I'm trying to use followProjectiles: as described in 'this thread' 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:
Code: [Select]
- type: STR_EXAMPLE_FLAMETHROWER
    size: 0.2
    costBuy: 0
    costSell: 65000
    weight: 5
    bigSprite: 766
    floorSprite: 790
    handSprite: 3576
    bulletSprite: 5
    fireSound: 64
    hitSound: 12
    hitAnimation: 0
    power: 40
    damageType: 2
    blastRadius: 2
    clipSize: -1
    bulletSpeed: 50
    explosionSpeed: 10
    accuracyAuto: 20
    tuAuto: 35
    battleType: 1
    twoHanded: false
    maxRange: 9
    invWidth: 2
    invHeight: 3
    armor: 30
    confAuto:
      shots: 5
      name: STR_EXAMPLE_AUTO_SHOT
      ammoSlot: 0
      arcing: true
      followProjectiles: false
    attraction: 7
    blockBothHands: false
    listOrder: 119200

What am I doing incorrectly?

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

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!
