    Having trouble with the camera

    I can't zoom out/in my camera at all on my main, I've had this problem for about a year now and have just been too lazy to do much to fix it. I've gone into the menu/options and changed the camera settings but nothing happens and I've also tried just about every scripted command you can find to try and fix it. Basically nothing is fixing this problem. Now the weird thing is, the camera problem only affects ONE character(my main), I can zoom the camera on all my other characters without any problems. My main is a tauren warrior tank and since taurens take up so much of the screen, I've had to find alternatives. I've been using Savory Deviate Delights to make my character smaller. Can anyone give me some advice on the matter?

    Did you check the key-bindings in the options menu?

    Check your keybindings; there should be something along the lines of [Zoom In] and [Zoom Out]. Bind them to whatever.

    Yeah, tried that months ago.

    Try pressing the Ins/Del/Home/End/PgUp/PgDn keys and see if any of that works.

    Nope, nothing :/
    I might have to just re-download WoW and see if that fixes anything...

    Could be related to the preset views.
    Try using, and resetting view 3 with the following.
    Code:
    /script SetView(3);ResetView(3);
    Try zooming out one increment at a time with repetition of
    Code:
    /script CameraZoomOut(1);
    You can try setting how far the camera is allowed to zoom out, and the factor by which it can do with
    Code:
    /console cameraDistanceMax 50
    /console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 5
    • not so sure of the value on the second line, since a range isn't stated

    Just for reference the cameraDistanceMax is limited to 50, and the factor will multiply with the value.

    For example:

    /console cameraDistanceMax 50

    =

    /console cameraDistanceMax 25
    /console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 2

    =


    /console cameraDistanceMax 10
    /console cameraDistanceMaxFactor 5

    etc.
