Planetary Annihilation POV Camera / Spectator Selection / Tracking Groups

The POV camera, spectator selection and tracking groups were added in build 105067.


POV (Point of View) Camera

The POV camera shows the point of view from an individual unit.

When the POV camera is first enabled with nothing selected it will:

  • auto select and track commander for players
  • auto select and track all commanders for always spectators

The POV camera uses tracking groups to switch to another unit if the current unit dies.

Default Key Bindings

The default key bindings from settings > keyboard > camera are based on the free camera key bindings (shift to speed up):

i / k pitch forward / back
j / l yaw left / right
r / f up / down
a / d increase / decrease follow rate
w / s / scroll zoom in / out

Grab camera:

  • middle mouse

Spectator Selection

Spectator selection allows spectators and casters to select and track units while showing unit composition.

Selection groups are also enabled for spectators.

Tracking Groups

Tracking groups allow multiple units to be tracked automatically switching to another unit in the group if the currently tracked unit dies.

The currently tracked unit in the group can also be manually switched.

Default Key Bindings

The default key bindings from settings > keyboard > camera are:

t track current selection as new tracking group
shift+t add current selection to current tracking group
alt+t show next unit in tracking group
