HI all

I have a security camera and monitor setup in my level and it works great, the only thing is that when I move the monitor far away from the camera it stops work and the camera is stuck in one position and doesn't rotate anymore.

I am make a level where there is a room with the monitor and there will be several cameras around the level to monitor some areas.

Any ideas as to why the camera isn't moving when the monitor is placed far away from it?

make the camera always active in the properties panel for it, scripts stop working when far from the player otherwise

Great, I thought it was related to distance somehow.

Coming from Unity, I thought it was weird for the system to stop working as scripts attached to GameObjects/Entities always execute for the life of the object.


Any ideas as to why it's implemented that way?
How would I get the camera to alert me to the presence of an enemy within view of the camera?

Thanks!
