Camera Question

Post by Sonsai »

This just happened, radomly. My camera, I have it set on number 1. So when I right click in the Radiant 2d Window, it continues to travel in that direction, unless I click out of Radiant, i.e the Windows Start Button. Any idea what's going on?

Have you tried restarting your computer, sometimes Radiant goes mental on me too, but i just restart my computer and all is fine again.

I've tried messing with camera 1, push all the mouse buttons at the same time, push keys and mouse buttons at the same time, etc. etc., it won't change on my PC.

Maybe you should put all your valued files in a safe place and re-install Radiant?

Or you can try every camera command listed in 'Help' ---> 'Command list'?

Wish we could help :cry:

I have this same problem. And from what I've heard, nearly everyone else does, too. It's not a big deal, usually. As long as you have another window open behind radiant that is maximized (i.e. not in window mode) then you should be fine. It is quite a nuisance, either way :?

i dont know if this is what your talking about, but this always happens to me...

im on cam 1. if i hold w to go forward, and i put my mouse on one of the tabs, (file, edit) then the camera keeps going forward even if i let go of w, and i gotta click something else up like start to make it stop.

Yes, exactly same thing Alcoholic, except it's whenever I move, I don't press anything else. I'll try your way FoShizzle, and thanks for the concerns guys.

There's options for triple buffering and the likes, you know. I believe it's in the View menu
