"esc" to reset cameras adds a rotation?

[Elexis Reinard]

Hello,

Thanks for opening my post!

I'm using the viewer for Mac. Thanks to help received from the forum, I now have a reliable way for restoring accurate camera placements (using debug values).

There is one parameter I can't seem to handle. After taking pictures, I hit "esc" to return to normal view. Seems that "esc" adds a slight rotation factor to the default camera placement. Hitting "esc" a couple dozen times will make that default placement to perform a full rotation. It also affects the other pre-defined camera placements (which I've altered using debug values).

Do you have the same behavior with your viewers? Maybe is there a debug value to affect this one too? I've upgraded my viewer to the last version (2.6 or something).

Thanks for your time!

Hey,

I just noticed this behavior only happens when I'm standing on a "pose stand" that contains the following script. However, the change made to the camera is permanent and I cant seem to find what to do to reset the camera.

Any help will be welcome!

I can't tell you what is going on, it sounds very odd.:smileysurprised:
I think I have a work around for you though.
Use the shortcut: Snapshot to Disk: Ctrl-`
With this your screen won't even blink and you don't have to use Esc

Note: If you have national characters on your keyboard the shortcut looks different.
I have this: Ctrl-æ on my Danish keyboard.
The key to use is where the "`" is on the English keyboard layout, next to letter "L"

More Shortcut Keys

An idea to test:)

Try to substitute the variable "r" with the constant: "ZERO_ROTATION" in this line.

llSitTarget( vLoungeTarget, r );

as it is "r" is set zero anyway

Great! thanks for sharing!

Hey thanks!

This seems to have solved my weird rotation issue :-)
