FOR ANYONE HAVING ISSUES WITH SMOOTH CAMERA
use the camera code in a script, as seen in the video then copy and paste this code into your character. (if using dnd you can place an "execute code" block, put it in your steps, and paste it there.) you can change the .025 numbers to adjust how tightly the camera follows the player.


var target_x = x - cam_w()/2
var target_y = y - 150
var camX = lerp(cam_x(), target_x, .025)
var camY = lerp(cam_y(), target_y, .025)
camera_set_view_pos(
view_camera[0],
camX,
camY
)

Nice tutorial, thank you :)

After a few failed attempts to add the smooth camera effect though, I've just copied and pasted your ShorterCamera script and your "view follow player" code, its all works except that smooth camera isn't doing anything, there's absolutely no ease-in no matter what the settings are.
Is there something in the inspector settings in viewports and cameras or anywhere else that could be causing this?
Thanks

Can you make a smooth camera in drag and drop only?
