How to make an invisible wall that prevents the player from moving back

Question

I have tried attaching a StaticBody2D to my camera but that doesnt work and i tried making a wall that moves if the player is pressing right but that does work the way i want it to. How do i make an invisible wall that is always on the left of the camera.

Do you have anymore details on what you did to try the staticbody solution?

Why not? Works fine for me.

Why not? How do you want it to work then?

Answer 1

So i found a better solution i get the end of my canvas transform get_canvas_transform() then get the position on the end of my canvas to the origin

func _process(delta):
var ctrans = get_canvas_transform()
var min_pos = -ctrans.get_origin() / ctrans.get_scale()
position.x = min_pos.x

i got the code for finding the camera end position from this question https://godotengine.org/qa/13740/get-camera-extents-rect-2d

so now instead of checking if the player is in the area2D for the wall to move the wall will just move if the camera moves.

Answer 2

So I managed to make the camera move with an invisible wall behind it i just made a camera2d with an area2d and staticbody2d and made a script that move the camera2d pos.x if the player is out of the area. Not sure if it is the best solution to my problem but it works.
