Individual cameras for individually controlled sackbots

[jjmusicman]

It's ridiculous that such a simple idea is almost impossible to execute without coming here for help.

I can't get a Sackbot controlled by Sackboy to have the game camera follow him. If I use a movie camera, I have to set it to "infinite hold" which means if I ever leave the controllinator, the camera will never reset back to normal. I can't use game cameras because they don't have an option as simple as "follow tag" or "follow sackbot" which would make things much easier

EDIT: I found out a simpler way to do it in one of the tutorials. Still boggles my mind that MediaMolecule didn't make such a feature so simple. Sheesh.

EDIT2: STill doesn't work. The DCS doesn't even control the Sackbot anymore. He just doesn't move.

Use a game camera and follow the sackbot yourself on an invisible piece of hologram.
Set the cutscene camera to infinate hold and then trigger a 0.1s cutscene camera to cancel it.

I tried the first option but now the DCS doesn't even cause the Sackbot to move...whether on remote control or on direct control. He just doesn't move....

Shouldn't make any difference. Transmitter on hologram and make the hologram follow, receiver with matching color on the sackbot, ensuring that the receiver is set to override sackbot.

It defo works.

Finally got it to work. Not sure what was wonking it up previously. o_o
