Look At Overview (3D)

Determines the rotational logic for a given PCam3D.

The different modes has different functionalities and purposes, so choosing the correct mode depends on what each PCam is meant to do.

Core Modes

Mimic

The simplest of the available options. Effectively copies the rotational value of the targeted Node3D.

Simple

Keeps a persistent forward direction towards a target.

Group

Allows for multiple targets to be looked at. The camera will look at the centre of the assigned targets' Vector3 coordinate.

Properties

look_at_mode

Type: LookAtEnum

Default: None

Value is based on LookAtMode enum.

Look At Mode	Value
NONE	0
MIMIC	1
SIMPLE	2
GROUP	3

Important

This property should not be changed during runtime, as such the setter for this has purposely been excluded.

To use another look_at_mode at runtime, switch to a separate PCam with the specific look_at_mode applied.

---

Getter

int get_look_at_mode()

Example

pcam.get_look_at_mode()

up

Type: Vector3

Default: Vector3(0, 1, 0)

Defines the upward direction of the PhantomCamera3D when look_at_mode is set.

This value will be overriden if up_target is defined.

---

Setter

void set_up(Vector3 value)

Example

pcam.set_up(Vector3(1, 1, 0))

Getter

Vector3 get_up()

Example

pcam.get_up()

up_target

Type: Node3D

Default: null

Applies and continuously updates the up direction of the PhantomCamera3D based on this target when look_at_mode is set.

Setting a value here will override the up value.

---

Setter

void set_up_target(Node3D value)

Example

pcam.set_up_target(node_target)

Getter

Node3D get_up_target()

Example

pcam.get_up_target()

Methods

bool is_looking

Returns true if look_at_mode is not set to NONE and has a valid look_at_target.

Example

pcam.is_looking()
