Camera target issue

**Jake LaBotta** · 04-11-22, 21:03

Hi everyone,

I have an issue with some camera targets.
They used to work just fine, but now some of them flash when triggered, like I only see them for less than half a second. Did somebody experience something similar?
I wouldn't know what to do, my take would be to change them and use flyby cameras instead of targets but I've got quite a lot of them now and it would be tedious. Maybe has to do with level complexity?

Thank you in advance

Judging from your description it seems like you have some rollingballs going through any kind of trigger
Whenever a rollingball steps on a trigger tile and there's a camera showing up, it will cut off (unless it's the rollingball itself that triggers it), that's why you see even a 1-frame shot sometimes
So in short, make sure they don't step (or even worse stay still) on a trigger tile when a camera is showing up

Sadly no rollingballs, regular switch+trigger+camera triggers. I should mention this happens with triggers in flipped rooms - may this have to do with it? it's weird though because it didn't happen before

Maybe you're using too many flipmaps IDs? How many are you using at the moment?
