Camera Sequence Assets

Camera Sequence Assets

A Hytale plugin which adds a CameraSequenceAsset, allowing camera sequences (cutscenes, etc.) to be configured and created through the in game asset editor, or through JSON.

These sequences can then be played back using /camerasequence or /cinematic, or using a new trigger volume effect called Trigger Camera Sequence

Player Relativity

Camera sequence assets provides a toggle on each keyframe to specify that the position and rotation values should be interpreted as relative to the player. This means that a position of (5, 0, 5) refers to the point 5 blocks in front of the player, and 5 blocks to the right. It also means that a rotation of (0, 90, 0) corresponds to the direction 90 degrees to the right of the player's current facing direction. This is all taken with respect to the head rotation, not the body rotation.

Global Sequences

Whilst the main function of Camera Sequence Assets still lies with camera sequences, it also supports generic sequence assets which can be made to perform other sequenced actions.

The primary use for this is the built-in Global sequence type, which can spawn and manipulate the world with sequenced events. This is particularly useful for programming the movements of NPCs which exist only while the sequence is running, so you can have actors in your sequences.
