Video from the flowitem view

@Jacob Gillespie

With reference to your answer https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/45622/ser-view-on-video-recorder-as-first-person-from-op.html

I would like to know if I need to record from the first flowitem created, do I still need to place those code mentioned at the entry trigger at the source? Also where do I place the code for the hidden camera? Please advise.

Thanks

David

Since flowitems are created during the model run you will not be able to use the right click menu when using the video recorder.

You will have to call the function_s from the entry trigger.

function_s(view, "follow", flowitem);

Be sure to call this function_s on the view that you are recording. Also make sure you set a label as a flag when you follow a flowitem, that way you don't change to follow every flowitem that comes from the source.

You don't have to worry about the hidden 3D view, that is now done for you.
