Sonic 1 Camera not Working

[Tatanic_GamingYTalt (Randomosity)]

Hello. So, I’ve (somehow) fixed this problem (and this one (and this one too)) but now, of course, a new problem has risen that has been haunting me for like a week now.

Here’s the scene:

The intended behavior is when Sonic touches the Red Line (VerticalBottom), the camera goes so that the red line is at the same Y position as Sonic. Then, once Sonic’s Y position is near the Green Line (VerticalCenter), the camera instantly readjusts so that Sonic’s Y position is the same as the Green Line. And, once Sonic lands after starting the game, it works normally. It’s only once he lands after falling that it seems to wait before readjusting. Here’s a video of the intended behavior (somehow it just broke itself):

and here’s a video of the current behavior:

Now, here’s the camera script:

Thank you!

it worked on the 21st but after that it rebroke. have no clue why.

It seems like if Sonic falls after jumping (from a short distance) this happens. But if I set the jumpForce high, then it all works fine. Who am I talking to? I have no clue.

[Tatanic_GamingYTalt (Randomosity)]

Rewrote the camera script… twice.
First time, a bunch of jittering after landing. But the second time, I’m RIGHT there, like RIGHT there. After Sonic reaches the peak of his jump, the camera seems to move up just a tiny bit. Here’s the updated code:

local state = "idle"

game:GetService("RunService").Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y <= script.Parent.VerticalBottom.CFrame.Y then
		state = "down"
	elseif script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y >= script.Parent.VerticalTop.CFrame.Y then
		state = "up"
	elseif math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalCenter.CFrame.Y) <= .8 then
		state = "idle"
	end
	
	if state == "down" then
		if script.Parent.Position.Y - math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalBottom.Position.Y) < script.Parent.Position.Y then
			if math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalBottom.Position.Y) <= 1.6 then
				script.Parent.CFrame -= Vector3.new(0,math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalBottom.Position.Y),0)
			else
				script.Parent.CFrame -= Vector3.new(0,1.6,0)
			end
		else
			state = "idle"
		end
	elseif state == "up" then
		if script.Parent.Position.Y + math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalTop.Position.Y) > script.Parent.Position.Y then
			if math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalTop.Position.Y) <= 1.6 then
				script.Parent.CFrame += Vector3.new(0,math.abs(script.Parent.Parent.Sonic.Position.Y - script.Parent.VerticalTop.Position.Y),0)
			else
			--	script.Parent.CFrame += Vector3.new(0,1.6,0)
			end
		else
			state = "idle"
		end
	end
end)

and here’s a video of it happening:
