Camera Jump Instead of pan?

[xronn]

Hi, using phaser 1.1.3 is there a way I can make the camera jump to the next section of the map instead of panning it across when the player moves. For example if he reaches the edge of the visible screen when he takes one more step the camera jumps to him loading the next section of the map?

Thanks!

If the Camera is following a sprite, you'll need to unfollow the sprite. Reposition the camera and then re-follow again.

At the moment the camera is just static when the player reaches the world boarder I want to jump the camera over. 

So I could do like when the player collides with the world border, camera follow player then stop following the player?

If it's static then you don't need to follow at all, just re-position it when you're ready.

Thanks for the reply Rich in 1.1.3 I see in the documentation - 

 

setPosition(X, Y);

 

This the correct function?

Try it and see Failing that just set the view x/y properties directly.

Just to add - x/y coordinates MUST be within the world bounds.

The only problem is detecting when the player hits the edge of the camera like shown here -
