Title: [Solved] Auto shot projectiles with followProjectiles is still moving the camera
Post by: The Martian on June 19, 2020, 03:26:43 am

(OXCE V6.5 2020-05-08)

I'm trying to use followProjectiles: as described in 'this thread (https://openxcom.org/forum/index.php/topic,8210.0.html)' to keep the camera in place while a flamethrower fires several times.

However the camera keeps moving even though followProjectiles: is set to false.

Here is the item's code:

      ammoSlot: 0
      arcing: true
      followProjectiles: false
    attraction: 7
    blockBothHands: false
    listOrder: 119200
What am I doing incorrectly?

attach the mod (or a link to it) and a save

Here is a .Zip of the mod and a save game file from a battle where the camera shake was occurring.

I've been using the "New Battle" feature on the main menu, the saved game is from a freshly started round of that.

camera doesn't follow the projectiles in this case

it just centers on explosions when the projectiles disappear

I can try to disable that too

You can try a new version here: https://lxnt.wtf/oxem/builds//Extended/Extended-6.5.5-fd29708fb-2020-06-21-win64.7z

That version appears to be for Windows 64Bit, I'm running Linux Mint and unfortunately I cannot test it.

Do you have a Linux compatible build of it?

I just tried your new build and followProjectiles: false works perfectly with the flamethrower now.

Thank you! (https://openxcom.org/forum/Themes/InsidiousV1-k/images/post/thumbup.gif)
