Confused trigger_camera on a track Created 8 years ago2016-01-24 17:39:45 UTC by Alles_Ratten

Hey,
I am trying to make an intro with a camera on a track of path corners targeting a func train on a different track of path_corners.

The problem: My camera doesn't follow it's target at all.

I know that the path's are working correct. I have tried different starting times, and also changed the tracks a bit but I don't see the problem. I've seen the exact same setup working in a sample map.
At the moment this is how it looks in the editor:On this sample picture and vid the func_train is not in its usual position at start which unfortunately doesnt have a lot of effect.

However this is what the cam shows (It doesn't ever have a target on it's right side actually). :/

Maybe the turns are to drastic for the rather delayed moving camera? Or do I maybe need to set more path_corners on the turns? I got very tired of this because I already had a lot trial and error :/
"Do you have any idea whats going on?"

Try adding an origin brush to your func_train that will be the camera target.

awesome, thanks a lot!
it worked

In future, also remember these golden rules:

1. If you activate a trigger_changelevel while a camera is still active - bad things happen.

2. The func_train needs to be faster than the camera.

bad things happen

Now I want to see those bad things.

Now I want to see those bad things.

just don't let it be my mod

So when I have a camera that moves faster than it's func_train there will be unlogical problems?

thanks for hints anyway, I went on to new problems, which might get revealed by a new topic
