Newcomers DBPro Corner / Why has my camera changed when my code hasn't?

To put it simply, I have the following code:



This worked perfectly as it should.

Then I added a for loop that generated some spheres.

It still worked perfectly.

Later, I decided to remove the spheres.

Suddenly, the camera is pointing up into the sky instead of following the player (a box) and I have done nothing to the camera code above or any of the variables used in that function.

Any ideas?

EDIT: How interesting. Adding another object to the program has fixed the camera? This is rather confusing.

Turn it off and see what happens without the second object.

Well then that's your problem, you're allowing DBPro to adjust the camera where it wants (ie. when you load an object). You can't really complain if you give something control over something and said something gets adjusted in a way you don't like.

[edit] Just to clarify, I'm referring to having the autocam on, not using set camera to follow.
