Forward Focus

Overview

The Forward Focus extension compensates the targets movement by adding some room in front of them in order to focus on what’s coming ahead. It’s a must-have feature in most 2D action games.

Parameters:

• Progressive: If enabled, the camera will move to the focus position progressively according to the targets speed. If disabled the camera will move directly to the focus position
• Speed Multiplier (>= 0): Only available if Progressive field is enabled. This field represents a value by which to multiply the targets speed in case their speed is not sufficient to reach the focus position
• Transition Smoothness (>= 0): Represents how smooth the transition of the focus position should be. The lower the number the quickest the transition is
• Maintain Influence On Stop: If enabled, once the target stops moving the forward focus stays on stationary. If disabled it returns to zero on stop
• Left Focus (0 - 1): How much should the camera compensate when moving left (in normalised viewport space)
• Right Focus (0 - 1): How much should the camera compensate when moving right (in normalised viewport space)
• Up Focus (0 - 1): How much should the camera compensate when moving up (in normalised viewport space)
• Down Focus (0 - 1): How much should the camera compensate when moving down (in normalised viewport space)
