By default the camera will be positioned inside the head of the player triggering the command. The command is best used when bound to a key - eg. `bind p debugcamera` # Transform Controls The controls for the debug camera are fairly straightforward and mostly mimic existing movement keys. <key>W A S D</key> - Position the camera <key>MOUSE</key> - Adjust the pitch and yaw of the camera (i.e. look around) <key>Q</key> - Raise camera height <key>E</key> - Lower camera height <key>Space</key> - Slows down the [movement speed](/rust/Debug_Camera#cameraspeed) of the camera by half when held down. <key>Right Arrow</key> - Roll / rotate camera right or clockwise <key>Left Arrow</key> - Roll / rotate camera left or anti-clockwise <key>RIGHT MOUSE</key> + <key>MOUSE LEFT</key> / <key>MOUSE RIGHT</key> - Adjust roll / rotation of camera on the fly <key>UP Arrow</key> / <key>Down Arrow</key> - Adjust pitch aof the camera angle (i.e. aim up or down) # Field of View <key>Z</key> or <key>+</key> - Zoom in (increase FOV amount) <key>C</key> or <key>-</key> - Zoom out (decrease FOV amount) <key>RIGHT MOUSE</key> + <key>MOUSE UP</key> / <key>MOUSE DOWN</key> - Adjust zoom (FOV amount) on the fly ## FOV Command You can also use the command `debugcamera_fov <value>` to set the zoom/FOV to a particular value. # Reset Camera Use the <key>R</key> key to reset the field of view and roll of the debug camera to it's default state. # Speed Controls Below are the available commands for controlling speed properties of the debug camera. ## Camera Speed `camspeed <amount>` - Sets the movement speed of the camera. Default value is `1`. ## Look Speed `camlookspeed <amount>` - Sets the look speed of the camera. Default value is `1`. An amount of `0` will lock the camera angle and prevent mouse movement to aim the camera. ## Zoom Speed `camzoomspeed <amount>` - Sets the zoom speed of the camera when using [FOV](/rust/Debug_Camera#fieldofview) controls. Default value is `1`. # Lerping These commands are useful for adding smoothed movement to certain properties of the debug camera. ## Camera Lerp `camlerp <amount>` - Add lerping (smoothing) to the debug camera's movement. Default value is `1`. Lower values such as `0.01` will provide smoother results to movement of the camera. `camlerptilt <0/1>` - Enable/disable tilt and roll locomotion for lower lerp values. ## Zoom Lerp `camzoomlerp <amount>` - Adds lerping to the camera's zoom movement. Default value is `1` Useful for adding smoother movement to FOV adjustments. Lower values = smoother motion. # Save Points Use the command `debugcamera_save <name>` to save the position, angle, fov and roll of the camera. Load a camera save point by using the command `debugcamera_load <name>` **Note:** Camera save points are stored locally and can be called on any level or [demo file](/rust/Demos). Saving a camera point with the same name will overwrite the previous save state with no warning. ## Auto Save `debugcamera_autosave <0/1>` - Automatically save the debug camera state when toggling it This will save / retain the position, angle, fov and roll of the camera. ## Auto Load `debugcamera_autoload <0/1>` - Automatically load the debug camera state when toggling it ## Preserve `debugcamera_preserve <0/1>` - Preserve the initial debug camera state through game restarts ## List Save Points `debugcamera_list` - Prints out all of the saved camera points; including name, position, rotation and zoom. The total number of saved camera points is also printed at the bottom of the list. ## Clear Saves Use the command `debugcamera_clear` to remove all camera save points. # Camera Unfreeze Use the command `debugcamera_unfreeze` to unfreeze player controls whilst remaining in the debug camera view. This currently causes the camera to track the player and resets zoom + roll properties to their default state.
