Use when implementing cameras — smooth follow, screen shake, camera zones, and transitions for 2D and 3D

Can you write a Godot 4.3 GDScript Camera2D target follower that includes direction-based lookahead? I'd like a complete node script where I can assign a target Node2D in the inspector, and the camera dynamically shifts ahead of the character's movement path with configurable easing speeds.

|---|---|---|
| Uses _process for camera position updates. | Missed | Passed |
| Sets position_smoothing_enabled to false. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
All examples target Godot 4.3+ with no deprecated APIs. GDScript is shown first, then C#.

| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
position_smoothing_enabled | bool | Enables built-in position smoothing (lerp toward target) |
position_smoothing_speed | float | Speed of built-in smoothing (default 5.0) |
drag_horizontal_enabled | bool | Enables a horizontal drag zone; camera only moves when target exits zone |
drag_vertical_enabled | bool | Enables a vertical drag zone |
limit_left | int | Left pixel boundary — camera will not scroll past this |
limit_right | int | Right pixel boundary |
limit_top | int | Top pixel boundary |
limit_bottom | int | Bottom pixel boundary |
zoom | Vector2 | Zoom level; Vector2(2, 2) = 2× zoom in, Vector2(0.5, 0.5) = zoom out |
Set limits to match your tilemap or level bounds so the camera never shows outside the world. Limits are in world pixels, not tiles.
A manual follow camera gives more control than the built-in smoothing — you can add look-ahead, offset, and custom easing.
