Camera Point: A device that makes the player’s screen lock into one spot or just wherever you place the camera point.
Other question: Just have triggers that transmit a channel to the deactivate barrier or camera point channels and have a delay set on them.
Camera Point vs Camera View: Camera views are to limit the amount of area the player can see. Like seeing outside of a lobby area would be a bit weird. They both have different functions, since you can still see your own gim inside a camera view.

how do you make the camera point like work.

How to use a camera point: Have something that activates the camera point. To keep it simple, just wire a trigger or something that can be triggered and then it triggers the camera point. Using channels works better from what I’ve seen. For instance, having a trigger that triggers via game start or the player stepped on it, then have it transmit a channel to the camera point and activate it.

ohhh ok, is it possible to only make it last for a certain amount of time?

8

Yes just have another trigger send another channel with a delay to close the camera point.

You can use the lifecycle device. It can listen for the game start and send a channel.

use a zone connected to channels, that connect with the camera point.
(that’s the only way I was able to do it)

I agree with the change of topic, but just to make sure. They were asking about what the camera point device and camera view did. There were a lot of device questions. They did need help with setting some things up and how you would activate the points and whatnot. So, I was just wondering if this would lean more towards help or devices?

Also, there are many ways to activate a camera point, just it depends on your game and your preference, Zones take more memory than most, so it wouldn’t be the ideal thing to use.

asking for something is what i’d consider help.
they need help understanding what a device does, or how to use it.
