Hello again!
I believe I found a bug so I came straight to the forum to ask about it 
When I set zoomToMouseLocation
to true
on ArcRotateCamera
(cool feature btw
) and also targetScreenOffset
to something other than (0, 0)
→ it seems like its not accounted for during the zoom.
Attached is a playground demonstrating the bug: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#SRZRWV#1679 (try zooming while pointing at the left side of the plane) When you remove line 59 the zoom works as expected again.
It seems like the targetScreenOffset
is simply not taken into account in the ArcRotateCameraMouseWheelInput
?
Thank you in advance

Based on what I’m seeing in the PG, it does indeed look like the offset isn’t being taken into account. Lemme take a look at the code.

thank you, cant wait to try it!
@PolygonalSun there is one more issue with targetScreenOffset
i’m running into:
The specular reflection seems to also not take it into account… but I have a feeling that this might be by design?
Sorry if this is a noob question but I cant find much about the targetScreenOffset
in the documentation and that’s why I’m not sure if it should be taken into account everywhere or only in some situations.
I updated the playground to illustrate it: https://playground.babylonjs.com/#SRZRWV#1682, when you zoom in you can see that the specular reflection is towards the original camera position without the offset… remove line 59 for comparison.
(additional context why i would really love to make this work: this is the behaviour im trying to achieve How to change the camera target without having that target automatically centered on the screen - #14 by PolygonalSun maybe you remember the old thread
→ with these issues solved there could be a complete feature in Babylon’s ArcRotateCamera = update the target position without centering the camera which i think many people could appreciate)
I’m not too familiar with the lighting system and how the specular reflection is handled. Maybe @Evgeni_Popov might have a better idea?
It’s expected, it’s not the camera position in 3D space which is modified. The target offset is an offset in screen space, it’s as if everything was scrolled in the X/Y direction, but the specular highlight does not change place wrt the mesh.
