Keep a moving subject framed

Needs Testing

A camera can turn to follow a player or NPC while travelling along its track.

There is no menu control for choosing the subject. Use the console, opened with ~.

Choosing the subject

Build a camera track with at least 2 waypoints, then give it a subject:

Use a player name or client number, or an NPC name or id.

Players are matched first, so an NPC's name avoids a number that also belongs to a connected player.

Rehearsing the shot

Select the track on the Camera panel, then use PREVIEW LOCALLY to check the shot on your own screen. /camera test 1 does the same for track 1.

Play a camera track covers rehearsal and playback for the room.

Checking or clearing the subject

Leave the subject out to read back the current choice:

Clear it to use the captured waypoint angles on the next playback:
