I have had two levels where the same problem has happened, although they used different wads. The first time it happened, I had completed a good part of the level with several cameras (basic not flyby) at various points which worked fine. I then added a rolling ball but found that once triggered, any cameras triggered after that no longer worked. I removed the rolling ball and all the cameras worked again. I thought it was just a bug in that particular level but now the same thing has happened in another one. Why should a rolling ball have any effect on cameras? Is there a limit to how many cameras can be set? (Although with the first level there were not that many and once the ball was removed I added more cameras and everything worked OK).

I can rule one thing out, the rolling ball doesn't effect the camera as i've used one myself following the ball all the way to the ground in 'Little Tomb of Egypt'

I take the liberty to disagree. A ROLLINGBALL does in fact affect cameras, but to my knowledge only when it comes to rest on a trigger square. This is known to cause camera bugs.

Mulf you're a star! That was definitely the problem as both times the ball came to rest on a trigger square. I changed that and all works well.

Thanks!
