2D Playertype

[Choi]

Can a player type have a camera that goes a distance sideways from the player and locks sideways movement and turning? Like a 2D platformer

Make edits to the top down player type = there you go!

if only it was that simple, you can only change the camera angle for third person along the forwards axis you can't go to the side

also its possible by setting your camera to an invisible bot that follows your player from the side

It would literally require an engine edit to make this possible.

frankly, I have no idea what I was doing, I was messing around with code for cameras and I got this

Hm looks good.
I would use this and then maybe resize the player so it looks more flat.

I made a suggestion about this a long time ago, and in fact contacted Space Guy about it back in March.

Has nobody at all tried anything on it since that first topic? I did about 10min testing with orbit cameras just now and got something relevant...

I never found out what he meant by this.

Anyway, I think 2D cameras should work a lot like they do in games like the Paper Mario series, most notably the first and second of the games (4th is pretty similar too I guess, minor changes).

decent gameplay video I found

Just skip around to whenever Mario is just walking around and you'll see what I mean.
