Camera Code

[Jman3ooo]

Does anyone know how the camera code works?.

I need this information for a mod I am making.

 

I did a quick search for camera and came up with nothing helpful..

Thank you!

By 'camera' - what are you talking about? I did some checking in to the cg_view, but if you're talking about something that's only in the SP code, forget it, you'll prolly have to write it yoself to have it in MP.

I eam what is the code that defines where the camera is?

 

For example Say I wanted to make it so I c the person from the front instead of behind(mp of course.)

[Wudan]

you mean, 3rd person or 1st person? That's in cg_view.c and cg_draw.c, It's pretty crazy to change around that stuff. What kind of effect are you going for?

I was hoping to make something like a side view, front view, and a matrixspin.

Actually, I've been working on something like that - so that the Jedi can 'see' around corners better, like a latent ability. It wouldn't be that hard, really, I'll look in to it.

 

The matrix spin would be harder, it'd be like ... slowing everything waaaaaaaay down within a radius of the player ... and making a move execute ... while the camera does a matrix'ish rotate around the player. Not impossible, just hasn't been done.

If you're just looking for a way to change the camera angles in game, there are a lot of camera view commands you can use. I won't list them unless you need them.
