrame}):Play()
	end
end)
while wait(1) do
	tweenService:Create(Neck, ti, {C0 = Neck.C0})
end

But it didn’t work. Not sure what I should do.

You only added it to one of them. You need to do the other 2.

local tweenService = game:GetService("TweenService")
local ti = TweenInfo.new(1)
local Camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local Character = Player.Character
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Neck = Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)
local YOffset = Neck.C0.Y

local CFNew, CFAng = CFrame.new, CFrame.Angles
local asin = math.asin

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	local CameraDirection = Root.CFrame:toObjectSpace(Camera.CFrame).lookVector
	if Neck then
		if Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R15 then
			tweenService:Create(Neck, ti, {C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(0, -asin(CameraDirection.x), 0) * CFAng(asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)}):Play()
		elseif Character.Humanoid.RigType == Enum.HumanoidRigType.R6 then
			tweenService:Create(Neck, ti, {C0 = CFNew(0, YOffset, 0) * CFAng(3 * math.pi/2, 0, math.pi) * CFAng(0, 0, -asin(CameraDirection.x)) * CFAng(-asin(CameraDirection.y), 0, 0)}):Play()
		end
	end
end)

game.ReplicatedStorage.Look.OnClientEvent:Connect(function(otherPlayer, neckCFrame)
	local Neck = otherPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Neck", true)

	if Neck then
		tweenService:Create(Neck, TweenInfo.new(.5, Enum.EasingStyle.Quart, Enum.EasingDirection.Out, 0, false, 0), {C0 = neckCFrame}):Play()
	end
end)

I think this works.

I’m sorry yo but like I don’t understand, I need to work on learning about tweens

#10

I edited my reply to include some code. Try it out.

Also, you don’t need to create TweenInfo every time you use Tween. You only need to make it once and store it in a variable.

#11

Not sure why but it doesn’t seem to work, sorry

#12

Is there any error in the output?

Edit: I tested it out in studio, it works fine. I don’t see any issues.

#13

Alright this is gonna sound dumb but before, I was trying a new script to do this. And I disabled this one. Sorry. It’s working now, thank you so much.
