Mark InterpolatedCamera as deprecated #42113
Conversation
InterpolatedCamera has already been removed from the `master` branch. This adds a deprecation notice to inform people about the upcoming removal in Godot 4.0. Its functionality could be replicated in a GDScript add-on with relative ease.

I commented on Weblate when I saw the comment to be translated, but I also comment here: Why is it removed? Yes, it's true, you can replicate the function with relative ease, the point is that this node already provided a basic functional behavior for a large number of projects without adding more code or failing that, if you want something more personalized you could always resort to the normal Camera node but remove the InterpolatedCamera node because? was it giving some kind of recognized failure? because if not I don't think it would bother to keep it. |

@xavierocampos Unlike 2D, 3D camera smoothing is a complex topic. There are more axes and variables to bother about, and different game genres have very different desires for camera smoothing. I don't think we can cover all 3D camera smoothing use cases with a single node. Either way, I'm working on an add-on that brings InterpolatedCamera3D back. This time however, it has more features that will make it more useful in real world projects. |
I agree with what you say, it doesn't cover the needs in any case, but it does in simple cases, if you tell me that you are working on a component that fulfills the same purpose in a more effective way I am more relaxed. I do not deny that it is a component for simple cases but it is good to have something of that style precisely for those simple cases. |

@Calinou what's the URL of the addon or what is its name? I was using this node and caught by surprise by the warning. |
