Scene.camera.follow?

[Wild Bill]

I am spawning an object and I want the camera to follow it. I have tried Scene.camera.follow:=true and a few other things with no luck. I have also searched the forum but no luck there either. Is there a code for this? TIA

algodoo saves the object that is being tracked by using a group

Code: Select all

Scene.addGroup {
    name := "tracked";
    entityIDs := [107]
};

so, unless you can edit group and grab the entity id of the object you want to follow, you might have to find a mechanical way of doing it.

Thanks, I may be able to use that.

If he is spawning an object that he wants the camera to follow, then wouldn't he be able to make the entityID whatever he wants? And then spawn that group within the same script? As in...

Code: Select all

Scene.addCircle {
    entityID := 107
};
Scene.addGroup {
    name := "tracked";
    entityIDs := [107]
};

Maybe?

Actually I have tried the Scene.addGroup, entity id number and a lot of other things and nothing has worked so far. I will try more later but thanks for the help anyways.
