Set Camera Mode (Flowgraph Node)

Overview

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

Sets the current camera mode by name (e.g., "orbit", "driver", "free").

Pin Schema

Input Pins

Behavior

• work() - Each frame, if mode is a non-empty string, calls core_camera.setByName(0, mode).

Key Dependencies

• core_camera.setByName(playerIndex, modeName) - Sets the active camera by name

How It Works

A straightforward node that continuously applies a camera mode every frame. Accepts standard BeamNG camera mode names like "orbit", "driver", "chase", "free", etc. Does nothing if the mode string is empty or nil.

Example Usage

-- Switch to orbit camera for a cinematic moment
-- Wire a string constant "orbit" into the mode pin
-- Pair with Get Camera Mode to save/restore the previous mode
