Battle Camera - GashiStudios

What It Does

The battle camera provides an immersive viewing experience during ranked and casual battles.

CobbleRanked integrates with Cobblemon’s stadium camera system via reflection. This means:

If Cobblemon’s stadium camera is available (feat-stadium-camera branch or compatible builds), cinematic cameras activate automatically
If using standard Cobblemon, the camera gracefully degrades — no errors, no missing features

Every ranked and casual match automatically gets stadium camera when available. Arena lookup uses the stadiumId setting (if configured) or falls back to the arena name.

Commands

Check current status:

/battlecamera status

Your preference is saved. It persists across sessions and server restarts.

Camera Reactions

When stadium camera is available, the camera responds to battle events:

Pokemon send-out: Focus animation on entering Pokemon
Battle events: Camera follows the action
Battle ends: Camera returns to normal view

Arena Design Tips

Open arenas work best for the camera system. Avoid tight enclosed spaces that block camera movement.
