How do I make the camera move down at a medium pace behind the character when they enter a room. I'm trying to make a cinematic of when my hero walks into the King's throne room and I want to be able to make the camera go behind the hero. When I try it just shows a birdseye view and no one says anything and it's stuck there:(

In the editor, press M. A camera window will pop up, now move the camera around till you have it on the position you want, then press create camera.

Then in the trigger editor use the action "Camera - Apply Camera object" and follow the instructions.

You should turn on the cinematic mode faster.

Also, "will this work"? It would take you less time to try it in the editor than ask here.

You should play with all the "Cinematic - XXXXXXX" triggers before asking questions here. "Cinematic - Transmission from Unit" is what you are looking for.

ofcourse it doesnt exit the cinematic mode. You never tell it to.
Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players) over 15.00 seconds
means it will enable the cinematic mode over 15 seconds, not that itll stop it after 15 seconds.
What you need it
Trigger:
Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode On for (All players) over 0.00 seconds
wait 15
Cinematic - Turn cinematic mode Off for (All players) over 0.00 seconds

edit: There happy? tim?
