static trigger_camera Created 9 years ago2015-09-24 16:32:01 UTC by Alles_Ratten

Hi,
for my singleplayermap i want a perfectly static camera. So i made a trigger_camera and an info_target. When I activate the camera the field of view moves from the standard angles of the camera to the target (using the acceleration deacceleration and so on).

But i want the camera to show instantly locked on the target without moving at all. So is the only way to achieve that with setting all angles manually? which is a lot of work -.-
But i think there should be a way to loc on the target instantly - thats why i ask Didnt found any info about this in tutorials though

I think you can't do much more. You should try. You'll need the XYZ coords of the camera and the target and basic trigonometry should give you the correct angle.

You could also try to add a really high acceleration, maybe this works also, not sure havent tested vanilla entitiys for a long time.

I would think you could hide the camera pan with an env_fade

trigonowhat? hm yes i'm afraid i know how to calculate it but it's still a lot more annoying than having the camera instantly on the target. Also i'd rather struggle with calculating the length of the triangle's sides. which i would need then as far as i know.
I'll probably do it with an env_fade then usually.

Thanks for the welcome Trempler, could you remind me again what I am famous for? I'm just certain that it was not for my legendary mappingskillz

Nope but for your gaming skillz in AG
