I've been having a recurring problem lately with my satellite shots. They always use the same shot for every match (I believe it's the first shot), as opposed to using a random one each time. Here's the snippet from my LUA:

GCW

-- Camera Stats
--OpeningSateliteShot
AddCameraShot(0.848782, 0.066194, 0.522995, -0.040787, 176.365219, 6.009165, 81.628265);

end

I think that them's the breaks - that's how satellite shots work. You can easily throw a basic random function in there to change which one is loaded first, but I've never seen any map use more than one.

the stock maps use random ones

Veriss had multiple shots set up and whenever you'd opt to play as the hero it'd load a random shot for the character-selection background. Unfortunately I no longer have the source files for Veriss so I can't see how that LUA was set up.

But whenever I refer to the stock maps their camera shot setup is different for each one. For example:

They technically are used. The first line will always be the opening one but the others will show up when: a) you try spawning with not enough points earned as an unlockable unit and b) you hit the F1 key to play as a hero. The shots are cycled through and then it repeats.

That makes sense because I usually turn heroes off. I'll give this a test. Thanks!

Edit: Yep, you were right! Thanks, AQT! I'll remember this in the future.

when I play mos eisley online every time I get a different camera shot when I start.

How sure are you of that? Because for me (and probably just about everyone else), I always get the overhead shot of the sail barge, online and offline.

When you're waiting for the spawn counter is multiplayer (before any other human players spawn) you can cycle through the opening camera shots.
