Yes, i need someone to make a cinematic camera view for jk, that would replace the 1st person view... this is for Dark Fist, i would do it myself, but i'm too busy with other coding for the mod, i can barely handle the weapons coding... So. Cinematic camera. kthx.

He means like a TV cam. So the camera sits still and follows the player as he moves across the screen. So when the player passes the camera it looks at him the whole time, but never moves from its spot.

Or I think thats what he means [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif]

yeah, a bit like that, except the camera should move so that it's never too far away from the camera. so when player gets too far from it, it moves to a new position.

So if a player was running through a corridor, the camera would stay where it is until the player went a certain distance away from it, then switch to a position down the hall where the player is running to to watch it?

this is mainly for the melee mode, but basically, yes

Make this cog the class cog for your camera, and use one of my camera cogs in this thread to switch the camera around.

[War of the cogs, eh? Okay, take this!]

Code: 
#12/2002 GBK
Symbols
Message Created
Message Pulse
Thing Cam		Local
Thing Player		Local
End
Code
Created:
Cam = Getsenderref();
Player = JKgetlocalplayer();
Setpulse(0.01);
Stop;
Pulse:
If(Getdebugmodeflags() == 0x400) Setpulse(0.0005); 	
Else Setpulse(0.01);
Setthinglook(Cam, Vectorsub(Getthingpos(Player), Getthingpos(Cam)));
Stop;
End


Haha! Beat that!

I already did one and am about to release it to Massassi.

GBK got it right though, but you have to set the pulse higher, at least 0.02 or 0.01 or else it looks REALLY crappy.

Uhh . . . WTF? This would HAVE to be a level cog. There wouldnt be any way to get the camera right otherwise.
