| Summary | 0028361: Cycling units adjusts zoom level | ||||
| Description | Whenever I switch between my units with 'P' or spacebar the camera adjusts to a fixed zoom level instead of maintaining the current zoom and centering on the unit. The Forces menu doesn't have this issue when right-clicking on units. | ||||

Well -- if you're way zoomed in on a unit at the ground level, and then you cycle over to a vehicle, it needs to zoom out to a level where the vehicle can be shown. There is a different more naive method being used on the sidebar, so I bet if you zoomed all the way in on a unit, and then switch to a vehicle, you'd get a lovely view of the ground under it. Similarly, if you're just moving between regular ground units, but one is on a building, etc. It probably could use some refinement, and it also probably should apply to other methods of focusing on a unit, but it's trying to make sure that things are on-screen. It may be too aggressive in some specific cases, amongst other issues. |

The issue for me is I like being zoomed fairly far out and it keeps zooming me in closer and then I keep zooming back out again. The way the forces menu camera refocus works feels perfect to me. |

Having it zoom in more is definitely undesirable for sure. Basically, if someone is in the other case where they are very zoomed in, it does need to zoom out. But if you're already at a comfortable distance, then having it zoom in makes no real sense. I put this as a minor fix for later just so I can focus on content in the short term, because to really get this right will take me probably the better part of an hour. I think it's important, but I need to get the content stuff done first. |

Thanks! * The game no longer zooms in on targets when you are switching which unit is selected. If your zoom is too low to see it, it will still zoom OUT to make sure it is in view, but it won't zoom in if you're already at a height where you could see it fine. |
