Weird bug in a little cutscene I made, I based it off a cog I wrote earlier (which worked fine) and I didn't change anything in the base, I just changed some keys and dialogues and made it start by crossing an adjoin in stead of on startup.

But it does really weird after the adjoin is crossed, it doesn't focus on the camera (CAM), but it stays with the player, the debugtexts on top of the screen start to HOM and then when CAM starts moving it finally focusses on it, the rest of the cog works fine.

if (jkGetSaberCam() == 1)
CycleCamera();

return;

end


What could be wrong?

Consistency checker and parsec stay silent...

I don't think the problem is caused by the cog, but by the level. Make sure that cam starts out with the correct sector. From what you say, it seems that cam is in the wrong sector to begin with, and when it crosses into a new sector after the MoveToFrame() command, it is given the correct sector and the mistake is corrected.

Also, what do you mean by "switch the player for an Actor"? And do you realize what jkGetSaberCam() is used for?

hmmm somehow jed didn't like the camera standing on an adjoin, I placed it up a bit and now it works fine.
