How do I assign a phantom Camera to an Area2D and set its limits?

[itzjeppy]

So I am making a 2D platformer levels, and the levels are in a "Room" system like Megaman or Metroid, and each room can be of various shapes and sizes, and I use an area2d with rectangle collision box to mark each room's boundaries. So the thing is that when I move from one room to another room, there would be a tween transition between the rooms like in the above mentioned games, so I want the camera to limit to each room's Area2d, how would I do that, and how would I assign a new phantomcamera to each room?

There's a Limit property for each PCam2D node, where you can assign a Limit Node as either a CollisionShape2D (as a child node of an Area2D) or a TileMap.

There is a 2D example scene called 2d_limit_example_scene.tscn inside the examples directory of the addon that demonstrates it.

It works when follow mode is none, but when I set follow mode to simple, the camera overrides the limits, no longer following the limits I set, how to fix it??

Would you be able to share either a minimal reproduction project or a screen capture?
Am not able to replicate the issue you're describing.

Here's my project

Found the issue.

It doesn't work because you're only assigning the name of the Node in the camera.set_limit_target("CollisionShape2D") inside ChangeCamera.gd.To get it to work, the parameter needs to be a full NodePath. When supplying an invalid NodePath value, it basically resets the limit that you've applied from the inspector. It probably should return an error and prevent resetting the limit, so will add that in as an update soon.

A working code example would then look like:

Thank you! I didn't know get_path() was a function in the first place lol
