New camera system has been applied!
After messing around with the code of my game, I completely rewrote all of the camera switching codee, as you might remember, a a couple of days ago I found a better way to switch between characters in a test project, this code tho, was extremely limited.
I am using a node called Players, were all of the players (duh) are children of it. Adding a script to the players node, and an extra camera to the parent of Players (the level scene) I only had to use a match statement between every child available, wich was stored in its own variable.
This code was a bit wonky tho, I will share some images. As you can see, I would have to manually add every player to the match statement, and altough it would work, it would be a really bad thing if I wanted to expand it to more, and I dont know I would manage killing players in it, altough maybe i could have solved that
I decided to work on a better way and I ended up coming up with this
func switch_player(): cam.current = true can_move = true for player in players: if player == new_player: player.cam_will_be_enabled =true else: player.cam_will_be_enabled = false if current!=null and new_player!=null: tween.interpolate_property(cam,"position",current.cam.global_position,new_player.cam.global_position,.3,Tween.TRANS_SINE,Tween.EASE_OUT,0) tween.start() cam_timer.start() timer_started = true
#This timer starts whenever the tween to move the #main camera is enabled, as soon as its done, the new player camera is enabled func _on_SwitchCamTimer_timeout(): timer_started = false if new_player != null: new_player.cam.current = true current = new_player var b = 0 a=0 for player in players: if player == current: new_player = players[a+1 if a < players.size()-1 else b] print(a) a+=1 can_move = false
As you can see, this method allows me to change the player cam position and its called by a signal after the Tween is done
