Panning from one Camera to another...

Hi, I'm making a map with a couple of boss fights. I'm trying to use cinematics to add some atmosphere but I've run into a small problem.

I need to pan from one camera object to a another, so I made two cameras at different positions. Then I made some triggers, after 30 seconds the game enters cinematic mode and swaps the camera view to the first camera for all players. At the end of this trigger it runs the next trigger which should pan the camera for all players from the current view (camera one) to camera two over five seconds. However nothing happens, the view just stays as camera one:

Code:
Abom Cinematic 1
    Events
        Unit - A unit enters East Abom Boss Support <gen>
    Conditions
    Actions
        Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players)

        Camera - Apply AbomCinecam1 <gen> for Player 10 (Light Blue) over 0.00 seconds
        Camera - Apply AbomCinecam1 <gen> for Player 11 (Dark Green) over 0.00 seconds
        Wait 0.10 seconds
        Trigger - Run Abom Cinematic 2 <gen> (ignoring conditions)


Code:
Abom Cinematic 2
    Events
    Conditions
    Actions
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 1 (Red) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds

        Camera - Pan camera for Player 3 (Teal) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 4 (Purple) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 5 (Yellow) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 7 (Green) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 8 (Pink) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 9 (Gray) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 10 (Light Blue) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds
        Camera - Pan camera for Player 11 (Dark Green) to (Target of AbomCinecam2 <gen>) over 5.00 seconds

Those are my triggers can anyone see what I've done wrong? Whilst I'm at it is there anyway to set the camera view of all players at once rather than them all individually?

Thanks in advance.

But then it swaps view instantly, I want it to slowly move between the two. One camera is at the bottom of a cliff and the second at the top, I need the camera to look as if it is rising up the cliff.

    Signatures can be edit in your account profile. As for the old stuffs, I'm thinking it's because Blizzard is now under Microsoft, and because of Microsoft Xbox going the way it is, it's dreadful.

    @tom_mai78101 I must be blind. If I go on my profile I don't see any area to edit the signature; If I go to account details (settings) I don't see any signature area either.

    Crazy how much 3d printing has come in the last few years. Sad that it's not as easily modifiable though
  • Varine Varine:
    I bought an Ender 3 during the pandemic and tinkered with it all the time. Just bought a Sovol, not as easy. I'm trying to make it use a different nozzle because I have a fuck ton of Volcanos, and they use what is basically a modified volcano that is just a smidge longer, and almost every part on this thing needs to be redone to make it work
  • Varine Varine:
    Luckily I have a 3d printer for that, I guess. But it's ridiculous. The regular volcanos are 21mm, these Sovol versions are about 23.5mm
  • Varine Varine:
    So, 2.5mm longer. But the thing that measures the bed is about 1.5mm above the nozzle, so if I swap it with a volcano then I'm 1mm behind it. So cool, new bracket to swap that, but THEN the fan shroud to direct air at the part is ALSO going to be .5mm to low, and so I need to redo that, but by doing that it is a little bit off where it should be blowing and it's throwing it at the heating block instead of the part, and fuck man
  • Varine Varine:
    I didn't realize they designed this entire thing to NOT be modded. I would have just got a fucking Bambu if I knew that, the whole point was I could fuck with this. And no one else makes shit for Sovol so I have to go through them, and they have... interesting pricing models. So I have a new extruder altogether that I'm taking apart and going to just design a whole new one to use my nozzles. Dumb design.
  • Varine Varine:
    Can't just buy a new heatblock, you need to get a whole hotend - so block, heater cartridge, thermistor, heatbreak, and nozzle. And they put this fucking paste in there so I can't take the thermistor or cartridge out with any ease, that's 30 dollars. Or you can get the whole extrudor with the direct driver AND that heatblock for like 50, but you still can't get any of it to come apart
  • Varine Varine:
    Partsbuilt has individual parts I found but they're expensive. I think I can get bits swapped around and make this work with generic shit though
