Camera will not look at player

[epsilonion]

With look at enabled and Player been the tag it will not look at the object with the Player Tag

[SolarPortal]

did you activate the camera checkbox before the other entity was added, as that might be a cause,
try unchecking the camera lookat and then recheck it

[epsilonion]

Unchecking and checking does not work....

[SolarPortal]

delete the tag and re-enter it again then, on both the sphere and the lookat on camera.

Set the camera as active also.

Just tried the camera and it works but there may be a order you used that caused it to break, which would be good to find

ok
1) Add object and set tag then add camera and set camera look at tag - this required me to click set as active camera then it worked.
2) Add camera and set tag then add object and set its tag - this required the camera set look at pressed again.

So there is a little bug in here that we need to look at , Thanks m8

I put the ball in there scene Added micro script, SCC controller.
Added the camera..

I am getting intermittent crashes when using a camera in scene, sometimes they crash some times it takes a while to crash but it does in the end.

When first playing the animation runs on the ball (I am not bothered about this and will fix later) but when you attach the camera the camera doesnt orbit at the distance set, the camera spins like the animation has been transmitted to it, so now there are 2 spinning objects both in there own local space.

disabling the micro script does not stop the camera been attached and when you disable the micro script and run again the camera spins around the ball (camera in its relivent distance to the player), so when the micro script is disabled the camera is still attached to the player and works like it should relivent to the attached object.

the parent is the player and child is the camera btw..

I was going to record this but it crashed..



I had loads of crashes yesterday when switching the active camera, come times it crashed streight away other times it too a min or 5 but it did in the end.

That seemed simple to crash lol
You should use the getIDFromTag function though instead of straight ids, as this can change scene to scene.

[epsilonion]

Yeah I know but its only a test level... 2.5D scroller, should be simple enough to setup and do if not for the crashes with the camera..

[SolarPortal]

attaching the camera's though is something that i havent tested and still have to get around to your previous errors with the lua cameras attach.

For now, just use the attach action on the ball, and take the cameras id and place it in the ball attach action.. job done!

[epsilonion]

lol.. I will go onto the next thing and drill it and see if I can brake it.. lol

[SolarPortal]

Will start having a look at these issue now
