00031: update camera targets to store parent node info

« 00030 | Issues | 00032 »

Summary: update camera targets to store parent node info

Created: 2007–04–09 12:51

Status: Released

Category: Request

From: frankie

Version: 1.0

Released_In: 1.1

Description:
The camera targets script does not currently record the parent node as part of the xyz info it uses (it uses pos wrt ORBITER_STRUCTURE and uses ORBITER_STRUCTURE as the parent).

The default behavior for the EDGE release could be to always track the pos wrt the current parent and record the parent info into the target file so it will follow moving objects. This seems to be more inline with exploration user expectations.

Comments

NOTE: This will probably include a renaming of the camera_targets.tcl script to aviod confusion with the original since the "non-parent-relative" behavior is still the desired behavior for other programs such as shuttle and station. —frankie

It was also updated to reparent targets to this node so that the view is always relative to the parent when the target was saved. The script was renamed to cam_targets_rel.tcl so there wouldn't be any confusion with the original since the original behavior is what is desired for other programs such as shuttle and station.
