Follow Camera changed ?

[jerome]

Hi people,

Maybe I missed somehting in the framework changes about the cameras recently.

It seems the FollowCamera doesn't follow any longer like it used to do. In this roller-coaster PG, the camera used to follow the coach : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#1HH4OJ#5

 

Does anyone know something about the change ?

Definitely something has changed. This following PG I use as a simple example for the follow camera in my guide no longer follows.

I last checked this PG 27th January 2017 before suggesting it as a solution in a post on that day. The date may help to track any possible changes.

EDIT Appears I got that date wrong as change was back in version 2.5. See below posts.

This is because of a breaking changes I introduced in 2.5:

You now have to use camera.lockedTarget (.target property was conflicting with targetCamera.target)

Thank you for the answer. 

If you are the author of this new feature, could you please note it the "breaking changes" part of this : https://github.com/BabylonJS/Babylon.js/blob/master/dist/preview release/what's new.md  ?

 

[EDIT] sorry, it was already done here : http://doc.babylonjs.com/whats-new
