Clamp max distance with infinite dolly

[romankoho]

Hello,

I'm using the drei implementation of camera-controls. I'd want to utilize infinite dolly. However, I still want to limit or clamp the maximum distance (from the controls target I guess). So when dollying in and reaching a certain min distance the target should move forward - just like infinityDolly does (that's fine). At the same time the user should not be able to dolly away indefinitely.

With the following settings the user can dolly out indefinitely.

How can I enable infiniteDolly (on dolly in) but clamp the max distance at the same time?

const DISTANCE_MIN = 1.0
const DISTANCE_MAX = 40.0
const TRUCK_SPEED = 2.0
const DRAGGING_SMOOTH_TIME = 0.05 // don't set to 0 as this leads to bugs (controls are freezing)

    <CameraControls
      ref={controlsRef}
      minZoom={1}
      makeDefault={true}
      minDistance={DISTANCE_MIN}
      maxDistance={DISTANCE_MAX}
      truckSpeed={TRUCK_SPEED}
      draggingSmoothTime={DRAGGING_SMOOTH_TIME}
      dollyToCursor={true}
      infinityDolly={true}
    />

I don't know if this is possible because even this example not behaving as I would expect. When dolling out until I can't see the scene anymore, then there is no way to get back closer again (no matter how fiercely I spin the mouse wheel).

Also there is another strange issue. If I set draggingSmoothTime to 0, the controls (dolling and panning) randomly freeze. I can then only unfreeze them when using the mouse wheel.
