Get Camera Mode (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

• Node Name: Get Camera Mode
• Category: repeat_instant
• File: extensions/flowgraph/nodes/scene/camera/getCameraMode.lua

Gets the name of the currently active camera mode (e.g., "orbit", "driver", "free").

Pin Schema

Output Pins

Behavior

• work() - Each frame, queries core_camera.getActiveCamName(0) and outputs the result.

Key Dependencies

• core_camera.getActiveCamName(playerIndex) - Returns the string name of the active camera for the given player

How It Works

A minimal provider node that continuously outputs the current camera mode string. Useful for branching logic based on what camera the player is using.

Example Usage

-- Read the camera mode and branch on it
-- e.g., check if mode == "orbit" to trigger a cinematic sequence
-- Pair with Set Camera Mode to implement camera mode toggling
