To anyone having trouble making this work with Godot 4, replace the code after "transitioning = true" at 3:42 with this and it should work: tween = create_tween() tween.set_parallel(true) tween.set_ease(Tween.EASE_IN_OUT) tween.set_trans(Tween.TRANS_CUBIC) tween.tween_property(camera3D, "global_transform", to.global_transform, duration).from(camera3D.global_transform) tween.tween_property(camera3D, "fov", to.fov, duration).from(camera3D.fov) # Wait for the tween to complete await tween.finished
This generates a slew of errors for me sadly, do you have any idea why?: Line 3:Could not find type "Camera" in the current scope. Line 4:Cannot assign a value of type Node to variable "tween" with specified type Tween. Line 14:Could not find type "Camera" in the current scope. Line 14:Could not find type "Camera" in the current scope.

Exactly. Kind of like Cinemachine in Unity, where they have a number of "virtual cameras" and main camera switches or transitions between them. The only caveat is that you can have different camera settings on cameras (e.g. cull layers) which could be useful, but with a single camera copying those settings is extra work.
If you're trying to tween to a moving camera, create a variable to hold a "tween.follow_property()" and then set the 4th argument of interpolate_property() to the variable.
Thanks for the video, appreciated! As always, I dislike all the drastic changes whenever a new version of godot is released. The difference between 3 and 4 is just staggering. You get contributors changing the names of functions because for them, it's "weird". As a beginner coder just doing this for fun, it's extremely frustrating as most of the tutorials in existence are from version 3. I should have just started with version 3! It seems like the "current" property was removed from Camera2D (again, as some contributor felt it was "weird", urgh) and replaced with "enabled". Note that it's not "is_current", but "enabled". So in the code from this video, instead of using "camera2D.current = false", use "camera2D.enabled = false".

Thank you for the tutorial!!! 😊 My solution for godot 4.1.1 (Usage 3D CameraMovements) ===========FIxing============================= Have to change > 1. @onready var camera: Camera3D = $Camera > @onready var camera3D: Camera3D = $Camera 2. func transition_camera3D(from: Camera, to: Camera, duration: float = 1.0) -> void: >func transition_camera3D(from: Camera3D, to: Camera3D, duration: float = 1.0) -> void: 3. add *var* tween infront of it (Copy @vinnmarty Comment Code from above) 4. Remove 2D camera. Apparently the 2D camera block my ui. ==========APPLYING========== 1. Create new Function for u to call about in your scene : func CameraTransitionAnimation() -> void: CameraTransition.transition_camera3D(Camera1,Camera2, 3.0) 2. Put in call method in animation player to switch to the camera.
I respectfully disagree on this method. Though there are many ways of getting the same result, this is over complicating the solution. You shouldn't need more cameras unless you are using those cameras. You should rewrite this code using the Position3D node instead if all you care is about position. Better yet, use Path and PathFollow nodes for better control of camera movement.
This is a transition camera. The whole point of my solution is to not move your other cameras, that way you don't have to remember their original postion or whatever. I think this is not complicated at all, especially in terms of usage, you simply call a function..
@@mrelipteach The problem isn't the function at all, it is that cameras are being used as place-markers when simpler nodes can achieve the same effect. I think this is better grasped if you think of it in terms of scalability. I would rather have 100 Position3D nodes rather than 100 cameras for efficiency sake.
I thought about this as well, and at the beginning would have agreed, but then I thought about two things that make this system work well: 1. you can reference, set and animate all of the other camera parameters (could make a custom class extending node3D) 2. Get a preview of what that camera will be looking at, quickly, tweak it, move it, trash it. This is a boost in workflow, often undervalued i find. Specifically 2. is sometimes priceless when you either looking for the right angle or just tweaking it to perfection
I'm on Godot 4 and everything involving tween doesn't work. Actually all I want to do is to make my camera 2D slide to a Marker2D's position. Is there an easier way to do that?
@DevRealm is right. Just to add to this, it depends what "better" is for you. GDScript is made for Godot, so its really well integrated and it probably has more tutorials using it. For most games, it's probably fast enough. The major bonus is that it's easy to write. Now, if you prefer C# or you need it because you want to integrate some C# library, it's a different story. Also C# might give you some performance boost if you need to do some specific things.

Thanks for your comment! This also works with 3.5 as the SceneTreeTween was added in 3.5

@@jorisoosterbeek9440 is your "camera" a variable? or a built in type?

The real red pill is to only have one camera and just move it where you want it.
it might work in some games for sure!
The only true way

can you elaborate on this?
I swear I was just trying to do this with not much luck literally last night. Tysm for this you saved me a lot of time ;)

Great video. Can you make a video explaining Class and Classname and what they are used for, please?
My alternative way is to teleport a Marker3D to the target location first, then Tween the camera towards it.
Very helpful very fast! thank you thank you!

My solution for godot 4.1.1
(Usage 3D CameraMovements)
===========FIxing=============================
Have to change >
1. @onready var camera: Camera3D = $Camera >
@onready var camera3D: Camera3D = $Camera
2. func transition_camera3D(from: Camera, to: Camera, duration: float = 1.0) -> void:
>func transition_camera3D(from: Camera3D, to: Camera3D, duration: float = 1.0) -> void:
3. add *var* tween infront of it
(Copy @vinnmarty Comment Code from above)
4. Remove 2D camera.
Apparently the 2D camera block my ui.
==========APPLYING==========
1. Create new Function for u to call about in your scene :
func CameraTransitionAnimation() -> void:
CameraTransition.transition_camera3D(Camera1,Camera2, 3.0)
2. Put in call method in animation player to switch to the camera.
But what if camera that i want to switch to is moving?Transition camera goes at wrong place because camera that i want to switch to is gone.
Use the follow_property function from the tween node instead
@@jatoxo How would you do that?

Yeah the tween node doesn't exist in Godot 4, you have to use Tween just from code docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/classes/class_tween.html
i cant find a tween node
Tween node doesn't exist in Godot 4. It's just a Tween class now similar to SceneTreeTween in Godot 3
do you know if you can use both 2d and 3d in 1 game in godot?
There's a Godot demo for 2D in 3D, that can be helpful godotengine.org/asset-library/asset/129
@@mrelipteach thank you
Nice idea, but where is your Global camera?
What do you mean where is it? In the tutorial I create a scene that I put in autoload. In the scene there are two cameras: a 2D camera and a 3D one
Are you used c# or gd script?
Which one is better for Godot
@DevRealm is right. Just to add to this, it depends what "better" is for you. GDScript is made for Godot, so its really well integrated and it probably has more tutorials using it. For most games, it's probably fast enough. The major bonus is that it's easy to write.
Now, if you prefer C# or you need it because you want to integrate some C# library, it's a different story. Also C# might give you some performance boost if you need to do some specific things.
I can't find how this method is working in godot 4
It's the same idea but Camera.current is now Camera.enabled
