Camera Filters in a 2D game.

Rem

Hey

I'm making a 2D Cat Lady type game (I'm the developer of TCL btw), where player can move right/left only. I love the camera panning in and out upon walking onto triggers etc. and I've "almost" made the interface work for direct keyboard/controller (still learning but I am hopeful I can do it ).

But I would love to use the asset package for camera effects and it doesn't seem to be working... I'm talking about this specific asset:

Is it because my cameras are 2d? I made a camera that's not AC 2D camera and while the its position wasn't right it seemed the effects applied were there. When I drag and drop the script onto AC camera the script gets added but to no effect at all.

Any ideas how to make it work?...

Thanks

To get camera effects to work, put the scripts on the Main Cam, not the 2dGameCam

That works! Thank you so much!

Never thought these effects would look so GOOD on a 2D game... Wow

But I have another noob question... - How do I switch effects on and off? At first I thought I'd make another 2D camera and use Camera: switch to smoothly switch to camera with effects script applied to it. But with Main Camera I can't really do that...

You'll either have to write a script or custom action that enables/disables the effect, or - if the effect can be controlled through an inspector - control the exposed values in an animator controller and play them back using the Object: Animate Action.

I've figured out how to do it by writing a simple script (my first Unity script! lol .

The effect indeed can be animated for smooth transition but that seems harder to do... and I think I'm good for now Thanks
