Orbit Camera

[Nash]

A simple mod I made for people who'd like to capture a rotating view of their models for social media purposes. Bind the button in the controls menu, point to an actor with your crosshair and press the button. The world will be frozen, and the camera will rotate around the actor.

Press the same key again to exit the orbiting mode.

While the camera is in orbit, you can press Page Up/Page Down to change the camera's elevation, or Home/End to change the camera's pitch. These keys are currently hardcoded, sorry!

Notes:

1) for dying monsters, you might have to point your crosshair to their feet, because actors' hitboxes in Doom are hardcoded to be really short when they die.
2) very, very short objects (like some of the blood pools in Doom) might not be capturable. I'm not sure how to fix this

Update: added camera elevation and pitch controls.

Nice! I've been playing with this for a bit. I was writing an automatic pitch adjuster, to always face the target, but then found out it's built-in to the A_Face function.
Just call A_FaceTarget like this:
A_FaceTarget(0,0);
and then it's handled automatically.

Any idea how to stop the camera from bumping up and down when it hits stairs or the ceiling? Like to turn off the automatic Z adjustment

This seems to be hard-coded behavior, the camera cannot go above the ceiling or below the floor.
