Auto-Orbit Camera for Game Creator 2

Auto-Orbit Camera for Game Creator 2

• Build cinematic, gamepad-friendly third-person camera behavior inspired by modern action games like Batman Arkham City or God of War, directly inside Game Creator 2.
• This Auto-Orbit Camera system keeps the player framed cleanly during traversal and combat, while still giving full manual control when needed.
• Designed for responsive character games, it combines intelligent automatic orbiting, combat-aware focus, speed-based framing, and robust smoothing controls so camera motion feels intentional instead of noisy.

Core Features

==========

Smart Auto-Orbit

• Automatically rotates toward a natural behind-the-character framing during movement, with configurable behavior for directional changes.

Manual Override + Recovery

• Player camera input instantly takes priority. Auto behavior resumes smoothly after a configurable recovery window.

Return Delay + Engage Delay

• Fine-tune when auto-orbit starts and when it returns to forward framing. Great for preventing "snappy" camera reactions.

Delay Smoothing

• Both engage and return flows are smoothly blended to avoid hard transitions.

Direction-Change Aware Delay Reset

• Optional reset logic when movement direction flips (for example D -> A or W -> S) so delay behavior feels consistent and readable.

Manual Pitch Controls

• Full pitch control with optional invert pitch toggle.

Shoulder Offset

• Over-the-shoulder composition with configurable horizontal offset.

Look Ahead

• Optional forward look-ahead framing for stronger speed and direction readability.

Rotation & Position Smoothing

• Independent smoothing behavior to reduce jitter and create stable cinematic motion.

Combat Focus System

• Blend framing between player and combat target using weighted focus values (for example target-priority vs player-priority framing).

Speed Framing (Arkham-style behavior)

• At configurable movement speed thresholds, the camera can:
• Increase orbit distance up to a defined maximum
• Optionally add FOV boost at high speed
• Optionally reduce/nullify shoulder offset for cleaner high-speed centering
• Smoothly ramp in and ramp out using separate in/out smoothing parameters
• Preset Workflow
• Save, capture, and apply camera presets quickly for rapid iteration across shots.

Debug Tools & Editor Camera Presets

• Built-in debug controls to inspect and tune camera state during gameplay.
• Create Setting Presets

Why It Feels Better In-Game

• This camera avoids the common third-person problems: sudden snaps, left-right indecision, and transition wobble when movement changes quickly.
• The system is built to produce clean, arcing transitions and stable framing under real gameplay input, including fast reversals and combat pressure.

Best For

• Third-person action/adventure games
• Melee combat systems
• Character-driven traversal and sprint gameplay
• Developers using Game Creator 2 who want cinematic-but-responsive & gamepade-friendly camera control
