2D Aimed Follow Camera

Usage:

• Add the Script AimCameraComponent to your camera.
• In the component parameters add your player.
• Adjust other parameters to your liking.

How It works:

To move the camera, the viewport mouse position is used, meaning it works relative to the screen size.

Suppose we are always drawing a line from the player to the mouse. We will define distance as the point on this line where the camera is placed, measured from 0 to 1, where 0 is the player's position and 1 is the mouse's position.

the script defines 3 mouse zones:

• form player to InnerZone: where the distance will always be 0, so the camera won't move at all.
• form InnerZone to OuterZone: where distance will be interpolated between 0 and MaxDistance using the specified Curve.
• from OuterZone to the edge of the screen: where the distance will always be equal to MaxDistance.

because the areas are measured relative to the screen size, they will be bigger on the x-axis than on the y-axis.
