Camera movement

Hello all

Aphrodite can you or anyone please show me how to make the camera move to different positions smoothly then stick every tic to the player until i move it to another place.

My game is platform and the player will fall from height places and jump...etc.

I'm using this global variable :

Position = 0 --------- camera set position to : lerp(Self.X, Player.X+200, 1*dt)

Position = 1 --------- camera set position to : lerp(Self.X, Player.X-100, 2*dt)

......etc

And because of (x*dt) the camera will not stick 100% in the place.

And if i deleted the (x*dt) or make it more less the movement between positions will not be smooth.

Thank's for any help

I am not sure, but are you trying an effect like sonic 1 on master system (the camera has a max speed that sometimes is lower than the actual speed of the player), I can try to do something like it

Yes I believe A0Nasser means something like this:

Found that video as an example.

Thank's for the quick replies.

The camera will stick to the player every tic without lerp, And In some situations i want the camera to move smoothly to left or up or even more to the right then stick there.

If i use lerp the camera will follow the player, Sometimes the player will fall and the camera need x of time to reach the player.

And if i use the code without lerp : set camera to player.x+200 and player.y-100..for example, It will work perfectly but the problem when you move the camera to new positions, it move in 1 tic not smoothly.

Forgive my english

And thank's for interest

Any one know how to make this?

As I said in other posts, "the best option for whatever cam thing is the magicam plugin"

It's possible to do whatever you want about cam movements.

Thank's for the information, i will give it a try.

And i also think we can make this with some lerp cods.

do you mean something like this

Thank's for the example

But what i need is this :

situation 1 : Set camera to : player.x - player.y -150

situation 2 : Set camera to : player.x+300 - player.y -150

situation 3 : Set camera to : player.x-200 - player.y -50

Without lerp, To make the camera stick every tick to the position.

I want to use the lerp only when converting between cameras.
