Improve Move camera to object #709

Open ampersand38 opened 1 year ago

ampersand38 commented 1 year ago

When merged this pull request will:

Add setting for alternate mode for Move camera to selected entity key, with object selected
Alternate mode is a consistent 20 m above and behind the object, centered on object
CQB mode moves camera to top-rear of object bounding box, angled so horizon is in view, useful when unit is inside multi-floor structure
Repeated keypresses switch between modes

Behaviour for waypoints and markers are not changed

Looks like the base game keybind behaviour is still visible and there is a "flicker" before the camera is moved to the CQB view. Ideally, we should override the behaviour of the base game keybind.

I can add a keybind set to block the base game key. The base game behaviour is kind of weird, it looks up at flying aircraft which is totally useless, and ends up toggling between angles on subsequent presses. For the "far" view I would want to do something like 20 m above and behind, and centered on the object.

What do you think?

Yeah, that could work. Maybe also consider the size of the object and a minimum distance.

Just noticed current method breaks vanilla lock camera to object =( and also activates while typing in search field
