I’m trying to make an infinite level for a platformer game. At the end of level, I update player’s position to the other end, which looks exactly the same, to make it looks infinite.

It works fine with a normal Camera2D. With a smoothed Camera2D, the camera moves to the other end with smoothed animation.

How can I update the camera’s position without affecting the smoothness?

Try setting the Camera’s position directly.

It does not work. The camera will animate to the updated position.

Turn off the smoothness temporarily?

I’ve tried that too, not working :frowning:

camera.smoothing_enabled = false
camera.position = updated_position
# add yield(get_tree(), "idle_frame") here won't work either
camera.smoothing_enabled = true

After testing - try duplicating the yield line. It seems to work when there’s two of them for some reason.

Thank you!

Late answer, but the function reset_smoothing ( ) seems to do that:
