Really pathetic issue that I can't figure out.....

Hey guys,

  Ok, so this could be either a really noob question or it could be something I never figure out..ahhaa. Anyways, I decided that I wanted to start doing some more mapping again tonight and set the whole sdk up for beta 3 and so on (finally got it all done). However, as soon as I loaded it up and made a couple of walls with the tool I then decided "hey, lets go look at my walls and see how they look" right? Well wrong, as soon as i hit "z" on my keyboard to go into "free camera mode" I get stuck in this eternal spinning in the window either looking down or looking up. No matter what key on my keyboard I hit it doesn't stop it from spinning as soon as I try to move anywhere. On top of that, I have restarted hammer and tried it on the left 4 dead authoring editor and they both continue to do that. Both are stuck in an endless spinning. I never had this problem with the ep1 engine when I used to map. Anybody have any ideas how to fix this so I can make a block wall and look at it and actually start mapping again? :D It would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys,
Saint

I used to get a problem similar to this where the camera would start flying in one direction and couldn't be stopped until I smacked my keyboard enough for it to stop out by the outskirts of the grid. Try doing something like that, hit every key on you keyboard from left to right until it stops (I know it sounds stupid, but it works). Restarting Hammer usually can fix the issue too.

Anyway, I usually use the little buttons on the left side of hammer instead of keyboard shortcuts to avoid messing anything up.

Once you make the spinning stop, select the camera tool, and click in one of the 2D views to place it. Then use the 3D window to navigate to your brush.

well that is the thing man...I have restarted hammer multiple times and it still does this same shit. It is really getting on my nerves. I can't navigate at all. I guess I will try your suggestion of hitting the keyboard (sounds fun) but other than that, can anyone else be of assistance?

Jeron [SharpSh00tah]:
do you have "-engine ep2" in the start up commands?

CCsaint10:
yep, tried that with you man. Still doing it....it also did it in the episode 1 engine now. I don't get it.... Anyone else have any ideas?
