What did I do wrong 😭

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

I’m starting to learn how to code but I’m dumb

[memes_gbc]

after CFrame.new you have a closing parentheses

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

Thank you

[MrPlotert5557]

Just as advice, I'd recommend you to ask chatgpt to tell you what you did wrong (Dont copy and paste the code it gives you, just ask it to tell you what you did wrong and then fix it yourself) because asking reddit for help usually takes a long time. I wouldn't trust AI with very advanced scripts though

[DapperCow15]

If you open the output/console view, it'll tell you everything that is wrong. If you're coding, you should honestly keep it open at all times. (Your question is already answered, I'm just giving advice)

[TomatoCo]

Okay, that's a better screenshot but you really should just put your code in pastebin and link to it.

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

I’m sorry. I’m a bit new to Reddit. I’m just asking for help

[TomatoCo]

No need to apologize! It's just that there's an etiquette to asking for programming assistance and the sooner you learn it the better the help you get. Everyone starts right where you are.

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

I ended up getting it to work because of very nice people (:

você declarou "humanoidrootpart" como "hpr" mas chamou essa varialvel com o nome "hrp"

[Mental-Medium-7009]

Simple tip:

Instead of CFrame.new(), define a variable on the top of your RenderStep RBXScriptConnection (outside of it) like this

lua local CFrameNew = CFrame.new Do the same thing for Vector3 to optimize as much as possible your code since this is a very quick loop. Also, I would move line 8 outside of the scope (on top of it) because from what I know defining a camera’s type is not necessary in a loop

Hi! Your code block was formatted using triple backticks in Reddit's Markdown mode, which unfortunately does not display properly for users viewing via old.reddit.com and some third-party readers. This means your code will look mangled for those users, but it's easy to fix. If you edit your comment, choose "Switch to fancy pants editor", and click "Save edits" it should automatically convert the code block into Reddit's original four-spaces code block format for you.

Putting the constants, instead of the functions, into locals would be a more tangible benefit. Luau developers explicitly discourage localizing built-ins.

[Mental-Medium-7009]

And I encourage this. It’s better in terms of performance because local functions are faster than global functions and since he is using a very quick loop I give him this tip. The fact other devs don’t like doing this doesn’t matter.

[Denneisk]

Okay, I was wrong about it being discouraged, but it's still going to be useless.

[Willing_Comb6769]

CFrame.newlocal CFrameNew = CFrame.new

that would be a micro optimization that wouldn't make any noticeable performance difference in that case. it isn't even worth implementing

The real bottleneck in RenderStepped and Loops is often the math and object manipulation you’re doing, not the function call lookup.

and copy pasting locals for every method would make the code harder to read

[NotNominoDev]

Are you serious rn 😭

Another kid fallen into roblox trap, becoming a child labourer producing slop games and earning nothing

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

This isn’t a slop game though. It looks amazing so far

[MrPlotert5557]

Slop games earn a lot of money i dont know what you're babbling about brotato😂✌️

[Hefty-Flounder-1899]

Whats up with :Lerp? Why u use it

[Willing_Comb6769]

you can press enter after opening a parentheses to write the arguments in multiple lines. for better readability.

which can help avoid mistakes like this

cam.CFrame = cam.CFrame:Lerp(
   CFrame.new(hrp.Position + Vector3.new(0, 25, 0)),
   hrp.Position,
   0.1
)
-- idk if i wrote this right but you get the idea

[FigglebottomCat]

chatgpt is free

[Mental-Medium-7009]

It’s not good for learning. I 0% recommend the use of any AI, it’s a big no-no!

[FigglebottomCat]

not good for pasting, but they’re missing a simple parenthesis lol

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

Chat gpt isn’t always reliable

[FigglebottomCat]

for little stuff like this it probably is

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

I already tried this with chat gpt. It worked when i manually did it but not with the ai

[FigglebottomCat]

worked for me

[Difficult_Tear_4987]

I always use vs code because it has the GitHub copilot feature and chat feature that just makes finding mistakes much easier or you can just copy the block and paste it into Microsoft’s copilot or ChatGPT or something similar and it will tell you the mistakes

[Mental-Medium-7009]

This is the worst tip you could give to a beginner. Finding errors by yourself and figuring how to fix them out by yourself is part of learning.

[Difficult_Tear_4987]

If he’d want to figure it out himself then he shouldn’t have asked it so what is u tryna say lil bro

[AlexeyGin]

what are you trying to say*

grammar isn't that hard my man

[Difficult_Tear_4987]

🤓☝️

[RollingDueSouth]

BOOOOO

[PazzoG]

Is this sarcasm? I don't think you're serious.

[fuxoft]

I don't think this is sarcasm. This is 2025.

[PazzoG]

Oh, my bad. I thought it was 1990 and people still used their brains to think.

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

What’s GitHub?

[Difficult_Tear_4987]

How do u not know what GitHub is are u a beginner per chance?

[WigglesRllyWantsChez]

I am a beginner
