Camera Settings - Need Help

[jcikal]

Is there any way to center the screen whenever a unit moves, to centre the screen on that unit? and also to put a small delay before the next unit move. Maybe that way I could see the AI movements/battles

Please help

Hello,

I don't know how to do that... I see the battle and the screen centers automatically on the unit for my game... Have you tried to change the options ?

Well I want to be able to see the AI's units move and battle as well, those are the ones I'm interested in seeing with the Camera. I can see my units movements/battles just fine, but I can't seem to be able to watch the AI's units actually moving/battling.

CyUnit.centerCamera() in python should centre the camera if you set it to trigger on onUnitMove. The delay might be slightly more tricky. I'll run a few tests for you.

EDIT: Bad news. It's probably possible, but it ain't easy. I may look into it some more tomorrow. I don't have a trouble with centring the camera, but the camera takes time to centre, and by the time it does the next unit is moving, and it has to centre on the new unit. The simple forms of delay I've tried don't work - I might have to see if I can get it to require a user input.

Gee thanks Great Apple, please keep me posted of any new findings

Hello,

Sorry for my simple question: have you tried the "options" screen of the game? You have the possibility to see the move of your ennemies and I think the fight too but I didn't test it...

 

[jcikal]

Yes I did but to no avail. I still cannot see the enemy moves/battles when they are made. This was very simple stuff to do in Civ 3 just using the debug feature. I don't know why they decided not to implement this feature on CIV 4 (or at least make it very hard to accomplish).

Has anyone found anything yet?

 

[jcikal]

Anything yet? surely maybe some python code or even the SDK?

 

[jcikal]

oh good Lord,someone has to know!!!

 

[jcikal]

Please...I really want to be able to see the AI as they are battling each other and as they are building their cities and just moving around. I have tried everything possible within the game and nothing works.

Question to Great Apple: Did you find anything about camera settings?
