Cannot change cameraType of player (unless I change cameraDistance), and at the same time, action type is affected by cameraDistance

Bug Reports

I created a trigger and added this. I was expecting to easily change from orbit to action and viceversa:

local CameraSwitchScript = {}

-- Script properties are defined here
CameraSwitchScript.Properties = {    
}

function CameraSwitchScript:Init()
end

function CameraSwitchScript:OnTriggerEnter(player)    
    Print("Changing to action")
    player.cameraType = 1 --action
end

function CameraSwitchScript:OnTriggerExit(player)
    Print("Changing to orbit")
    player.cameraType = 2 -- orbit
end

return CameraSwitchScript

It didn’t happen so.

For this to make it work, I had to change also cameraDistance in each of both methods.

local CameraSwitchScript = {}

-- Script properties are defined here
CameraSwitchScript.Properties = {    
}

function CameraSwitchScript:Init()
end

function CameraSwitchScript:OnTriggerEnter(player)    
    Print("Changing to action")
    player.cameraType = 1 --action
    player.cameraDistance = 200 -- This number does nothing, as it always uses the 2000 value
end

function CameraSwitchScript:OnTriggerExit(player)
    Print("Changing to orbit")
    player.cameraType = 2 -- orbit
    player.cameraDistance = 2000
end

return CameraSwitchScript

But changing cameraDistance affected the distance of the action camera, when it should not affect. This behaviour can be seen in this video: https://discord.com/channels/434318690381725726/728233736637775883/747384915158499328

I finally made it work with this ugly hack:

function CameraSwitchScript:OnTriggerEnter(player)    
    Print("Changing to action")
    Print("Changing to action")
    Print(player.cameraType)
    Print(player.cameraDistance)    
    player.cameraDistance = 199
    self:Schedule(function()    
        Wait(0.1)
        Print("changing camera again")
        player.forcedCameraPerspective = 3 -- 3rd person
        player.thirdPersonFOV = 90
        player.cameraDistance = 200
        player.cameraType = 1
        end
    )
end

I would bet that the rendered value of the cameraDistance at the end is 199 (not 200), but it needs to be set so cameraType really changes. If I set to another value, it doesn’t reflect this last value.

It looks like this is related: Camera type and character speed issues

So, as a summary:

I think there are two different things: (1) the cameraDistance affecting the action camera; and (2) not being able to change the cameraType unless you change other property (cameraDistance)
