Stopping the camera following the cursor.

Seiferrr

Hello.
Sorry for my english.

When I enable the Follow Cursor setting in the Game Camera 2d component.

Is it possible to stop the camera following the cursor when hovering the mouse over a certain tagged hotspot. At the same time, so that the camera movement resumes if I remove the cursor from the hotspot.

Thanks

You can't pause the effects of the cursor on the camera - reducing the panning factor or disabling it will cause the camera to revert to its original position.

You'd instead have to switch to a separate Camera that's positioned over the Hotspot.

To do so when a given Hotspot is selected, attach a custom script to it that hooks into the OnHotspotSelect / OnHotspotDeselect custom events:

using UnityEngine;
using AC;

public class HotspotCamera : MonoBehaviour
{

    public GameCamera2D normalCamera;
    public GameCamera2D hotspotCamera;
    public float transitionTime = 0.3f;

    void OnEnable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnHotspotSelect += OnHotspotSelect;
        EventManager.OnHotspotDeselect += OnHotspotDeselect;
    }

    void OnDisable ()
    {
        EventManager.OnHotspotSelect -= OnHotspotSelect;
        EventManager.OnHotspotDeselect -= OnHotspotDeselect;
    }

    void OnHotspotSelect (Hotspot hotspot)
    {
        if (hotspot.gameObject == gameObject && KickStarter.mainCamera.attachedCamera == normalCamera)
        {
            KickStarter.mainCamera.SetGameCamera (hotspotCamera, transitionTime);
        }
    }

    void OnHotspotDeselect (Hotspot hotspot)
    {
        if (hotspot.gameObject == gameObject && KickStarter.mainCamera.attachedCamera == hotspotCamera)
        {
            KickStarter.mainCamera.SetGameCamera (normalCamera, transitionTime);
        }
    }

}
