Keyboard events keep recentering the camera.

I'm writing a script that changes animations based on keyboard control (up/down/left/right/etc.) It appears that after every keypress, the camera position is reset.

Is there a way to "unlock" the camera, so that if a user presses a key (which in turn changes the current animation(s) playing) that the camera will be left wherever the user has it set?

Thanks!

You might be able to get the camera position and then set the camera position to the same position and rotation. See:

and generally:

Note that you won't exactly be able to set the camera rotation, but you could calculate a point in front of the camera given its current rotation and set its focus position based on that.

I'll tinker with that...

Something tells me that the camera movement happens before I can intercept its current position. It's worth a shot though, thanks.

Most likely, yeah. You'd probably want to be monitoring the camera pretty closely, and setting its position constantly or at least when it hasn't moved in a bit. I do hope the camera tracking gives the camera's ACTUAL position, even when alt-zoomed, but I can't really remember. It's probably worth some initial testing before you dive into a full attempt.
