Switching Camera Mode (cam to eye)

by genomegames · in Torque 3D Professional · 10/27/2012 (5:06 am) · 8 replies

Hello all!
When a character comes close to a bot and vice-versa, a camera switches from "cam" node to "eye" node
I don't want that
I need a camera in the third person mode everytime
Does anybody know how make a camera isn't switching between modes?
Thank you for your time!

The RTS Prototype shows how a few different camera modes work, and The Adventure Prototype covers a few more tricks with cameras.

I don't think it's eye I think it's the collision of the cam against the NPCs object that makes the cam zoom in. I am having the same issue I've yet to try to find a solution but you may have to make NPCs characters not a camera collision object.

I had the same issue with swimming where water was part of the collision type for the camera.
