Camera with Path_Corner Created 18 years ago2005-12-04 21:38:57 UTC by BrattyLord

I've been having some trouble with my camera following a path.

I have set up a series of path_corners and have a camera triggered, with the "path_corner" part assigned the name of my first path_corner.

I want it to Follow the Player, so I have that flag ticked.

I do not have anything as the target.

How do I get the camera to follow the path corners, and look at the player?

Ow, I believe you can't target the player. Using the keyword 'player' focusses on the info_player_start's position rather than the actual player location, afaik.

Perhaps using a system of triggers, where you move around the camera's focus entity to the general area the player has moved into?

Actually,

Heres the thing...

This camera zooms in onto my space ship, right?

as it passes. I want it to look at the player, who I have secretly placed inside of the ship.

The Follow Player flag, I assumed, would work as the camera followed a path_corner, but obviously this didn't work.

Any pointers?

Just use the spaceship as the focus for the camera. You can follow any entity with camera's. Func_trains are nice things for such purposes.

you may be able to target the player with !player

Just a warning: when it does work, it looks at your feet, so you have to stay some distance away.

Another warning: Make sure you write in the acc/dcc value the speed of the camera/the time it takes it to acc or dcc.
For example: 50/5

Thank you very much, I have what I want
