Would it be possible to include a "fly-through" mode, for creating cinematics, etc?



Maybe a modified "player start" marker that is not detected by enemies and is ignored by the physics engine so that when you run a level, you can "free-fly" through it (and use FRAPS or something to capture your sweeping vista!).

maybe a special camera that's attached to waypoints that you set up?

it could be used in the editor test mode then captured like you say.?

maybe even set it to follow the player or the boss monster for a short periods of time for making a movie scene for our games? I like this idea a lot





I did see something like this in another software for I think it was company of heroes game looked very interesting and was a pity it was only for that 1 game at current time...

have fun stay safe

An important feature in helping both users make and promote games and the Reloaded product too.



There is no other real alternative to an animated camera of some kind if not more so as to both enhance a game internally and to capture promotional footage in the way a flythrough camera can.



I would support this wholeheartedly.

make that 5 votes, I'm all for this, as story plot cut scenes are a big must to help draw people in.

Only in the imagination, can the truth be found...
