Hello, I want to make a little camera trick. I want to make it look like a unit is knocked down from a first person perspective. I found a way to do this, however I need to change the method I use.

I create 3 cameras on the same position, then I increase the angle of attack of 2 of the cameras to 354 which is just above the ground. And then I change the roll value of the 3rd camera by 90. And I then apply them in order to make the camera trick. And I obviously fade out at the same time. However, this only works if I preset the cameras, which I can't do. I need to modify both the focusing point of the cameras (which is possible) AND the rotation of the camera which is impossible as far as I know.

This?

  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to ((Rotation of (Current camera)) + 90.00) over 1.00 seconds
or simpler

  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to 180.00 over 1.00 seconds
