Orbital Camera + Mouse zoom

[planetX]

Hi there,

I'd like to implement a 360°orbital camera and a mouse-wheel zoom over an entity. Something like this example:

Is that possible with no pain? I have no idea where to start...

Should be able too.. i'd have to have a look though and see it for myself, can't place it off the top of my head lol

Does it need to be scripted or can the camera already exist in the scene?

If so, then add a camera from right click.
* Check set active
* Change camera mode from Fly to orbit.
* Check the Lookat box
* Then enter the tag of the name to lookat.

Press play and using the RMB+hold, you can rotate around an object.
However, mine crashes on stop of the game.. but i was surprised at how quick it was.... and will fix this bug that has been found..
Could you open a ticket based on this found bug..

Edit: Bug is fixed

Yeah, I can add a camera in the editor. I was playing with the Player Camera V2 and totally forgot the other camera. Orbit works and it doesn't crash here... there are however some glitches, like jumping from top to bottom suddenly. I can record a video if it helps.

Ok, this is a good start, I just need to solve the zoom. Could not find anything related to the mouse wheel in the API, any hint? The idea is moving the camera in the local Z axis with the mouse wheel.



Thanks for having a look.
