Easy Camera Movement

Here you have a little helper script for camera movements.

It allows you to place locations, shapes or bodies that can be tagged in varoious ways to create either static camera angles ore moving camera flights as well as rotations.


Place the following tags on location, shape or body objects on the map:

EasyCamera_1, EasyCamera_2, ... EasyCamera_X

This sets the order in which cameras are activated. If you want to cycle between 3 cameras you need 3 objects with this tag counting up. So the first camera location will be EasyCamera_1. the second is EasyCamera_2 and so on.

movementType=next|fixed|follow (default = fixed)

This sets the movemen type of the camera. If the type is fixed, the camera will be fixed to the transform of its object until its duration is over. If the type is next, this camera will slowly move from its current position and rotation to the next cameras position and rotation making camera flights possible.When the type is next, the duration will determine how fast the camera is moving. The following option will follow a target given by the EasyCamera_Target tag. If no tag is given, the target is determined as the first object found when raycasting forward from the camera.

EasyCamera_Target={some other tag of an object}

This will be the target for a follower camera. The value must be a valid tag that can be found on the map. Once set, the camera will remember the relative position to the target. So if the target moves or turns, the camera will follow. Good for 3rd person cameras.

duration=5

This sets the duration for how long this camera will be actively shown. After this duration the script either moves to the next camera in line or stops, depending on the script parameters.



maxCameraCount (integer - default = 1000)

Defines the maximum of different camera locations you can use under the script.

activeOnStart (bool - default = true)

Defines if this script is active from the beginning. If false, it has to be manually enabled by writing SetBool("EasyCamera{.id}.active",true), using the id given via the parameter. If no id was given then the default id is blank. So It will be SetBool("EasyCamera.active",true) then.

deactivateAfterOneCycle (bool - default = false)

Defines if the script will cycle endlessly throught the cameras or stop after one cycle. Use endless mode for title or end screens and deactivate the cycling for single usages like a short video sequence before the player can play again.

id (string - default = "" = Empty)

Defines a seperate id to use in the registry parameter to activate the script. This is usefull if you have different copies of this script in one map.



If you want your camera or camera sequence to be activated by the player hitting "E" (interact) on some object or button, then just tag the object with:

EasyCamera_Activator=id if you have set an id to your script or simply EasyCamera_Activator if no id has been set.
