cameras

Call cam.startFollow(player, false, 0.1, 0.1) where the lerp values control smoothness—lower values track more smoothly. You can adjust later with setLerp and setFollowOffset, and add a deadzone with setDeadzone so the camera only moves when the target leaves a rectangle.

Add a second camera with this.cameras.add(x, y, width, height), set a low zoom like 0.2, and position its viewport in a corner. Use ignore() on each camera so the minimap skips HUD objects and the main camera skips minimap-only content.

The viewport is the on-canvas rectangle where the camera renders, set with setPosition or setViewport. Scroll is where the camera looks in the game world, set with setScroll or scrollX/scrollY. They are independent—scrolling never moves the viewport rectangle.

Camera effects like fade, flash, shake, pan, and zoomTo do not restart while already running unless you pass force: true. Check the effect's isRunning property or pass the force flag to interrupt the current effect.

Yes, Phaser 4 cameras have filters.internal and filters.external FilterLists, so you can call cam.filters.external.addBlur() or addGlow(). Filters require WebGL and framebuffer rendering, which you can force with setForceComposite(true).

Only the first 32 cameras receive unique bitmask IDs for Game Object exclusion via ignore(). Cameras beyond 32 get ID 0 and cannot exclude objects, so keep ignore-based setups within that limit.
