Linda Reddevil Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 I used to be able to place my cam facing my avatar and then using my up arrow I'd turn around and start walking. Now when I do this my cam just flips to the backside of my avatar and I don't move. Does anyone have any idea what setting I may have changed. I used to use this technique when I was modeling in SL and it made life easier to just cam around and arrow up to seamlessly turn around and walk back down the runway when I had a turn to make. Here are my Movement Settings in Preferences but I don't see anything here that would alter the way the arrow key worked before. Any suggestions are welcome! https://gyazo.com/7d222bfb401ba718f3c844c1deeff48a 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mollymews Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 you have described as should happen is how the viewer works by default trying to narrow down what a cause might be then a question when you say that you don't move when press the up key, do you not move at all ? or do you have to release the up key and then press it again to move ?

Zeta Vandyke Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Not sure exact which of the settings, but you might have accidentally turned something on/off in the phototools/camera settings. It's in the Firestorm "World" menu I believe (not at home now so can not doublecheck). There's several camera angle and lock settings in there.

If you dont move, while your avatar still makes the walking animation, then you have movelock enabled most likely.

Linda Reddevil Posted August 16, 2019 Author Share Posted August 16, 2019 I should clarify that I can eventually move so that's not an issue. It's just that before when I'd face the cam in front and hit arrow up, I'd not only turn around but I'd start walking in that direction too. Now when I hit the up arrow the only thing that moves is my cam back to its normal position behind me. Then I can walk.... I do spend a lot of my time taking pics so it's very possible I changed a setting in phototools but not sure which one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dont know a lot about the phototools, and if those could mess up your movement. But have you already hit all the "D" buttons to have some options set back to default?

Maitimo Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 There is a setting called "reset camera view on avatar movement". I am pretty sure its in the Phototools Camera Tools and not the Preferences. I used it to get a side-view of me riding my horse. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use Firestorm on my work computer and I tried the technique I was speaking of and it works there. So I'm going to take screenshots of my Preferences there and compare them to the ones that are at home. Unless of course FS messed things up with their latest release. I've updated FS at home and not at work. Crossing my fingers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whirly Fizzle Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Preferences -> Move & View -> View -> Reset camera position on avatar movement. You need to tick this setting to get the behaviour you want. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda Reddevil Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 All the settings are the same as they are on my work computer and it's still not working. I'm out of options other than uninstalling the newest version of FS which is the only difference between my work and home computers. The reset camera position on av movement is checked. I don't have MoveLock enabled. I'm in a panic as to why it won't work on my home computer. 😕 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
