The pan

Section titled “The pan”

The view pans to the waypoint’s cell at ground level. If a bridge covers the cell, or covered it before being destroyed, the view pans to the bridge’s height instead.

A pan takes the same number of frames for a given speed, whatever the distance. Camera speed gives the number of frames each speed takes, and what a speed outside the five does.

Valid values

  • One of the five [camera speeds](/reference/enums/camera-speed/) and a scenario waypoint.
Caveats
  • The action does not lock input. If the player scrolls during the pan, the pan puts the view back on its path every frame until it arrives.
  • A second pan started before the first arrives replaces it. The new pan starts from wherever the view has reached.
