Hello, I finally released my RTS Camera System.
The main feature is pixel-perfect detection when your cursor is on the edge of the game’s window. This allows for a very nice experience when moving the camera by pushing the mouse against the edge of the screen.
It also has other features common to RTS Games:
- Scroll to Zoom
- Rotate View
- Use Keyboard to control Camera
- Jump to specific location
- Follow an Actor / Lock on to an actor.
- Restrict the Camera to a specified area, either Rectangular or Circular (so player cannot escape the map)
- Set up Player Start Locations per-map
- Smooth Camera Acceleration
The Lock-On / Follow Actor feature disables moving the camera, but still allows zooming and rotating.
The core of the plugin is C++, but you can change settings and enable / disable features by overriding variables in blueprint.
The Demo Level has two overlays: One which allows you to tweak settings at runtime, and one which shows the controls for the demo map. Just click the buttons in the corners open each overlay
