Hey there, I’m trying to create a top down camera that moves in conjunction to the mouse. The camera is tilted slightly so it’s not 100% top down. One game that has a camera like this is Miami Vice. Here’s what I got so far
There’s two main issues with this though, even though it kind of does work…
You can keep moving the camera off screen forever.
With how I have the character to face the mouse, the two become desync’d. I don’t have the foggiest notion of how to sync these two things up. But anyway you can check that bit out here:
Hey how’s it going? It’s not for the community thing but a personal project of mine. Discord This link should work for the discord, it’s also on UGD’s announcement video I believe. If it still doesn’t work let me know.
Anyway…
I tried clamping but all that does is slow it down (I think?). What I want is to somehow limit how far the camera can extend out. I think I can do this by something like…
Check player location and cursor location, divide that… Or something. I really don’t know. The video does show exactly what I want however. I just can’t quite translate it to blueprint.
The multiplications determine how big the box around the player is. * -0.5 and * 0.5 would be half the screen that you can move, where +/-0.1 is just a small area in the immediate zone. I would still like help on how to turn this into a sphere around the player instead of a square, as I imagine that would feel nicer. So if anyone has any clues let me know.
