camera field of views

[scubazoo]

Hi,

I have two triggers, one in which i want the camera to pan to the new unit selected and set new camera bounds and field of view, and another in which another unit is selected and new camera bounds and field of view are set for this unit as well. however, the way it is working now is that the camera does pan and switch to either unit when selected, as desired, although the field of view is not implemented. how can i implement two fields of view for two different units?

here are the triggers:

• player red outside vision
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Outside Visibility <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set the camera bounds for Player 1 (Red) to Outside Visibility <gen>
    • Camera - Pan camera as necessary for Player 1 (Red) to (Position of (Triggering unit)) over 0.00 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Field of view to 3200.00 over 0.00 seconds

• player red inside hedgehog
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) Selects a unit
  • Conditions
    • (Outside Visibility <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to False
    • (hedgehog inside <gen> contains (Triggering unit)) Equal to True
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set the camera bounds for Player 1 (Red) to Hedgehog <gen>
    • Camera - Pan camera as necessary for Player 1 (Red) to (Position of (Triggering unit)) over 0.50 seconds
    • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Field of view to 1600.00 over 0.00 seconds

You could try changing the over time change in the Field of View camera to .5 seconds. That or you could try to change field of view first than pan camera.

I'm wondering if locking the camera bounds obstructs the field of view? Because if it does a alternative could be to pan and change field of view first, than lock the camera to the unit.

Sorry I am unspecific I hope it works out for you.

Are you sure you mean Field of View? This field is hardly ever used and it's max is 120. This changes how wide the camera is (think peripheral vision).

Do you mean Distance to Target? This changes how long the camera is (zooming in and out).

no i mean field of view, ive used it before and actually it is working in the first trigger, the camera zooms out to encompass a larger field of view, however, i cant get it to zoom back in when selecting the unit in a different region, such as the second trigger.

The max value for Field of View is still 120. The number represents degrees, so the theoretical max would still be 360.

"1600" is close the the distance to target default which is 1650... BTW.
