I have the camera constrained to a path. But when it reaches the door I would like to have the camera follow the door as it opens. Then return to the paths direction after the door has opened so it can continue down the path. I have tried something’s but it ether did not work or it screwed up the hole scene. By sending the camera to 0,0,0 at the start of the scene.

What was it that you did to send the camera back to 0,0,0? Did you play with the enforcement setting?

Enforcement. yes that was it.

Try using the ease, in the path constraint, instead of the enforcement.

The ease only allows me to pause it along the path.

After it pauses I need to change the rotation of the camera then return it to the paths control. Or do something that will do the same thing.

Use the rotate offsets in the constraint to rotate the camera. Take note of the offsets, so you can return them to what you need when returning to the path control. And make sure you use a zere slope interpolation when animating the ease and offsets.

I sort of stombed uppon it just before you posted thanks



You just need to return th zero to returm to path control.

There used to be an "apply before" (apply after?) switch in constraints that let you animate offsets on a bone directly by manipulating it.

Is that what "Lock offsets" is now?

I think it is but I'm not to sure.

"Apply before action" is only available in a pose. In an action or chor, it is automaticly applied.
