I've recently begun digging through the SDK and trying my hand at coding seeing as I have so much free time now after graduation (and a crappy economy).
I'm trying to create a 3rd-person, over-the-shoulder camera ala Gears of War, complete with an aiming mode that dynamically zooms the camera (and moves it "intelligently" to keep the player view open). I got one working all nice and lovely, but the file I modified was clientmode_shared.cpp. I realized this was likely a poor decision since it causes muzzle flashes and shell ejections to be messed up. Also, OB (I'm using the beta SDK) already has a 3rd person camera, so I thought I would try to modify that. However, upon looking in in_camera.cpp (the cam_think functions) it appears I only have control over the distance of the camera away from the player as well as the pitch and yaw of the camera. I can't, for the life of me, figure out how to shift the origin of the camera up and to the right like I want. Does anyone have any advice? Is it even possible to do in in_camera.cpp or do I need to override the players view camera origin in clientmode_shared.cpp like I had before? And then of course I would have to fix muzzle flashes and shell ejections, which I have no idea how to fix either. Thanks for any help anyone can offer. --Chris _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
