Is there another way to point the Camera without giving it seconds?

  • Camera - Apply Camera 035 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds
  • Camera - Apply Camera 036 <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 6.00 seconds
  • Wait 6.00 seconds
Is there another way around it?

I'm not too sure what you mean? Like having a camera move but without doing the above process?
You could try

  • Camera - Lock camera target for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00) using Default rotation
or

  • Camera - Lock camera orientation for Player 1 (Red) to (Triggering unit), offset by (0.00, 0.00)
but you have less control in this way, imo it's better to just make the camera's move like in your post.

You mean like instantly going to a camera? Just do
Camera - Apply Camera X <gen> for Player 1 (Red) over 0.00 seconds

Not sure if I read your question right.

Thank you for the replies. Heres what im talking about.

I want to know if theres another way to Pan the Camera around a Place. But instead of using seconds, i want it just to pan there until i put something to end it.
 
Well, ever tried a periodic trigger? You can probably just keep panning it. So say if you were to have it move around once initially. You can do this afterward:
  • Constant Pan
    • Events
      • Time - Every X seconds (time to pan around the area)
    • Conditions
      • <The Condition>
    • Actions
      • Camera - Pan camera...
That might work if that is what you are looking for. If you want it to pan around the area once as long as a condition is running, I think it would be kind of hard. I guess you would just have to calculate the time somehow or just estimate it, and wait that long..

Lol reviving my thread here to ask another camera related question.

Is it possible to make a camera pan to one region for ALL players at the same time without having to put like, player 1 pan camera here, player 2 blah blah blah. The camera must be panned until you put like a trigger that says to stop or something. Err... you get what im saying right..? Anyways, if this is all possible, please tell me how.

Okay. Can you give the exact thing on how i am supposed to pick all players.. etc?

Sure :wink:

  • Events
    • Player - Your event (dunno what starts it in yours)
  • Conditions
    • Unit - If you have any
  • Actions
    • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Camera - Pan camera for (Picked Player) to (Center of (Your region) over 5.00 seconds

That should do the trick. If you only have one action to perform with all players then you could also use pick
  • Player Group - Pick every player in (All players) and do (Action)
