Actions

Look at an object from a distance
Move the camera to look at an object from a distance.

Look at a position from a distance
Move the camera to look at a position from a distance.

Third person camera

Smoothly follow an object at a distance.

Behavior actions

Rotate the camera all the way
Rotate the camera all the way to the targeted angle.

Move the camera closer
Move the camera closer to the object. This action must be called after the object has moved for the frame.

Camera rotation
Change the camera rotation.

Camera distance
Change the camera distance of the object.

Elevation angle offset
Change the elevation angle offset of the object.

Halfway time for elevation rotation
Change the halfway time for elevation rotation of the object.

Follow free area top border on Z axis
Change the follow free area top border on Z axis of the object.

Follow free area bottom border on Z axis
Change the follow free area bottom border on Z axis of the object.

Lateral distance offset
Change the lateral distance offset of the object.

Ahead distance offset
Change the ahead distance offset of the object.

Z offset
Change the z offset of the object.

Rotation angle offset
Change the rotation angle offset of the object.

Halfway time for rotation
Change the halfway time for rotation of the object.

Targeted rotation angle
Change the targeted camera rotation angle of the object. When this angle is set, the camera follow this value instead of the object angle.

Halfway time on Z axis
Change the halfway time on Z axis of the object.

Behavior conditions

Camera distance
Compare the camera distance of the object.

Elevation angle offset
Compare the elevation angle offset of the object.

Halfway time for elevation rotation
Compare the halfway time for elevation rotation of the object.

Follow free area top border on Z axis
Compare the follow free area top border on Z axis of the object.

Follow free area bottom border on Z axis
Compare the follow free area bottom border on Z axis of the object.

Lateral distance offset
Compare the lateral distance offset of the object.

Ahead distance offset
Compare the ahead distance offset of the object.

Z offset
Compare the z offset of the object.

Rotation angle offset
Compare the rotation angle offset of the object.

Halfway time for rotation
Compare the halfway time for rotation of the object.

Targeted rotation angle
Compare the targeted camera rotation angle of the object. When this angle is set, the camera follow this value instead of the object angle.

Halfway time on Z axis
Compare the halfway time on Z axis of the object.
