This action works properly anc copies the location from one object to the other.

<MTSAction Name="nametester" >
<MTSCopyProperty Src="namevariable::loc_" Dest="object2::loc_" />
</MTSAction>

I want to copy the location of one object to become the pivot point of the MTSCamera. Why doesn't this work correctly?

<MTSAction Name="nametester" >
<MTSCopyProperty Src="namevariable::loc_" Dest="MTSCamera:vt_" />
</MTSAction>

Thank you for your help.

Hi Kenny !!

The property for the Camera Pivot is "pivt" and not "pivt_"

Remove the underscore.

Also I am doubtful if copying the location of the Object will help changing the Camera Pivot.

But you can always give it a shot...

All the Best.

If you'd like to copy an object's pivot value to the camera pivot's value you'll need to use a dummy object as a conduit between the original object's WorldMatrix and the camera pivot location.

  
	<MTSAction Name="set_camera_pivt" >
		<MTSCopyProperty Src="MTSInstance.some_instance::WorldMatrix" Dest="MTSInstance.placeholder::Matrix" />
		<MTSCopyProperty Src="MTSInstance.placeholder::loc_" Dest="MTSCamera::pivt" />
	</MTSAction>

Hi viewpointED,
I'm interested with your posted message.
My first question is :
It's not possible to set an object's pivot value to the camera pivot's ?

If not, I tested your MTS code in MTX file but I don't understand what is 'MTSInstance.placeholder'. I replaced 'MTSInstance.some_instance' by my MTSInstance clicked but what is placeholder.

Thanks in advance for your help.
