Hi all

I discovered recently that "goto" does not work as I would expect.

See post at scs
http://forum.scssoft.com/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=236566
for long sad story, but the short version is this:

"goto" now takes 5 args, separated by semicolons. They are the same 5 values that get saved when you do a "bug report snapshot" from within the game. So you would expect that if you "goto" that string of values (just paste them into the devcon), you would end up exactly in the same position and orientation as you were when you pressed the bug report key/button.

SCS forum confirms the interpretation of the values as "x;y;z;a;e" where a and e are azimuth and elevation.

However my experiments so far show that the last two args are ignored, and any "goto" with 5 arguments uses only the first 3 and leaves the camera at the default offset (pretty high off the terrain) and pointing straight down. Editing the first 3 args and reissuing the command results in visible changes in POV. Editing the last 2 args never has any effect at all.

This is frustrating because I'm doing some debug/devel stuff and would very much like to be able to "goto" any recorded location, landing in the correct orientation (at road level and facing in the right direction). Can anyone else verify that "goto" with 5 arguments works, or does not work, on their OS? I'm wondering whether this is a general bug, or just the OSX version, or just v1.26, or even a mod interaction (though the latter seems unlikely, iirc it is equally broken with or without PM).

Camera arguments work in map editor for me but not in game, IIRC.

fwiw the official opinion at scs forum appears to be "fixed in 1.27".

[a few days later] CONFIRMED this is fixed in 1.27, all 5 args to goto are now honoured. this is great!
