How do you relay movement in Viewportframes?
I don't really know much about viewportframes, however what I am trying to do is have an npc appear in a frame on the player's UI with movement. I did this using the technique shown on the devforums, however all I see is a static image that doesn't move. How would I constantly update the viewportframe to show the latest position of the npc?
Here is my code, does not portray movement:
01 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local vp = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("CountDown"):WaitForChild("Members").Frame.ViewportFrame |
03 | local obj = workspace.TestSubject |
04 | local camera = Instance.new("Camera") |
05 |
06 | obj.Parent = vp |
07 | camera.Parent = vp |
08 | vp.CurrentCamera = camera |
09 |
10 | local pos = obj.PrimaryPart.Position + obj.PrimaryPart.CFrame.LookVector*6 |
11 | local lookAt = obj.PrimaryPart.Position |
12 |
13 | camera.CFrame = CFrame.new(pos + Vector3.new(0,1,0), lookAt) |

I am 100% sure this is not the most efficient way to do this, but I ended up cloning the model and constantly deleting and recloning it. I would probably also use the RunService for this. If anyone knows a better way please feel free to answer.

02 | local vp = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui"):WaitForChild("CountDown"):WaitForChild("Members").Frame.ViewportFrame |
03 | local obj = workspace.TestSubject |
04 | local camera = Instance.new("Camera") |
05 | local prevObj |
06 |
07 | camera.Parent = workspace |
08 | vp.CurrentCamera = camera |
09 |

11 | while true do |
12 | local newObj = obj:Clone() |
13 | newObj.Parent = vp |
14 |
15 | if prevObj then prevObj:Destroy() end |
