I've been trying to get experience, and I want to do something that I guess might be kinda flashy in terms of a main menu. I want to have a camera showing a scene, and three prompts, "play" "customize" and 'settings", I want the camera to somewhat follow the mouses movements, but that's not the main issue, I mainly need help figuring out how to have the camera move to a customize area once the button is pressed, and once the camera gets to the destination, an animation of the character plays, and then you can start customizing, after you finish I want another animation to play then the player to be able to go back to the original main menu given the same 3 original prompts, and on top of all that I want there to be an animation if the player presses "play". does anyone know good videos to watch in order to achieve this? or just advice in general? open to any kind of ideas as I mainly just want experience with complex camera movements in a main menu.

do you want it to be kinda like gta camera movement when you select a button?
Because if im thinking properly right for once your going to need to place a transparent block at the destination to get its position. But this will take a lot of scripting
sweet mantle
more or less, i've experimented a bit with basic camera moving in a main menu, specifically for a play button animation, and for that you need transparent blocks for destinations, and you use tween to get there, but I don't really know how to do it when there are multiple different different inputs/ how to get back to original menu

lots of scripting needed but more than willing to do it to learn
vernal girder
umm so what i would do because yes you need a way to return back screens so lemme create something ill show u the idea i cant descibe it to well

Something like this for the GUI I feel would work well for your case
have a transparent background so you can see the camera view
than first three list your different tabs while the white shows what your currently on
and you have to create 3 different GUIS to begin with im assuming so its nothing to much extra but this allows you to jump around the GUIs and it not be confusing
oh what you could do is like this be the standard start screen and in white do like version number have 4 guis and when you click one of the options it scales up and changes font color and also if you attacht the script to this to pan to the postion of the tranparent block I can see it running smoothly
just scriping this will suck so badly

I'm willing to go through the scripting to get experience, I don't rlly care what the gui looks like right now opposed to getting it to work right, I'm more concerned with being able to move the camera to a customization area, moving the camera to that area, then playing an animation and then giving options for customization with a way to go back to the original main menu
quick example of kinda what I want to do
vernal girder
oh those are examples holy i thought u did that i was abt to say ur to advanced for my help XD

well like i said the example i sent allows for ur camera to pan but dosent allow for the detail you want
actually i take that back so the main GUI can have your detail the example i sent that can be your side guis when you click one of those buttons
do u want me to send u scripts bc im kinda intreged now
sweet mantle
i’m down to try a couple scripts if you send them over yeah, anything to help me understand it all better
vernal girder
well ive already been warned about "spoon feeding" so sadly I cant send them over. DIdnt know there where things againts it
but I can verify and scripts u do have
sweet mantle
it’s all good, i’m working on UI rn so no scripts at the moment but once i do write some of i get into some trouble i’ll send them here
