Properties

camTrjFOR

The coordinate system of the key frames of the camera trajectory.

  • WORLD — Positions are relative to the global world coordinate system.
  • OBJECT — Positions are relative to the position of the camera object in the previous frame. Essentially, when the camera travels along the keyframes each subsequent keyframe's position is relative to the position of the previous keyframe. The position of the first keyframe is relative to the initial position of the camera.

targetTrjFOR

The keyframe coordinate system of the target camera trajectory.

  • WORLD — Positions are relative to the global world coordinate system.
  • OBJECT — Positions are relative to the position of the camera object in the previous frame. Essentially, when the camera travels along the keyframes each subsequent keyframe's position is relative to the position of the previous keyframe. The position of the first keyframe is relative to the initial position of the camera.

loopMode

The repetition mode of the camera animation.

  • NONE — The camera animation stops after the last frame is reached.
  • RESTART — The camera animation starts from the beginning after the last frame is reached. The ModKit states, that this is only useful if the animation is to be interrupted by scripts or triggers.
  • PINGPONG — The camera animation re-plays the keyframes in reverse order after reaching the last frame.

splLerpMode

Adjust camera orientation while moving.

  • UNDEF — Unset.
  • PATH — The camera's orientation is specified by the slope of the target path spline.
  • PATH_IGNOREROLL — The camera's orientation is similar to PATH with the only difference being that the camera's XZ plane is always parallel to the world's XZ plane.
  • PATH_ROT_SAMPLES — The camera's orientation is based on the keyframes.

ignoreFORVobRotCam

Determines whether the orientation to reference VOB objects should be taken into account when passing through key frames.

  • TRUE — Orientation to VOB reference objects is ignored. This can be useful if VOB objects appear that are calculated by the rotation animation. After this, the orientation is taken into account only once at the beginning of the movement.
  • FALSE — Orientation is not ignored.

ignoreFORVobRotTarget

Determines the need to take into account the orientation of target key frames to reference VOB objects.

  • TRUE — Orientation to VOB reference objects is ignored. Orientation to VOB reference objects is ignored. May be necessary when rotation of reference VOBs defines animation. After this, the orientation is taken into account only once at the beginning of the movement.
  • FALSE — Orientation is not ignored.

adaptToSurroundings

Indicates the need for dynamic adaptation to the environment.

  • TRUE — Enable adaptation.
  • FALSE — Disable adaptation. The camera will not adapt to its environment. Useful in cases where the keyframes in the world have taken an absolute position (i.e. the camTrjFOR parameter is set to WORLD).

easeToFirstKey

Gives a smooth transition of camera position from the first keyframe to the last, if possible.

  • TRUE — Smooth transition if possible.
  • FALSE — No smooth transition.

easeFromLastKey

Gives a smooth transition of camera position from the last keyframe to the first, if possible.

  • TRUE — Smooth transition if possible.
  • FALSE — No smooth transition.

totalTime

The duration of the camera animation in seconds.

autoCamFocusVobName

The name of the VOB object which the camera will automatically focus.

autoCamPlayerMovable

Indicates whether the player will be able to move when moving the camera animation.

  • TRUE — The player will be able to move.
  • FALSE — The player is motionless.

autoCamUntriggerOnLastKey

Emit an OnUntrigger event after reaching the last animation frame.

autoCamUntriggerOnLastKeyDelay

Unclear.
