Translate and rotate

QuickTurtle

Hello,

I'm trying to create a small game where the player character is in the center of the screen and when he's rotating, the world/map is rotating (the pivot is the player at the center of the screen). When the player is moving, it's translating the map to the direction.

I thought it will work with the Camera2D but if I set the current flag, the screen content is rotating and translating too (UI too).

How can I do it ?

Thank you.

On the Camera2D, set rotating to true. Then attach a script to the camera that just locks it to the player position and rotation.

extends Camera2D

onready var player = get_parent().get_node("Player")

func _physics_process(delta):
	position = player.position
	rotation = player.rotation

You can optionally enable smoothing on the camera or set an offset so that the player screen position is exactly what you need. For UI elements, they need to be on a CanvasLayer.

Thank you. It's working perfectly. I changed it to move the Camera2D inside the Player.
