Follow With Camera

Every Frame

Follow With Camera Camera

Camera not set | Target not set | Speed 5.0

Glides a camera toward a node every frame, so it trails the target instead of snapping onto it. Works with a 2D and a 3D camera.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The camera that moves, a 2D or a 3D one.
Target	Node	-	The node the camera chases.
Speed	float	5.0	How fast the camera catches up. A bigger value follows tighter.

Get Screen Position

Every Frame

Get Screen Position Camera

not set

Reads where a node shows up on the screen, in pixels. It is what a health bar, a name tag or an arrow marker needs to sit on top of something in the world.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Node	Node	-	The node to project onto the screen. Leave it empty to project this node.

Output	Type	Description
Result	Vector2	Where to store the screen point, in pixels. A 3D node only reports a point while a camera is active.

Set Camera Limits

Start

Set Camera Limits Camera

Camera not set | Min (-1000.0, -1000.0) | Max (1000.0, 1000.0)

Fences a 2D camera inside a rectangle so it stops at the edges of the level instead of showing the empty space around it.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The 2D camera to fence in.
Min	Vector2	(-1000.0, -1000.0)	The top-left corner of the area the camera can reach.
Max	Vector2	(1000.0, 1000.0)	The bottom-right corner of the area the camera can reach.

Set Field Of View

Start

Set Field Of View Camera

Camera not set | FOV 75.0 | Speed 0.0

Sets the field of view of a 3D camera in degrees, where a wider angle exaggerates speed and a narrower one looks zoomed in. On update or physics it can ease toward the value instead of snapping.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The 3D camera to change.
FOV	float	75.0	The field of view in degrees, around 75 for a normal view.
Speed	float	0.0	How fast it eases toward the value on update or physics. Zero jumps straight to it.

Shake Camera

Start

Shake Camera Camera

Camera not set | Strength 8.0 | Duration 0.3 | → Finished

Shakes a camera for a moment and settles it back, the punch a screen gets on a hit or an explosion. Wire Finished and the flow moves on by itself when it ends, with no timer of your own. On enter it plays once; on update or physics it starts again as soon as the last one ended, so it keeps repeating while the state runs. Leaving the state before it ends settles the camera back to center, so it never stays off to one side.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The camera to shake, a 2D or a 3D one.
Strength	float	8.0	How far the camera jumps at the start, in pixels on a 2D camera and in world units on a 3D one.
Duration	float	0.3	How long the shake takes to fade back to zero, in seconds.

Branch	Goes to
Finished	Where to go when the animation ends. Leaving the state first cancels it, so it never fires late.

Use This Camera Camera

not set

Makes a camera the one the player looks through, replacing whichever was active. Works with a 2D and a 3D camera.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The camera to switch to, a 2D or a 3D one.

Zoom Camera

Start

Zoom Camera Camera

Camera not set | Zoom 1.0 | Speed 0.0

Sets how close a 2D camera looks, where a bigger value gets closer. On update or physics it can ease toward the value instead of snapping.

Input	Type	Default	Description
Camera	Node	-	The 2D camera to zoom.
Zoom	float	1.0	The zoom factor, where 1 is the normal view and 2 looks twice as close.
Speed	float	0.0	How fast it eases toward the value on update or physics. Zero jumps straight to it.
