In a couple of levels that I've played I've seen where Lara, herself, will look at a specific object. Her head will turn to look at something. Is that hard to do? If not, would someone please tell me how to make her do that.

Thank you very much!

Lara's camera follows automatically, but when you want Lara to specifically look at something...like a ledge she is trying to reach, etc...then just use camera targets and triggers without the camera itself and she will physically (virtually) turn her head and look at the target, even if she is still moving/swimming.

Really? That is very cool, wish you'd told me that a couple of days ago.

Thanks Monolith! "Specifically looking at something" was what I was shooting for. Thanks for the tip about not using the camera itself. Very much appreciated, indeed.

Sandman,

As Monolith said, you have to put a target nullmesh on the object or place you want lara to look at. Then place the trigger for that target under Lara's feet (ie, at the location and moment when you want lara to look at the object on her trajectory) and, in the trigger box, specifie "target" in the object description...
Then, it should work...

It almost makes me wish I hadn't already posted up my level!
