markshot Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 I've tried turning this option on and off, but I don't see any difference on how to map rotates. What do I need to do with the map or keyboard in order to change the way the map rotates? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest PondScum Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 Rotate-around-a-point OFF: the "virtual camera" moves in a circle around the selected unit or point, always pointing at it. Think of it as a camera on a helicopter that's flying in a circle, but always pointed towards the middle (aka circle-strafe in FPS games ) Rotate-around-a-point ON: the position of the "virtual camera" is fixed in space, but its direction is not. Think of it as a rotating camera fixed on top of a pole. If you're using an overhead view (5-8), rotate-around-a-point makes no difference.
