,Hello

How can i constrict the camera so that it can not look outside of a certain area?

I read in old answers (2 years ago) that there is no support for this requirement, is there anything new about it?

Hi there,

Unfortunately, we haven’t gotten to this one yet, but we have an issue for it. I’ll link to your forum post so we can update you when we get a chance to handle it.

:I found a workaround to return the camera to the first location, if it moved out of given radius
