Third Person Camera and Camera manipulation Problem

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

I’m having this issue with my Third Person Camera system, which overlays my camera animations. Basically, how the Third person camera works is by using the .RenderStepped event, I think this is the cause of the issue - it keeps overlaying the camera animations, therefore the camera anims aren’t or barely noticeable. The only thing that makes it work is by adding a wait() but then the third person system won’t be ran as smooth as it should be.
I’m sure there is a way to go over this, since it works perfectly fine with when you enable shift lock on Roblox’s own camera system.

Thank you in advance.

Include the code you are using or else you won’t get effectively helped…?

Not sure why you would need the code? I’ll provide a few visual references if needed.
Here’s the code of the TPC briefly:


game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
wait() --// If removed, this will completely overlay my ingame camera animations.
--// function that puts the camera to the given offset etc.
end)

This is probably issue with the code itself. But you have yet to provide the full code so we are not well equipped to help you with your problem. Of course we need to see the code.

Because there are some variables missing, I can’t properly test this as you are with your whole system. However, I’ve cleaned up the code you provided and implemented some logic fixes that I think might help. If it doesn’t, I’m sorry I couldn’t be of more help. I just simply can’t get the result you’re obtaining.

local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer;
local cam = workspace.CurrentCamera;
local input = game:GetService("UserInputService");

local CameraPosition = Vector3.new(); -- Your Camera Position.
local xAngle = 45; -- Your X Angle.
local yAngle = 45; -- Your Y Angle.
local onMobile = function() end -- Fancy mobile detection code.
local UpdateSpeed = 3; -- Update speed.
local Core = nil; -- Core?
local pMouse = plr:GetMouse(); -- Player mouse.

local lockEnabled = true;
local turnCharToMouse = true;

local function cameraStep()
if not (plr.Character or plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")) then return end

local rp = plr.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart");

-- //: I added this so it redefines every time. It also waits if there isn't a Humanoid because, why run the loop without a Humanoid?
local hum = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid");

-- //: If enabled, camera locks.
    if lockEnabled == true then
	
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Scriptable;
    input.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.LockCenter;
	
	-- //: Set rotated start of CFrame inside of head.
	local cameraPos = CameraPosition;
	local startCFrame = CFrame.new((rp.CFrame.p + Vector3.new(0,2,0)))*CFrame.Angles(0, math.rad(xAngle), 0)*CFrame.Angles(math.rad(yAngle), 0, 0)
	
	-- //: Set Camera Focus/CFrame
	local cameraCFrame = startCFrame + startCFrame:vectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(cameraPos.X,cameraPos.Y,cameraPos.Z));
	local cameraFocus = startCFrame + startCFrame:vectorToWorldSpace(Vector3.new(cameraPos.X,cameraPos.Y,-50000));
	cam.CFrame = CFrame.new(cameraCFrame.p,cameraFocus.p);
    else
	-- //: Normal Camera
	cam.CameraSubject = plr.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid");
	cam.CameraType = Enum.CameraType.Custom;
	input.MouseBehavior = Enum.MouseBehavior.Default;
    end

    if turnCharToMouse == true then
	if not onMobile then
		hum.AutoRotate = false;
		Core.CFrame = Core.CFrame:lerp(CFrame.new(Core.Position, Vector3.new(pMouse.Hit.p.x, Core.Position.Y, pMouse.Hit.p.z)), UpdateSpeed / 2);
	else
		hum.AutoRotate = true;
		local camRotation = math.atan2(-cam.CFrame.lookVector.X, -cam.CFrame.lookVector.Z)
		Core.CFrame = CFrame.new(Core.Position) * CFrame.Angles(0, camRotation, 0);
	    end
    else
	    hum.AutoRotate = true;
    end

    -- //: Our suspicious wait().
    wait();
end
game:GetService("RunService"):BindToRenderStep("cameraStep",1,cameraStep);

EDIT: If the result you require is removing the wait() parameter, please do so.
