camera smooth turn prolem - 06/06/11 18:06

Hello!
This code smoothly turns an entity toward target entity, but if i use it to turn the camera smoothly toward the target entity(turn the camera independent of any player etc) the camera keeps turning doesn't stop reaching the target angle?

Code:

VECTOR a,b;
vec_diff(a,cover.x,my.x);
vec_to_angle(b,a);
camera.pan+=ang(b.x-my.pan)*0.3*time_step;

Describe your problem more precisely in different words.

The player runs toward cover once reached he turns oposite the wall. The camera should now smoothly turn to face player(not behind him, it is wall behind him).
I hope i could describe the situation.

camera.pan+=(ang(b.x)-ang(my.pan))*0.3*time_step; // maybe - can remember i once had such a problem...

found this... maybe it helps

Code:

// turn an object to an destination
function turnto(ENTITY* pe, var* ppos, var* p_speed){
var lva[3];
	
	vec_set(temp, ppos[0]);	
	vec_sub(temp, pe.x);
	vec_to_angle(lva[0], temp);
	c_rotate(pe, vector(ang((lva[0])-(pe.pan))*p_speed[0]*time_step, ang((lva[1])-(pe.tilt))*p_speed[1]*time_step, ang((lva[2])-(pe.roll))*p_speed[2]*time_step), IGNORE_ME|IGNORE_PASSABLE);

}
