MapCameraCurve.type

Description

MapCameraCurve.type allows you to create a motion path for camera on the map. To create a static camera use MapCamera.type. Motion path is created by placing key points on the map.

To see the camera motion path, select the camera curve and hold C.

Example can be found in CutSceneDemo.

Creation

Motion path is created as followed. First place MapCameraCurve on the map. Then create the key points by clicking the Create point button.

Key point is defined by MapCameraCurvePoint type. New point is added after the selected one. For example, if you have two points and want to create a third between them, then select the first point and click the Create point. By changing the position of the points you are creating the path. In the editor you can view from any camera (which are key points) by selecting them and holding C.
