Hi. I’m new to this, so I have no idea what I’m doing and am still trying to teach myself. Pardon me if this is a stupid question.

How could I set up a camera that moves with WASD in topdown mode? Similar to something you’d see in League of Legends, perhaps? I tried using action mapping for the input and then booleans to check whether they have been pressed or not, but I don’t know what the nodes for the camera movement would be. Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. :slight_smile:

P.S. general advise for teaching myself to make games is also welcomed! I don’t know what I am doing yet and would appreciate anything.

It’s really hard to recommend anything yet, because your question is a bit vague. For instance, if you just want a top down camera to follow the character, you can use a swing arm, like this:

Or do you mean, just a camera on it’s own, or…?
