Camera shake

Shake layer cameras.

Authors and contributors to this experimental 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.

Technical note: parameters 0, 2 are internal parameters handled by GDevelop.

Technical note: this action internal type (in GDevelop JSON) is CameraShake::SetDefaultRotationAmplitude.

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

See parameters & details

Parameter 1 (🔢 Number): Frequency

Technical note: parameters 0, 2 are internal parameters handled by GDevelop.

Technical note: this action internal type (in GDevelop JSON) is CameraShake::SetDefaultShakingFrequency.

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

See parameters & details
