Camera & Navigation Improvements [Beta]

@chudnoi_com I tried my best to understand, if I didn’t understand right please let me know. I recommend you get used to the new camera navigation. It can be toggled on/off by using the beta features menu. You can find the menu by going to file in the top right, and then selecting beta features in the dropdown menu. Then look for camera navigation improvements. In the future this will be the new navigation in studio, which is why you should get used to it.

i cant even use studio properly since i use the scroll wheel to look around 24/7.

I do indeed use the ‘F’ key to teleport to objects, since it is faster and easier than manually moving there. I also use the scroll wheel to zoom around. Thank you for the knowledge.

This change seems beneficial, and I am glad that settings will be implemented that allow the features to be disabled, however I do have a few critiques.

I feel like it may be better to separate the camera speed customizability tooltip separate from the view selector and allow it to have its own button in the view tab to clear up confusion. It may also be beneficial to either add a setting that removes the ability to click on it, or move the tool tip to a different location because it gets in the way of some plugins.

One final note, I’m not sure if this is intended or not, but when turning off the view selector (and the camera speed tooltip) pressing ctrl and scrolling will still change the camera speed, even when the tool tip is not visible.

Where in settings can I disable it? Don’t know where it is or what it’s called.

File → Studio Settings.

In the menu that appears, you should see Studio on the left, and then camera at the top. Here you can disable “Camera Focus Adapts Speed” to stop focusing on an object causing you to slow down or speed up. You can not change the right mouse button behavior yet though.

Worst update in roblox history… :neutral_face:

What bothers me about it is, you cant hold right click and scroll at the same time anymore while building (unless you want to change camera speed) I did not realize how often I do that until this feature was enabled, this is my problem though lol.
Also you cant move the camera after deleting an object unless you click first, is this a bug?
The camera also wont work in run mode.
the speed changing is cool though, however players will be quite confused about what is happening unless a tutorial is added for using the camera.

I 100% agree with this post. I hold right-click more than I thought after it was activated, had to deactivate it.

Please change the method from (RMB + Scroll Wheel) to (Left Shift + Scroll Wheel). Putting it on RMB disables the use of turning the camera while zooming. It’s just much more natural feeling if it were to be on shift.

I like these changes, however I agree with @SushiWalrus and that the shortcut for changing camera speed (RMB + Scroll), so it should be changed to something else.

This is very bad for people like me that use scroll + rmb to move and look. I thought it was a bug because i was very fast and sometimes changing speeds. Please change the keybind.

Hey all, just a quick update that the above changes are now live in Studio!

To disable RMB + Scroll Wheel for Speed Adjustment, disable the “Scroll Wheel Adjusts Free-Camera Speed” in Studio Settings. Once disabled, you’ll still be able to change camera speed using the slider under the view selector, which is visible when you hover over the area.
The Lag spikes/frame drops and the regression involving moving the camera in server view mode has also been fixed, but please let us know if you see persisting or new issues!

I feel like this feature should either be disabled by default or bound to something else than right mouse click + scrollwheel OR let users configure this feature in shortcuts.
I really use the right mouse button and the scroll wheel at the same time a lot and thought it was a bug before finding out it was a feature, it really has been bugging me for the past days.

I am glad I can disable this feature in studio settings though.

Also, I think a possible bug (unless it’s an intended feature): If you click F on an object to focus your camera on it, the speed kinda resets I think.

Will we be able to change it via keybind or is it only “Disable” or “enable”

Huge changes for the better, and thanks for solving some of the issues that there were before. I think this is going to be a net positive update!

I like this feature a lot and it has come more useful as I get used to it. The problem is (and I do realize this is a beta feature) that there’s not a lot of customization to it. I think it would be better off if we could change the activation key bind (which is currently right click) to whatever we would like. I do like being able to scroll to move forward, especially in my games with smaller maps, but I also like changing the camera speed when it comes to my bigger maps. Just my thoughts on this.

Thank you, from the deepest bottom of my heart :heart:
Now this update has a big potential !

After this update Ive noticed that sometimes the scrollwheel wont work at all but when I load a different game in studio it does.

Edit: somehow it fixed itself ¯_(ツ)_/¯
