How do I start gameplay with a specific camera

Alfinch 23 December 2018 10:00

I've added a camera to my scene, but can't see how to set it as the default camera, so as soon as I start playing my Dream I'm viewing from that camera's perspective. How do you do this?

While I'm at it, how do you do the same for posessing puppets?

  I've just realised my camera is being ignored because I have a puppet in the scene for scale which is getting focus instead. I still don't see a way to change this behaviour yet though!

  You can set "force possession" or "no possession" on the puppet. The camera, if it's on, should be the default view. https://feedback.indreams.me/forums/917434-dreams-how-do-i/suggestions/36329776-how-to-force-possess-immediately

  The camera is the default view if I remove the puppet, but with the puppet there I get a third-person camera, and that's even before I've posessed it.
  
  Thanks for posting that thread - I figured it out. Needed to add a controller gadget and hook up the force posession output to the camera's power input.

  if you connect a NOT GATE to your CAMERA POWER, this will force it to on.

  Ah, so linking force posession to the camera's power just worked because it's outputting a constant signal?
