00215: camera target selction with toggle for centering
Summary: camera target selction with toggle for centering
Created: 2009–12–15 11:46
Status: Released
Category: Request
From: frankie
Version: 2.0
Released_In: 2.1
Description:
one of the difficulties with flying around an object or using the mouse to fly is that a node of interest has to be selected to fly around.
this is a request to allow a camera to select a node of interest by using it's parent to designate which node it is interested in.
target selection could be done using function keys (F1 - F12).
also, being able to to lock that node into the center of the view using a hotkey, such as the scroll lock key, would be nice.

More info on this capability is on the Graphics.Trackcam page. This gives any script the capability to track on any criteria, whether it be a function key or a hand controller button press. Feel free to make the capability work the best way for your setup. —FG
