| Summary | 0024711: More camera move options. | ||||
| Description | Wondering if its possible to add a push pan camera mode where holding down the middle mouse button will pan the camera towards wherever you are pushing. This is a common pan mode for the command and conquer series which may help players get used to the camera controls if they are not used to wasd or the grab pan mode. Edit: Changed to trivial in terms of priority since it is an issue for a very very very small subset of players (1 or 2) who requested this. It's a nice to have, but not something I feel should be taking attention away from other pressing issues. | ||||

Is there any math for this kind of camera somewhere? I'll confess, I never played much C&C, so I don't really know how that's supposed to behave. We have grab-pan right now, which is more like Photoshop or SupCom, but I'm guessing this is a different behavior. |
|
|
I cannot find any math or documentation for it, but basically, when you hold a button, and then move your mouse, the screen edge pan as if your cursor is on the screen edge in that direction. Making it really quickly to move across a map. |

|
Would it help if I were to fire up Command and Conquer and record some footage? |
|
|
I think this is not a good use of Chris' limited development time |
|
|
Agreed, which is why I added the edit and changed the priority. Would it be better if this was closed overall? |
|
|
I'm just going to mark it as not fixable, as it's for a really small subset and my main chunk of time with this game is on its last few months now. |
