Room-based camera movement

Move and zoom camera to the room object that contains the trigger object (usually the player).

Authors and contributors to this experimental extension: VictrisGames, Silver-Streak, Jurfix.

Move camera to the room that contains the trigger object (usually the player). If desired, change zoom to show the entire room or keep zoom static.

How to use:

  • Place room objects on scene
  • Select camera zoom limits, how fast the camera should move, and the visible buffer around each room
  • Run the "Move and zoom camera" action on every frame
  • Move the trigger object (player) between rooms and the camera will center on the room that contains the trigger object.

Tips:

  • Use these conditions for custom logic when changing rooms : "Camera moving", "Camera zooming", and "Room changed"
  • Set "Lerp Speed" to "1" to change the camera instantly
