Drag Camera: Godot Guide 

I can't tell you how long I have searched for such a simple functionality. 1:09 really was my AHA moment. Thank you for the video!

Concise and to the point. I freaking love you dude!

Clean, understandable and well-presented. Good job, that's an earned donation :)

This works fantastically except for the movement speed being adjusted by the zoom. It seems to be the opposite of what it should be so if you're zoomed in it pans too fast and if you're zoomed out it pans way too slow. I fixed it by dividing by zoom instead of multiplying.

This worked brilliantly, thankyou for the tutorial. I also had an issue at first, but I swapped from using _unhandled_input to using _input and it worked perfectly after that.

Thank you! Helped a lot.

This code works on godot 4.1 extends Camera2D var zoom_min = Vector2(.2,.2) var zoom_max = Vector2(2,2) var zoom_speed = Vector2(.2,.2) func _input(event): if event is InputEventMouseButton: if event.is_pressed(): if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_WHEEL_DOWN: if zoom > zoom_min: zoom -= zoom_speed if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_WHEEL_UP: if zoom < zoom_max: zoom += zoom_speed pass func _unhandled_input(event): if event is InputEventMouseMotion: if event.button_mask == MOUSE_BUTTON_MASK_MIDDLE: position -= event.relative / zoom pass

(At least for Godot 4) You have to do: position -= event.relative * zoom.Inverse() (or zoom.inverse() i am not sure if it is capitalized in GDScript, I rewrote it to C#)

the dragging speed is not adjusted quiet right after you zoom in, what i found was: doing this: position-=event.relative / zoom instead of this: position-=event.relative * zoom works quiet well

How would this code work with using input map? Specifically the mouse drag? I already have a zoom function don't need the speed mod as I am using a toggle camera speed.

Thanks a lot :) Seems to work fine.

Thank you 🔥

Any idea or tips you can give for zomming towards mouse position?

The enabling and disabling physics_process to toggle zoom seems a bit overkill

Hey, amazing video! What kind of software are you using to display the code? Thanks!

How to limit camera movement so it doesn't go indefinetely, or so it go on only one axis? Thank you

The video may be outdated or something because it doesent work if you follow the shown code. I managed to make it work by copying the code from the link and adding a Tween as a child of the camera node, in case anyone is stuck as I was.

No this doesn't work. I downloaded the files from your site and imported them but no joy. 1. Instructions say to make a Camera2D but the file you download uses PanningCamera2d?? 2. Missing tween in DL Zoom works, drag doesn't. Could you take a look if you have time please? Your demo was excellent to use and has exactly the functionality I'm after :)

I think the zoom in and zoom out is reverted, zoom in is to be more close

even when multiplying by zoom, it doesnt seem to take into account zoom when moving the camera with the mouse, going very fast zoomed in, and very slow zoomed out Using godot 4

thanks a lot :)

Tysm

how can i set a certain limit to where it cant go

You need the property Current selected to work

Godot is strange, I did this myself & it would not work, I downloaded your copy from itch and just copied it for batum & it would not work, I used your project files and it works... Are you doing something special that's somehow hidden somewhere ?

Zoom to cursor for Camera2D script in Godot 4.2 : extends Camera2D var zoom_min = Vector2(1, 1) var zoom_max = Vector2(2, 2) var zoom_speed = Vector2(0.1, 0.1) var screen_width = 1920 var screen_height = 1080 func _input(event): if event is InputEventMouseButton: if event.is_pressed(): if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_WHEEL_UP: zoom_in() if event.button_index == MOUSE_BUTTON_WHEEL_DOWN: zoom_out() func zoom_in(): if zoom < zoom_max: var old_zoom = zoom var new_zoom = old_zoom + zoom_speed update_zoom(old_zoom, new_zoom) func zoom_out(): if zoom > zoom_min: var old_zoom = zoom var new_zoom = old_zoom - zoom_speed update_zoom(old_zoom, new_zoom) func update_zoom(old_zoom: Vector2, new_zoom: Vector2): var mouse_x = get_viewport().get_mouse_position().x var mouse_y = get_viewport().get_mouse_position().y var pixels_difference_x = (screen_width / old_zoom.x) - (screen_width / new_zoom.y) var pixels_difference_y = (screen_height / old_zoom.y) - (screen_height / new_zoom.y) var side_ratio_x = (mouse_x - (screen_width / 2)) / screen_width var side_ratio_y = (mouse_y - (screen_height / 2)) / screen_height position.x += pixels_difference_x * side_ratio_x position.y += pixels_difference_y * side_ratio_y zoom = new_zoom if position != get_screen_center_position(): position = get_screen_center_position()

Instead of increments in zoom, use proportional factors, e.g. zoom*=0.9 for zoom out and zoom*1.11 for zoom in. Thank me later.

The draggin is way off. Nothing like what you have on the end of the video. I put a band aid on it by position -= event.relative / zoom * 2.7 ... works on my system but I guess this is not a solution either.
