Scenario editor: Stuttering camera follow trigger

  • Game Version: Release

  • Build Number: 17.43876

  • Platform: Steam

  • Operating System: Windows 10

Issue:

The triggers “Camera: Follow Unit” and “Camera: Face Unit” cause major camera and/or movement stutter.

Trigger Event:

Using the Camera: Follow Unit or Camera: Face Unit triggers in the Scenario Editor.

Repro Steps:

  1. Create a new scenario. Place a unit of your choice.
  2. Create a new trigger. Choose “Camera: Set Cut” as the first effect and center the cut on your unit. (Otherwise the camera will be stuck in the bottom of the map when playtesting.) Next, add “Trigger: Activate” as the next effect. Leave it empty for now.
  3. Create another trigger. Disable “Active”. Add the condition “Timer Seconds”, choose something like 1 second. In effects, choose “Camera: Follow Unit” as the effect and choose your unit as target. Go back to previous trigger and choose the new trigger in the “Trigger: Activate” effect.
  4. Playtest the scenario. You will now notice that the camera stutters like crazy.
