Trigger Boundaries

Overview

The Boundaries Trigger is used to change the camera numeric boundaries during gameplay. Once the camera enters the trigger shape (either a circle or a rectangle) the camera transitions to the newly defined boundaries. This is useful in various situations but most commonly can be used to create room constrained cameras that switch when the player passes a door. A common usage is also on platformers where the camera gains a new bottom boundary depending on which platform the player is on.

Parameters:

• Update Interval (>0): For performance reasons the trigger collision is only tested at a fixed interval. This value represents that interval. Adjust it to fit your needs
• Trigger Shape: Either a circle or a rectangle. You can scale it like you do any other GameObject
• Are Boundaries Relative: If enabled, the boundaries are relative to the position of the trigger. If disabled, the boundaries are world positions
• Use Top Boundary: The value of the top boundary
• Use Bottom Boundary: The value of the bottom boundary
• Use Left Boundary: The value of the left boundary
• Use Right Boundary: The value of the right boundary
• Transition Duration: How long it takes to change to the new boundaries
• Transition Ease Type: The animation type of the boundaries transition
• Use Targets Mid Point: If enabled, the trigger will use the camera targets mid point to know when to activate. If not, you can pass it a GameObject reference that the trigger will use instead
• Change Zoom: If enabled, the trigger will also change camera zoom
  • Zoom Amount: How much should the camera zoom once it enters the trigger
  • Zoom Smoothness: The smoothness of the zoom transition
• Set As Starting Boundaries: If enabled, the camera will use these boundaries at start
