CameraStackService

Holds camera states and allows for the last camera state to be retrieved. Also initializes an impulse and default camera as the bottom of the stack. Is a singleton.

Functions​

Init​

</>
CameraStackService:Init(serviceBag: ServiceBag) → ()

Initializes a new camera stack. Should be done via the ServiceBag.

SetDoNotUseDefaultCamera​

</>
CameraStackService:SetDoNotUseDefaultCamera(doNotUseDefaultCamera: boolean) → ()

Prevents the default camera from being used

PushDisable​

</>
CameraStackService:PushDisable() → function--

Function to cancel disable

Pushes a disable state onto the camera stack

PrintCameraStack​

</>
CameraStackService:PrintCameraStack() → ()

Outputs the camera stack. Intended for diagnostics.

GetDefaultCamera​

</>
CameraStackService:GetDefaultCamera() → SummedCamera--

DefaultCamera + ImpulseCamera

Returns the default camera

GetImpulseCamera​

</>
CameraStackService:GetImpulseCamera() → ImpulseCamera

Returns the impulse camera. Useful for adding camera shake.

Shaking the camera:

self._cameraStackService:GetImpulseCamera():Impulse(Vector3.new(0.25, 0, 0.25*(math.random()-0.5)))

You can also sum the impulse camera into another effect to layer the shake on top of the effect as desired. 

-- Adding global custom camera shake to a custom camera effect
local customCameraEffect = ...
return (customCameraEffect + self._cameraStackService:GetImpulseCamera()):SetMode("Relative")

GetRawDefaultCamera​

</>
CameraStackService:GetRawDefaultCamera() → DefaultCamera

Returns the default camera without any impulse cameras

GetTopCamera​

</>
CameraStackService:GetTopCamera() → CameraEffect

Gets the camera current on the top of the stack

GetTopState​

</>
CameraStackService:GetTopState() → CameraState?

Retrieves the top state off the stack at this time

GetNewStateBelow​

</>
CameraStackService:GetNewStateBelow() → (
CustomCameraEffect,--

Effect below

(CameraState) → ()--

Function to set the state

)

Returns a new camera state that retrieves the state below its set state.

GetIndex​

</>
CameraStackService:GetIndex(state: CameraEffect) → number?--

index

Retrieves the index of a state

GetRawStack​

</>
CameraStackService:GetRawStack() → {CameraState<T>}

Returns the current stack.

warning

Do not modify this stack, this is the raw memory of the stack

GetCameraStack​

</>
CameraStackService:GetCameraStack() → CameraStack

Gets the global camera stack for this service

Remove​

</>
CameraStackService:Remove(state: CameraState) → ()

Removes the state from the stack

Add​

</>
CameraStackService:Add(state: CameraState) → ()

Adds the state from the stack
