controll camera: view tpp

Dante190884 · 08-30-2010 10:19 PM

hello,
I have question: how to do to character don't move when we move camera?
for example: if we move camera up, the character moves with us to up in TPP View, look:

[Image: 54589409.jpg]

Code:

case VIEW_TPP:

         {

            Cam.dist=Max(1.8f,Cam.dist*ScaleFactor(Ms.wheel()*-0.1)); // update camera distance according to mouse wheel

            Cam.setSpherical(Players[0].ctrl_pos+Vec(0,0.5,0), Players[0].angle.x, Players[0].angle.y, 0, Cam.dist); // set spherical camera looking at player position with given player angles

         }

please help

put "if" before "angle.x+= angle.y+=

sorry, but don't understand. "angle.x, angle.y" influence only to camera.
I think, the "ctrl_pos" must be changed, but how?

Well angle.x and angle.y is the character direction tho.

You need something like this to edit its direction on mouse change.

PHP Code:

Flt  max=DegToRad(900)*Time.d(),
dx =Ms.dir_ds.x*1.7,
dy =Ms.dir_ds.y*1.7*Ms.inv();
                
angle.x-=Mid(dx,-max,max);
angle.y+=Mid(dy,-max,max); 

And the camera moves on character angle.x and angle.y smile

this code have tutorial "Camera modes". But the character look down, when camera look down. And i want to the character dont look down then.

Dynad · 08-31-2010 04:35 PM

So you want only look left and right but not up and down?

use this instead?:

PHP Code:

Flt  max=DegToRad(900)*Time.d(),
dx =Ms.dir_ds.x*1.7,
dy =Ms.dir_ds.y*1.7*Ms.inv();   

if(Ms.b(1)) 
{     
angle.x-=Mid(dx,-max,max);
angle.y+=Mid(dy,-max,max);         
}else{
angle.x-=Mid(dx,-max,max);    
}

no.
if camera look down, the "character" must be still look forward (not animated). In all game Tpp this works.

Dynad · 08-31-2010 05:14 PM

Ah ic if thats the case use the Cam functions.

e.g
Cam.setSpherical();
Cam.setPosDir(Cam.matrix.pos, Cam.matrix.z, Cam.matrix.y);
Cam.updateVelocities();
Cam.set();

Dante190884 · 08-31-2010 05:33 PM

not in this the thing. Really, i don't know yet how works this trick. I think, the Vec ctrl_pos must be changed.

Dynad · 08-31-2010 05:55 PM

Well if the camera looks up or down whatever are you changing the pos of the character?? Thats kinda weird don't you think?

Dante190884 · 08-31-2010 07:41 PM

@Dynad: read caution

Dynad · 08-31-2010 07:58 PM

Well i have read your post again and my conclusion is that i don't really understand what u want tho... for only camera movement just use the Cam functions what i said a few posts earlier.
