Simple Follow

Has similar logic to Glued Follow, but with the additional option to be offset from its target location.

This mode is useful for things like character controllers in a fixed angle perspective.

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()

2D 3D

follow_offset

Type: Vector2

Default: Vector2(0,0)

Offsets the follow target's position.

---

Setter

void set_follow_offset(Vector2 offset)

Example

pcam.set_follow_offset(Vector2(1, 1))

Example

pcam.set_follow_offset(Vector3(1, 1, 1))

Getter

Vector2 get_follow_offset()

Vector3 get_follow_offset()

Example

pcam.get_follow_offset()

Example

pcam.get_follow_offset()

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()

rotate_with_target

Type: bool

Default: false

Makes the PhantomCamera2D copy the rotation of its follow_target This behavior is only available when follow_mode is set and only has one follow_target.

Important

Be sure to disable ignore_rotation on the Camera2D node to enable this feature.

This property is for PCam2D only.

---

Setter

void set_rotate_with_target(bool enable)

Example

pcam.set_rotate_with_target(true)

Getter

float get_rotate_with_target()

Example

pcam.get_rotate_with_target()

rotation_offset

Type: float

Default: 0

Offsets the rotation when rotate_with_target is enabled.

This property is for PCam2D only.

---

Setter

void set_rotation_offset(float rotation_offset)

Example

pcam.set_rotation_offset(42)

Getter

float get_rotation_offset()

Example

pcam.get_rotation_offset()

rotation_damping

Type: bool

Default: false

Enables rotational damping when rotate_with_target is enabled.

This property is for PCam2D only.

---

Setter

void set_rotation_damping(bool enable)

Example

pcam.set_rotation_damping(true)

Getter

bool get_rotation_damping()

Example

pcam.get_rotation_damping()

rotation_damping_value

Type: float

Default: 0.1

Defines the damping amount for the rotate_with_target.

This property is for PCam2D only.

---

Setter

void set_rotation_damping_value(float damping_value)

Example

pcam.set_rotation_damping_value(0.42)

Getter

float get_rotation_damping_value()

Example

pcam.get_rotation_damping_value()
