Glued Follow

Mimics the positional movement of its target.

This is the simplest and lightest of the follow modes and is useful for cases where you just want a camera to follow a target without any additional complications.

Properties

2D 3D

follow_target

Type: Node2D

Default: null

Determines which Node should be followed. The Camera will follow the position of the Follow Target based on the Follow Mode type and its parameters.

---

Setter

void set_follow_target(Node2D target_node)

Example

pcam.set_follow_target(player_node)

Example

pcam.set_follow_target(player_node)

Getter

Node2D get_follow_target_node()

Node3D get_follow_target_node()

Example

pcam.get_follow_target_node()

Example

pcam.get_follow_target_node()

follow_damping

Type: bool

Default: false

Applies a damping effect on the Camera's movement. Leading to heavier / slower camera movement as the targeted node moves around.

This is useful to avoid sharp and rapid camera movement.

---

Setter

void set_follow_damping(bool enable)

Example

pcam.set_follow_damping(true)

Getter

bool get_follow_damping()

Example

pcam.get_follow_damping()

2D 3D

damping_value

Type: Vector2

Default: Vector2(0.1, 0.1)

Defines the damping amount. The ideal range should be somewhere between 0-1, likely somewhere around 0.1-0.25.

The damping amount is specified in the individual axis. X and Y for 2D and X, Y and Z for 3D scenes. To have the damping be consistent in all directions, simply supply the same value in all slots.

Lower value = faster / sharper camera movement.
Higher value = slower / heavier camera movement.

---

Setter

void set_follow_damping_value(Vector2 damping_value)

Example

pcam.set_follow_damping_value(Vector2(0.2, 0.2))

Example

pcam.set_follow_damping_value(Vector3(0.2, 0.2, 0.2))

Getter

Vector2 get_follow_damping_value()

Vector3 get_follow_damping_value()

Example

pcam.get_follow_damping_value()

Example

pcam.get_follow_damping_value()
