[General] Camera Rotate

[Aeroblyctos]

Hey.

I'm doing a cinematic where walls are rising all around and I want to have a cool camera that rotates in X point. This camera should move pretty quickly and smoothly around X point.

However it seems like I cannot do this and I need help. Can you help me?

Use "Rotate camera around point"?

I'm doing but it doesn't seem to work.

First of all - lock the camera to the certain point.
Then try this:

• Events
  • Time - Every 0.01 seconds of game time
• Conditions
• Actions
  • Set rotation = (rotation + 1.00)
  • If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
    • If - Conditions
      • rotation Greater than or equal to 360.00
    • Then - Actions
      • Set rotation = 0.00
    • Else - Actions
  • Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Rotation to rotation over 0.01 seconds

It's better that you open the map in world editor and check it out yourself if you know the correct answer. It's a bit stupid me to try different solutions even if I don't know what I'm doing.

You don't need a periodic event for that. The function Rotate camera will stimulate the rotation and determine the time, up to the "over X.00 seconds", by dividing the degrees with the rotation time.

Aha! So that how it works.

Superb thanks, Elvendan & Pharaoh_!
