TGB 1.7.x: Camera jitters about every second

#1 What parameters are you using for the mount?

#2 I'm actually just calling SceneWindow2D.mount(%TheObjectItIsMountedTo);

#3 Hey Michael,

From what I understand, this a rounding issue. Essentially, the mounted camera is trying to position itself in between screen space pixels because of the interpolation done when %TheObjectItIsMountedTo is being moved.

Try specifying/playing with elasticity parameter in your mount function call:

sceneWindow2D.mount(%TheObjectItIsMountedTo,0,0,0.1,false);

If memory serves, the parameter list is:
object, xoffset, yoffset, elasticity, trackRotation;

#4 Thank you Patrick. I played around with the parameters, but anything above an elasticity value of 0 gave me unwanted results (and didn't fix the issue).

I fear it is some kind of a problem with mount. I noticed that if i mount an object onto a mounted object in the tgb editor then it ignores a mount force of 0. BUT if i mount it in script, then it works (with melv's fix).

#5 I think your fears are correct - chalk up another to hopefully fixed in T2d I guess. However, here is an implementation that I've used that does not jitter, perhaps it's the object type that is making a difference?

function t2dSceneObject::mountCamera(%this)
{	
   sceneWindow2D.mount(%this, "0 0", 0, false);
}

then call in your onLevelLoaded function for you player using:

%this.mountCamera();

Note: I used an elasticity value in mine but you say that you still had jitter with that, so perhaps this will work.

I wish I could be more help.

#6 You should just use the mount camera to object behavior in the TDN, it dosn't have jitters and you can set a lot more things.
