Using the recently released Godot stable 3.2, the exit function with camera_rig.spring_arm.translation = camera_rig._position_start gave me the result of the camera "returning" to twice the height it was before. I think that's thanks to the spring arm being positioned originally relative to it's parent "camera_rig" at initializing and after the exit function it's at camera_rig.position PLUS (thanks to moving relative) camera_rig._position_start. Did I miss something about the spring not being positioned relative!? It worked better for me with simply using For enter(): camera_rig.spring_arm.translation = offset_camera For exit(): camera_rig.spring_arm.translation = Vector3.ZERO
