Camera3D Not following the target at all in Godot 4.7 (Solved: Common Mistake)

[Fuzzycc]

Hello,

I am using Godot 4.7 and have downloaded this addon.

But nothing seem to happen at all. I tried Follow Target and Look At modes, and none of them does anything.

I can see my character (a quick CharacterBody3D) moving around but the Camera remains static, neither following (in Follow Mode) nor rotating to keep looking at (in Look At mode) the player.

This is my scene tree:

... I actually found the solution, but decided to post here nonetheless.

In my haste, the quickly made testing character was Node3D as root, and CharacterBody3D as a child.
It moved just fine in the main scene... but in reality, the CB3D was moving whilst its parent Node3D was likely stationary in place.

Indeed, making the CharacterBody3D as the root and testing again, the Camera started following...

Whilst this is a basic mistake, and perhaps unrelated to this addon, it might happen to some others because I remained fully unaware of it until the camera did not work as intended.

Was it because you set the follow / look at target to be the parent Node3D (the Player node in the screenshot above) that it didn't follow the CharacterBody3d, or did you not apply a follow / look at target to the PCam3D?

Seeing the inspector properties for the PCam3D would help a lot in better understanding it 😄
