Move Camera with Mouse

[Scheikowski]

I've already searched for it but i couldn't find any script. What I'm looking for is move the camera with mouse like in all strategy games. If player brings mouse cursor to right border of the screen then camera moves to the right. If up then camera moves to the up.

I made this plugin for you
I added some parameters so you can choose how close the mouse should be by the border in order to move the camera and at which speed.
I also added a option for if you want the camera to always show the player when they are moving.

You can also use a plugin command to turn of/on the plugin: CameraMouseMove On/Off/Toggle

Thanks a lot Magnus0808. This is exactly what I want!

 

[Zack Phoenix]

This is gonna be essential for any game using one of the tactical combat plugins! And just super useful all around. Thanks!

 

[Sunjean]

Just what I was looking for!
Tested it just now, and it works like a charm Found move speed 0.20 to be perfect.

Thank you Magnus0808.
