heres the thing.. i set up 4 cameras to revolve around this once character... but the thing is that once its have way through.. it turns the other way...(if you dont know what i mean ill clarify: it will go clock wise half the way around then once it hits a certain spot.. it goes counter clockwise) Does anyone know how i can make it go in one direction only? |

That is hard, and it took me forever to get around this. Here's the problem: The WarCraft Game engine moves to cameras in the direction it thinks is the shortest route. WarCraft is too damn stupid, however, to realize that 359 and 1 are right next to one another, and tries to go in the complete opposite direction like a moron! The Fix: Make sure that one of your cameras is at 0/359 degrees (depends on the direction you're going). Pan to it. Before panning to the next camera object put the following trigger: Camera - set camera field rotation equal to (if you're at 0, put 359, if you're at 359, put 0) After that if should figure out the right direction to go. You do NOT want to know how long this took me to figure out. IC was almost scrapped from the very beginning when I couldn't get the Matrix effect to work. -Insaniteus- |

thx man.. that works.. but is it possible to do it w/out the camera being at 0 or 359? it doesnt really fit into my terrain... |

Well you can do whatever you want, but there will be a sharp cut in the camera pan if you jump to far. -Insaniteus- |

I am posting this here because Insaniteus seams to know something about the Camera system... ^_^ Anyway: My problem is moving the current camra possition from Region A to Region B. I have looked through the Actions, and still can't find anything close to 'Center on Region X' I may be too sleep drepriped to notice it, but I do need help. o_O |
