Telescope Camera Issues

Open Traveler263 opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

A bug I came across in Pod12 while trying to create closeup cameras for bookshelf items using the cleftRS telescope script as a trigger mechanism (likely present in the generic telescope script as well).

It turns out if you have a clickable that triggers a telescope camera change, and that clickable is still within the view of the telescope's camera, allowing you to click on the same clickable that triggered the telescope camera change WHILE you are in the telescope camera change, it can result in the third person camera randomly jumping back to that camera after exiting the camera, in various places in the age.

So to replicate:

Create a Standard Telescope Modifier Setup > Have the telescope camera point at the telescope's triggering clickable > click on the clickable > enter telescope > click on the clickable again > 3rd person cameras will now be sticky upon exit and randomly jump back to this camera when entering other camera regions.

@Hoikas requested I make an issue, so here it is. :)

The xTelescope.py script appears to correctly disable the clickable while the telescope is in use.

clftRS.py does not disable the clickable, possibly because it was intended for a single specific purpose rather than being a generic script. That said, I don't think there would be any harm in copying the disabling logic there (a comment was copied that refers to reenabling the clickable even though that never happens)
