Camera movements

ande

Hi, I'm trying to achieve a similar camera movement to the one in a game called Castle by Donut Games.

You start the level and can move the camera around but when you release the camera it tracks back to the start point of the camera.

Any advice would be welcomed.

Ok try this:
Create an attribute - Follow camera - Boolean - False.
Make an actor and call it- camera controler (invisible) place it on the scene and make it control the camera.
you gonna have to make Buttons or Joystick to control this actor.
When you start the level change the attribute to true.
All the actors in the scene most be inactive when Follow camera is true.
And your camera controller actor BE active when Follow camera is true.

Then you gonna need to make a button to finish exploring the scene and start playing , when this button pressed , interpolate scene origins to 0 and change "Follow camera" to false so the level will start.
you can also destroy the camera controller actor if you want .

I hope it will help you to start , its just an idea i did not try it myself.

status update:

When touch is pressed
Spawn actor
actor follows mouse/touch
on touch release
destroy actor

this all works fine... but I'm using a move behavior with a vectorToAngle expression and when the spawned actor reaches a certain point I get a wobble and the screen stops moving.

I'm probably not explaining this properly but basically I want to constantly slide my touch and have the actor follow without stopping or wobbling.

Any help would be great

ok I'm being dumb... I've just figured everything out.

I used constrain attribute and it's fine now.
