Hello, I want to make smooth weld rotation lerp of a lot of parts. My issue is that its not smooth. I placed task.wait() at loops to make it less laggy but now its not smooth. It can be sharpy but not too much.
How can I make it more smooth?
Maybe I can use other way to make weld rotation, but how?
function UpdateBaseMod()
if NeckCount.Value == 1 then
base_mod = 0.2/NeckCount.Value
sine_mod = 0.4/NeckCount.Value
else
base_mod = 0.4/NeckCount.Value
sine_mod = 0.8/NeckCount.Value
end
end
NeckCount.Changed:Connect(function()
S = 0
for i, v in pairs(Segments:GetChildren()) do
if v.Name ~= "Segment1" then
v:Destroy()
end
end
UpdateBaseMod()
NeckAddedEvent:FireServer(Head, S, Torso, NeckCount.Value)
end)
for i, v in pairs(Character:GetDescendants()) do
if v:IsA("BasePart") then
v.Massless = true
end
end
while true do task.wait()
for i, v in pairs(Segments:GetDescendants()) do task.wait()
if v.Name == "WeldX" then
local angle = -Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (base_mod + sine_mod * math.abs(math.sin(tick() * sine_speed)) )
v.C0 = v.C0:Lerp(CFrame.Angles(-Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (1/NeckCount.Value), 0, 0), lerp_mod)
end
end
end
This is part where it lerp welds:
while true do task.wait()
for i, v in pairs(Segments:GetDescendants()) do task.wait()
if v.Name == "WeldX" then
local angle = -Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (base_mod + sine_mod * math.abs(math.sin(tick() * sine_speed)) )
v.C0 = v.C0:Lerp(CFrame.Angles(-Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (1/NeckCount.Value), 0, 0), lerp_mod)
end
end
end
You could try lowering lerp_mod and making it change less to make it smoother, but this isn’t really ideal
You could also try changing the lerp from a CFrame based lerp to a lerp of just the angle number, but even at this high of a rate it shouldn’t make that much of a difference
There’s also a lot of smaller optimizations you could make, like you don’t have to :GetDescendants 60 times a second, and you don’t have to index the weld 60 times a second
Perhaps you could get a table of the welds every time the number of segments changes
Many of the things you index hundreds of times could also be saved to a variable outside the for loop, like the number of segments and humanoid move direction
Okay, so I added table that updates when number of segments changes, but now its not playing lerp.
And also how can I save move direction outside loop? And what other variable can I store behind the loop?
And I still dont know how to make it smoother without making it laggy
function UpdateBaseMod()
if NeckCount.Value == 1 then
base_mod = 0.2/NeckCount.Value --0.2
sine_mod = 0.4/NeckCount.Value --0.4
else
base_mod = 0.4/NeckCount.Value --0.4
sine_mod = 0.8/NeckCount.Value --0.8
end
base_mod /= NeckCount.Value
sine_mod /= NeckCount.Value
end
local Necks = {}
NeckCount.Changed:Connect(function()
S = 0
table.clear(Necks)
for i, v in pairs(Segments:GetDescendants()) do -- Updating table when segments changes
if v.Name == "WeldX" then
table.insert(Necks, v)
print(Necks)
end
end
for i, v in pairs(Segments:GetChildren()) do
v:Destroy()
end
UpdateBaseMod()
NeckAddedEvent:FireServer(Head, S, Torso, NeckCount.Value)
end)
while true do task.wait()
for i, v in next, Necks do task.wait()
local angle = -Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (base_mod + sine_mod * math.abs(math.sin(tick() * sine_speed)) )
v.C0 = v.C0:Lerp(CFrame.Angles(angle, 0, 0), lerp_mod)
end
end
while true do task.wait()
local angle = -Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude * (base_mod + sine_mod * math.abs(math.sin(tick() * sine_speed)) )
local cf = Necks[1].C0:Lerp(CFrame.Angles(angle, 0, 0), lerp_mod)
for i, v in next, Necks do task.wait()
v.C0 = cf
end
end
Also making it less laggy will make it so you can make it smoother
