Cutscene camera required to know how

by Andy Hawkins · in Torque Game Engine · 11/30/2006 (9:32 pm) · 2 replies

I want to have a bit in my level when the player kills the bad guy, a door opens, so I want the camera to pan to it to make sure the player can see it open, and not allow the player to move. How is this done?

Look at the feature demo and the way that the camera paths are set up. AFAIK, there are no tutorials on this so you will need to get a bit dirty in the feature demo.

Also, Andy, if your default ActionMap is called moveMap (like in the demo), call moveMap.pop(). This will disable player movement. Then, have a second camera and a scenegroup (start, path, ect), setup. When you are ready to display the cutscene, pop the moveMap and change controlobjects from the player to the second camera.
