<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>A [[camera]] is an entity in the game that allows players to view what is happening in the virtual world.<br /> <br /> [[Guild Wars]]' only camera options are vector facing and zoom. Most other games have options that modify the angles or movement control of cameras.<br /> <br /> Guild Wars' camera operates on three separate axes XYZ, with X (radial) controlling horizontal movement, Y (radial) controlling vertical movement and Z (linear) controlling zoom. Z's distance from the player is measured in an unknown unit that is always a positive rational number ranging from 25 (zoomed all the way in) to 750 (zoomed all the way out). This range cannot be artificially changed (through the use of, for example, a memory scanner or an in-game trigger; an attempt to input a value that does not qualify results in the value being rounded to the nearest applicable number: inputting -3, for example, results in the value of 25). It assumed that the in-game cinematic cameras that allow for further zoom in fact either A) reposition the character in mid-air (which the system does permit) or B) use an entirely different camera mechanic, one that may be more difficult to access.<br /> <br /> X and Y operate on [[W:Radian|radians]], which befits their nature as radial axes. These axes ''will'' permit &quot;incorrect&quot; values, which are compensated for by adjusting the camera until a satisfactory radial value is reached -- in-game, this can be observed as a very rapid spinning of the camera along the given axis. Negative values will result in the camera spinning in the opposite direction.<br /> <br /> Camera information is stored client-side, not server-side. It is unknown whether [[ArenaNet]] is able to observe or access a player's camera usage.<br /> <br /> {{anomaly|Sometimes, if you try to move your character backward pressing the corresponding key (&quot;S&quot; by default) when they are attacked by a foe, the camera may unexpectedly turn in the opposite direction, i.e. away from the foe. As a result, you need to run forward to continue.}}<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> *[[Z-axis]]<br /> <br /> {{User interface nav}}<br /> [[Category:User interface]]</div>
