How to make differents screens

[sudden swift]

Hi, I am currently creating a 2D platforme inspiring by Celeste and I would like to do a screen gameplay like celeste. A camera for each screen and a pause game transition between cameras (and checkpoints at each beginning of screen but it's not for now). I don't know if my explanations are clear sorry if not 😅

Got a reference?

You want a video to understand what I'm talking about?

Yeah, hit me with a timestamp

Check when he's switching between rooms https://youtu.be/SJVkIafaS1M?si=3476n8kPpPVIN3Sa

It's just a single camera. All it does it lerp to the next screen when entering it, or you could look into cinemachine and use virtual cameras which will do it for you

[sudden swift]

Yeah but I don't know how to do it, I said switch cameras but it's what I think of first lmao

I'd just do coroutines for the sake of learning them if you haven't already

Enter a new room -> disable/pause the controller -> invoke a coroutine to lerp the camera to the next position -> await till coroutine finishes -> enable the controller

To trigger the transition I'd just populate entry points with some boxcolliders then use some ontrigger logic to invoke the coroutine

Also to make life a lot easier, when you enter a new room, just spawn the tiles (same way you spawned the current room tiles) somewhere nearby in the scene

At the same time you regain control, you can also destroy the old tiles

Oh wow, I see, how can I do that?

I don't know the 2D tools all that well, but if you can save the room layout/content as a prefab, then you would instantiate that at some position
I second Mao's suggestion for coroutines, it's ideal practice

[sudden swift]

Oh yeah, it's a pretty good Idea, thanks

[stiff wind]

In a way, those are your screens!

[sudden swift]

I see, thanks you for that tip

[stiff wind]

No worries
