Use A Camera.

Place the camera to where you want it. Go To The Triggers,
Set to Map Instisliion. Apply Camera For Player At Camera001.

Sorry if i diddnt give you enouph infomation.

Use this action.

  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Distance to target to 1000.00 over 0.00 seconds

whats the default distance? 1000 sounds pretty close if not less than default, around 2200-2400 is a fairly decent zoom out

Values doesn't matter. I was simply giving him the action to use.

It's under camera - set camera field (timed).

dose this allow you to type -zoom to get the desired distance?
-because it dosnt seem to be allowing me to use -zoom.
-is it able to start the game at a certain distance from the map?

thankyou,

• Zoom
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 2 (Blue) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 3 (Teal) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 4 (Purple) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 5 (Yellow) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 6 (Orange) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 7 (Green) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 8 (Pink) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 9 (Gray) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 10 (Light Blue) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 11 (Dark Green) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
    • Player - Player 12 (Brown) types a chat message containing -zoom as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 10)))) over 0.00 seconds

That would be the zoom command.

To start the game at a certain distance it would be...

• Cam Init
  • Events
    • Time - Elapsed game time is 0.01 seconds
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to 2000.00 over 0.00 seconds

Camera Height Offset is different from Distance to target. Camera Height Offset changes the Z value (the literally height) of the camera while Distance to target stretches the camera. Not sure how these make visual differences, though...

how do i get to this point.-----

(Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 7, 10))))

i cant find.

thankyou,
ballzdeep85.

 

[ballzdeep85]

bump

 

[tooltiperror]

I noticed you have been bumping a lot without waiting a day. The forum rules say that you must wait 24 Hours to bump your thread.

 

[Azylaminaz]

First, for the Real value, choose Conversion - Convert String To Real.
From there, click the blue value. For String, choose Substring.

From there, it's pretty explanatory.

And yes, you are not supposed to bump within less than 24 hours of another post.
