[hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
I edited the Thirdperson code in CAM_Think. I got it to put the camera behind and slightly above the player's eyes. However, whenever I get into a vehicle it goes back to the default thirdperson view of looking from the right while the player is facing forward. I can't seem to find where this is controlled in the code. Does anyone know where this is at? I've searched everywhere for thirdperson, but nothing seems to relate to the vehicle code. Any ideas? -- = SB Childe Roland I will show you fear in a handful of jellybeans. ___ To unsubscribe, edit your list preferences, or view the list archives, please visit: http://list.valvesoftware.com/mailman/listinfo/hlcoders
Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
Not sure if you read any of the peeking threads I had sent to the list, but it was basically the same problem. If you move the ViewOffsetSet on the x,y vector you need to be continuously updating because the x,y vector can change (z can also but this is used for hieght) So if you get into the vehicle while it is facing NORTH it will probably be correct, if you start to drive around will probably be off.. I had fixed my problem (might not be the best solution but it works) but Continously Setting the viewoffset every frame so if the player moved they would still be leaning the correct way. Hope that makes sense... r00t 3:16 CQC Gaming www.cqc-gaming.com - Original Message - From: SB Childe Roland [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: hlcoders@list.valvesoftware.com Sent: Wednesday, February 02, 2005 4:14 PM Subject: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle I edited the Thirdperson code in CAM_Think.

Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
I found the following section of code:
=
void CPropJeep::GetCannonAim( Vector *resultDir )
{
Vector muzzleOrigin;
QAngle muzzleAngles;
GetAttachment( LookupAttachment(gun_ref), muzzleOrigin, muzzleAngles
);
AngleVectors( muzzleAngles, resultDir );
}
=
Does anyone know how the gun_ref attachment works?
Is it looking at the player's gun's direction? If so, why, there
isn't supposed to even be a gun while in the vehicle?? I do have one
showing up, so if anyone knows how to get rid of it, I would
appreciate it.

Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
I think the easiest way to fix this would be to have the camera rotate
with the vehicle turning. Has anyone tried to do this??

Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
I think you want GetVehicleEyeOffest or something similar.
Then adjust the players offset bases on that?
Not looking at the code right now but in a few I will look at it...

Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
Yeah, i see that now, thanks for the reply Botman.
Anybody got any ideas on how to lock the thirdperson camera with the
rotation of the vehicle?

My guess is that gun_ref is an attachment point on the weapon that is
attached to the vehicle. I'm guessing GetAttachment() takes the
location and rotation of a bone (named gun_ref) and returns those
values in 'muzzleOrigin' (the location) and 'muzzleAngles' (the
rotation). It then converts the muzzle angles to a vector 'resultDir'
and that gets returned to the caller.
This function basically takes the gun_ref bone (the gun that you can
aim while driving the buggy) and returns a vector indicating which way
that gun is currently pointing.

Re: [hlcoders] ThirdPerson View in Vehicle
A few people have recently asked me how I got it working, so I think I
will be posting the solution on a thread that I started on Wavelength.
[http://forums.thewavelength.net/index.php?showtopic=11315] Check
there within a few days. It should be up by Friday night.
