BATTLECAM™
on: December 17, 2015, 06:06:37 pm

Built-in feature in the Star Wars RTS Empire at War, during any battle you could hit a key to just sit back and watch the fireworks.

Can we do something similar with scripting? It could be fun to set up simple BofE missions in FRED and set the player protected/invulnerable.

We have the free camera script, should be pretty trivial to use that.

I think the real question is can you do it BETTER.
As neat as the EaW battlecam was, it was janky at times picking funky camera angles and focusing on random minor skirmishes ignoring a really interesting battle.
