Inspired Zooming / Camera focus

[maiden blaze]

I've always wanted a function like in DayZ or Arma where you can focus your camera on something that's a bit far away in the distance, so I decided to create my own simple one.

This wont be released for now, but who knows in the future 🙂

EDIT: Zoom distance and animation speed is configurable 🙂

And ofcourse, it's W.I.P 🙂 Suggestions are more than welcome

This is really nice. Does it mess with the FOV or are you using some other method?

[maiden blaze]

Yeah FOV! Gotta finetune it tho, as I think people have different FOVs and when it returns, it gotta read the client FOV, as now it’s just set on a static default FOV for returning back from the zoom, and the zoom and animation is also configurable for smoother / faster zooms and further / closer zoom

[plain herald]

I wonder if you can also increase LOD with something like this:

But called every frame might be intense

[maiden blaze]

Oh wow, gotta use this when I get back to the pc

[maiden blaze]

This is really good. As I had to manually use maxed out extended distance scaling lol, this would do it temporarily, I wonder if there will be any stuttering using this when zooming in for lower-end pcs

  SetFocusArea(pos)

or this

[maiden blaze]

Oooo nice gotta integrate that

[soft peak]

make sure to use ClearFocus() when done

or the focus wont reset

[maiden blaze]

So the effect is like the effect when closer items get blurred or?

Gotta try it out, I’m on my phone right now

Thanks for the suggestions @plain herald and @soft peak

Two legends in one thread goddamn

[maiden blaze]

Added in both of your suggestions, thank you guys!

Update for smoothness and LOD

• Updated so there is no potato graphics when zooming in / out, there were som issues with the camera render. Thanks to Maji and Snipe! ❤️
• Added config for smoothness of the zooming.

Used to be like this for 1-2 frames when zooming in before update.

you have to make sure to delete the cameras properly when you use it

if you dont, thats what you get

and make sure you dont create more than 1 camera

I think there is a limit on how many cameras you can have active

always destroy camera when you are done

[maiden blaze]

Yeah, gotta finetune it a bit more
