CameraControls - max distance and draggingSmoothTime not working

[romankoho]

I have problems with my CameraControls.

1. Although I set maxDistance to 5, I can still zoom out indefinitely
   Issue1.webm

2. When I zoomed out relatively far, I cannot zoom in again
   From second 12 to 27 I kept scrolling in but not much happend
   Issue2.webm

3. When setting draggingSmoothTime to 0, the controls start to freeze randomly. I then have to use the mouse wheel and only then I can drag again.
   Unfortunately, the mouse wasn't recorded but I think you can see that I'm moving around, then the scene seems to be stuck -> next I scroll a little bit and only then I can move again
   Issue3.webm

This is the very basic setup

   <CameraControls
      minZoom={1}
      makeDefault={true}
      minDistance={1}
      maxDistance={5}
      truckSpeed={TRUCK_SPEED}
      draggingSmoothTime={0}
      dollyToCursor={true}
      infinityDolly={true}
    />

these are the versions I'm on

infinityDolly={true} is overriding your distance constraints by pushing the target position around to create the infinite dolly effect. Just remove it and the constraints should work normally.

Here's an example of how infinityDolly works, this example also shows off the odd zoom behavior in part 2 of your question, and might be the culprit for part 3. If you intend to use this prop, you'll just have to take this into account.

Also flagging:

• The CameraControls is using either the <PerspectiveCamera> or the <OrthographicCamera>, if you're set to orthographic, that only takes min or maxZoom.
• makeDefault doesn't need a ={true}, since it's supposed to take state variables: makeDefault={condition === 'perspective'}

Hey @JamesMasino thanks for your answer. In the meantime I understood what infiniteDolly={true} is doing and why this overrules min and max distance.

Regarding point 2:
I have also checked the example you sent and I find the behavior super unintuitive. When zooming out it's very easy to "lose" the scene which makes scrolling back in almost impossible. But I guess that's just the way it is with this implementation.

I am now using the camera controls from react three drei.. My solution was to pass an implementation of the CameraControls in which I override the dolly method. Basically I have limited dollying out to a certain distance from the center
