Question

I am making an RTS style camera, where the player can use WASD and move the cursor to the sides of the screen to move it. Eventually I’d like to add a middle click mouse anywhere in the viewport and move the screen that way.

Currently I have the WASD and the Cursor viewport edge movement down, but I’d like to prioritize the WASD over the Cursor position, since a WASD will likely always be intentional. How can I do this?

Currently my code is:

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	moveCameraWithKeys(delta)
	moveCameraWithMouse(delta)



func moveCameraWithKeys(delta):
	if Input.is_action_pressed("W"):
		position.z -= CameraSpeed * delta
	if Input.is_action_pressed("S"):
		position.z += CameraSpeed * delta
	if Input.is_action_pressed("D"):
		position.x += CameraSpeed * delta
	if Input.is_action_pressed("A"):
		position.x -= CameraSpeed * delta
func moveCameraWithMouse(delta):
	if (get_viewport().get_mouse_position().x >= get_viewport().get_visible_rect().size.x - MousePadding):
		position.x += CameraSpeed * delta
	if (get_viewport().get_mouse_position().x <= MousePadding):
		position.x -= CameraSpeed * delta
	if (get_viewport().get_mouse_position().y >= get_viewport().get_visible_rect().size.y - MousePadding):
		position.z += CameraSpeed * delta
	if (get_viewport().get_mouse_position().y <= MousePadding):
		position.z -= CameraSpeed * delta

One possible way to handle this situation would be along the following idea:

func _process(delta: float) -> void:
	if not moveCameraWithKeys(delta):
		moveCameraWithMouse(delta)



func moveCameraWithKeys(delta) -> bool:
	var during_movement = false
	if Input.is_action_pressed("W"):
		position.z -= CameraSpeed * delta
		during_movement = true
	if Input.is_action_pressed("S"):
		position.z += CameraSpeed * delta
		during_movement = true
	if Input.is_action_pressed("D"):
		position.x += CameraSpeed * delta
		during_movement = true
	if Input.is_action_pressed("A"):
		position.x -= CameraSpeed * delta
		during_movement = true
	return during_movement
