Is there a way to get the rect2 of the camera, instead of the viewport?

Question

I'm making a game where I want the player to be limited inside what the camera can see, and have the camera move around. However, when I use getviewportrect(), it only returns the viewport stuck at 0,0. Is there something I can do that gets the camera's viewport instead?

Answer 1

I couldn't find any built-in function for it, so you'll have to calculate it by making a Rect2 out of the camera's position and the viewport's size:

extends Camera2D

func get_camera_rect() -> Rect2:
    var pos = get_camera_position() # Camera's center
    var half_size = get_viewport_rect().size * 0.5
    return Rect2(pos - half_size, pos + half_size)

func _ready() -> void:
    print(get_camera_position()) # (403, 147)
    print(get_viewport_rect().size) # (1024, 600)
    print(get_camera_rect()) # (-109, -153, 915, 447)
