Camera shake

Shake layer cameras.

Authors and contributors to this community extension: VictrisGames, D8H, fuzzy.

Shake layer cameras with translation, rotation and zoom.

  • Short shaking can be used to give impact (explosion, hit)
  • Shaking can go indefinitely to set an ambiance (engine vibration, earthquake, pulsing)
  • Low frequency shaking allows to simulate slow moving objects (ship rocking back and forth)

Release notes:

  • Version 3.0.0
    • No adaptation of the game events is needed.
    • It fixes an issue when used with scrolling, the amplitude will feel bigger in this case.
    • The shaking relies on noise which could feel a bit different.
    • This extension can no longer do impulses. For this, another extension "Camera impulse" can be used.

Tip

Learn how to install new extensions by following a step-by-step guide.

Actions

Default rotation amplitude
Change the default rotation amplitude of the shaking (in degrees).

Default shaking frequency
Change the default number of back and forth per seconds.

Default translation amplitude
Change the default translation amplitude of the shaking (in pixels).

Default zoom amplitude
Change the default zoom factor amplitude of the shaking. The shaking will zoom and unzoom by this factor (for instance 1.0625 is a valid value).

Layer rotation amplitude
Change the rotation amplitude of the shaking (in degrees).

Shakable layer
Mark a layer as shakable.

Layer shaking frequency
Change the number of back and forth per seconds.

Layer translation amplitude
Change the translation amplitude of the shaking (in pixels).

Layer zoom amplitude
Change the zoom factor amplitude of the shaking. The shaking will zoom and unzoom by this factor (for instance 1.0625 is a valid value).

Shake camera
Shake the camera on layers chosen with configuration actions.

Start camera shaking
Start shaking the camera indefinitely.

Stop camera shaking
Stop shaking the camera.

Conditions

Camera is shaking
Check if the camera is shaking.
