Hi I think this is more of a me not knowing much math issue but anyway, I’ll try to explain as good as I can.

I have this object on my level

the thing that is currently being seen on the screen is a scene capture component, I want to rotate that cene capture component when the user drags the mouse over the game’s computer’s screen. like what tablets or phones do when you zoom on a photo, that thing when you can move the photo around in gallery when you zoom it, the more you zoom the more you can move, I want to achieve the same effect here I already made the zoom part, changing the fov of the scene capture component, but I don’t know how to do the drag part (the dragging should only occur when dragging over the screen).

i’d suggest you actually move the scene capture comp or the root instead of changing the fov. forward/backward is analogous to zoom, and sideways and up for panning.

while it would change how it looks, it would behave more consistent.

also a zoom wouldn’t change the fov, but scale, so it makes sense.

otherwise just scale the and pan the texture that you use to display the render target. that will look more accurate. it will pixelate, but that’s exactly what you would expect from a digital zoom.
