Wrong camera position at startup (TD)

[Oklino]

Hey guys!

Today i'm having the first problem that cant be solved by reading TD tutorials

If there is more than one player on my map, the camera positions are swapped. Player one first sees player two's builder and two sees player one's builder (starting position).

Why does that happen? I've set all starting positions and builders manually. I also removed all positions, saved, set them again and saved again - didtn work...

it's only a disfigurement, but there are a few maps with and a lot without this bug - so there must be a way to solve this problem

So it's time to ask the experts(you guys out there) for help

Because starting positions are bugged. Better to delete them in game init and to create builders and pan camera to them without using start positions.

AAh okay

ok... so let's check if i got it:

i have to create the builder at startup (map initialization or after 0.00seconds?)
and move the camera of each player to its position? (init or time elapsed?)

Yea, create builders in startup (Map Initialization). You can create them in centers of rects, or in points. Make an array location variable to prevent leak. And then create them with loop.

whily clicking 'round and talking to a friend he told me how he maybe solved the camera problem.
there's an option in the player-properties window. We're using the german editor so its "Feste Startpositionen" - something like "fixed starting positions". I dont know why this has solved my problem (doesnt sound like it's affecting cameras) but it works too

the reason that it has fixed your problem i because, the start location is an area where the players camera is at the start of the game. so if it is not enabled the start location for the player a random one on the map.

aaah okay now i got it!

so the "unit" called "starting postion" is just to mark this fixed position just in case if it's enabled?

Thank you for your answers

exactly

 

[Oklino]

Okay thank you very much finally everything works and i can continue creating towers and stuff
