Welcome to DynamicCam!
DynamicCam automates camera transitions (and settings) between the many different 'situations' that your character can find themselves in.
Using the new ActionCam settings reintroduced in 7.1, experience the game in a new way! E.g.:
- Zoom slow or fast depending on mouse wheel speed.
- Use custom situations to automatically zoom in/out when indoors/outdoors.
- Use custom situations to rotate the camera while teleporting.
- Use predefined view during NPC interaction.
- A camera over shoulder offset makes your character animations look more interesting.
- Focus the camera on enemies or NPCs during interaction.

Thanks for your addon.
I tend to play top down and find my view distance is very narrow on an ultrawide monitor. Is it possible to offset in the vertical axis rather than L/R as the 'camera shoulder offset' slider.
Essentially moving the character to just above my action bars rather than the center of the screen.
In reply to Slootimus:
Have you tried the pitch options?
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
Apologies, I had missed enabling the dynamic pitch! I was fiddling and not noticing any changes.
Appreciate it.
In reply to Slootimus:
Your feedback is appreciated. I am always thinking about how to make the GUI more accessible.
Thanks a lot for this addon and your work.
Is it possible when you reach a certain zoom out level to cancel the Dynamic Pitch?
Most of the time I like to have a custom pitch, but in certain fights I just want to zoomout far away and have my character centered so I can dodge/see stuff easier.
In reply to Kuimera:
I see what you mean. This is quite similar to the "Adjust shoulder offset according to zoom level". I could make an "Adjust pitch according to zoom level" option.
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
I did saw that option, if you have the time, I would love to have the same thing but for the pitch.
Thanks again bud.
Hi,
creating a new custom situation seems to be bugged. After clicking the button you can't scroll down the page at all and after a few seconds I get a warning the the addon creates many LUA errors.
In reply to marajango:
Oh yeah, my bad! Thanks for the heads up. Should be fixed with 1.4.1.
Hello there,
i asked myself "why my Headless Horseman's Hearthstone won't make the rotate camera start", then i found this:
_on the "Hearth/Teleport" Situation (in game), in the "Initialization Script" part we got 39 ID spells (and the "171253" is 2 times present)
_on the "Core.lua" from line 752 to line 810 we got 59 ID spells.
it seems it missed some Teleport spells in the "Initialisation Script" for start the cam rotation.
So i copied all ID from the "Core.lua" and replace the Initialisation Script in game by:
556, 3561, 3562, 3563, 3565, 3566, 3567, 8690, 32271, 32272, 33690, 35715, 49358, 49359, 50977, 53140, 54406, 75136, 88342, 88344, 94719, 120145, 132621, 132627, 136508, 168487, 168499, 171253, 176242, 176248, 189838, 192084, 192085, 193759, 216016, 222695, 224869, 227334, 225428, 225434, 225435, 225440, 225436, 231504, 231505, 278244, 278559, 281403, 281404, 285362, 285424, 286031, 286331, 286353, 298068, 308742, 312372, 326064, 340200

Next time i will look at my Drood Teleport spells, i want it turning around too so after every drood can admire their teleport animations hihihi

In reply to MofSeth:
Hey, thanks for that. Your issue gave me the idea of adding "Default" buttons to the situation events and situations, which are visible whenever your custom setting is not what the current default is. Because this has been your problem: you customised your "Initialization Script" at some time when there were still 39 spell IDs, and that's how you missed all the updates bringing more spell IDs. So far there has been no other way to reset a script than to erase the entry in the WTF file. The new buttons can do this in game.
I also added the spells you dug up. Thanks! Except "Create Soulwell". Even though I agree that a rotation while casting this looks really cool, we should make this an extra situation as it is not even related to player teleportation.

i really don't know how channeling spells works with this addon feature.
btw i'm happy to be usefull, thank you for the update i was really happy to see it :D
:3
In reply to MofSeth:
Cool! If you want to find out which spell id a spell is, use /eventtrace.
This opens a window in which all events are logged. I would advise to make a macro for "/eventtrace start" and "/eventtrace stop" so you can start and stop the log quickly, which is needed when you are in a hub zone were events are spamming all the time.
When you start a spell, look out for the UNIT_SPELLCAST_START event. When you hover over its entry you see its arguments. arg3 is the spell ID.
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
great, thank you for all informations :3
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
I ditto the idea of a default button, would be great to have it! It could be greyed out when the settings match the default values.
In reply to Shushudaa:
You already have it since 1.4.0. :-) The buttons are not greyed out but hidden when your scripts are the same as the default.
Hi hi, Seem to be having an issue with Dynamic Cam, where everytime I enter combat, my shoulder offset is reset to 0.
It will automatically fix itself if I zoom in or out or leave combat with the world situation enabled.
I don't recall when this started happening. But it was quite a few updates ago, and I just sorta assumed it was an easy to spot bug that would get fixed eventually.
I've already tried removing the WTF and Cache data related to DynamicCam and reset it to 0. Reinstalled, all that jazz, but this issue is still present.
Before I used to have every situation disabled, and was able to keep the shoulder offset the same no matter what, but this has become just a minor nuisance having to zoom in/out to fix the offset.
In reply to Clanes:
Thanks for reporting this. That's really odd. I could not reproduce it just by enabling the "World (Combat)" situation. Could you please export your profile and post the string here?
In reply to LudiusMaximus:
Compressed a folder with all the files involved into a google drive file here
In reply to Clanes:
Thanks, but actually what I meant was that you used the "export profile" function within dynamic cam and paste the export string right here in the forum. Then I can easily import your settings and don't have to backup and override my own wtf files.
