I have a top-down view script that tracks a character called "Noob" when he moves that is called by the MoveCharacter RemoteFunction. The camera will follow but it looks all cutty and glitchy. I have seen multiple top-down games (including Dungeon Delver and Guest Quest) that have a very smooth view. I was wondering how you would do this?
I also realize that it's not using an actual persons character but this is just a test to see if I can get it to track an object correctly from a top-down perspective
This is my current attempt:
wait(1) local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer repeat wait() until plr.Character plr.Character:remove() local camera = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Noob") local head = char.Head local humanoid = char.Humanoid local offset = {} offset.x = 10 offset.y = 30 offset.z = 10 --plr.CameraMaxZoomDistance = 100 --plr.CameraMinZoomDistance = 80 Focus = function(pos, duration) for i = 1, 10 do local cf = CFrame.new(Vector3.new( pos.x + offset.x, pos.y + offset.y, pos.z + offset.z) , pos) camera:Interpolate(cf, CFrame.new(Vector3.new(pos.x, pos.y, pos.z)), duration) end end local pos = head.Position camera.CameraType = "Scriptable" camera.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(Vector3.new(pos.x + offset.x, pos.y + offset.y, pos.z + offset.z), pos) game.Workspace.MoveCharacter.OnClientEvent:connect(function(pos) Focus(pos, ((head.Position - pos).magnitude) / humanoid.WalkSpeed) --The interpolation time is basically the distance it is away divided by the studs per second the character walks so that the animation will complete by the time the character gets there end)
This is what you need (in the starterpack!!)
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer repeat wait() until plr.Character plr.Character:remove() local char = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Noob") local humanoid = char.Humanoid cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera cam.CameraSubject = humanoid cam.CameraType = Scriptable
That's literally all you need. That will track the "Noob" wherever it goes and they can't do anything to their camera MAKE SURE ITS IN THE STARTER PACK!!!!!
