Does anyone have an idea of how to code a camera that follows the player in a car for a certain distance and if the car gets to far ahead it zooms in, also if the car turn's left the camera show's the left side of car and goes back to following the player from a distance? Like in GTA San andreas!..

I have the started with this as reference

CAMERA_dist.z = -100; //-up+down
CAMERA_dist.y = -20;//side to side
CAMERA_dist.x = 300;//in and out

Is this to complicated for anyone here to do? If not why no replies, at least saying If I could I would or something, some community...

Because sometimes it just takes a while before someone replies. Patiene grasshopper....

hmmm try to look at sin/cos (fsin/fcos)

and here a snippet you can use to make movement smooth:

Code:

---

camera.pan += ang(player.pan-camera.pan)*0.3*time_step;//change 0.3 for "smoothness"

---

Well.. Now some replies thank for replaying I feel like a human again

..o yeah Thanks!

Many people never get replies at all so dont be so pushy, just accept what everyone else does or go somewhere else actually.
You've posted the same in another thread and that is one hell of a way to get yourself ignored

What does it mean to be ignored? No one who has 'ignored' you will ever know of your posts, just the references others use to answer you.

If after a day of no reply(Better, 2 days) you may freely bump or repost for attention without attracting MOD interest otherwise, its your call.

I cant really speak for anyone else but I have to say this to you.
Your apology is gratefully received and appreciated

It may sound harsh but I was hoping to catch you before the silent critics get in for a bit of restorative justice like actually choosing to ignore, ranting back (good for flame wars)or directly insulting.
In other words, it could get a little uncomfortable with your present avatar and may affect many in a negative way.

Still, I did that too in my 'youth' and was Moderated for it, several times in fact but in the end I learnt a little patience (didnt really have any before as I wanted everything NOW.)

I hope thats quite clear as to the why's and wherefores and not as a MOD getting heavy, I'm just an oppinionated user who is long past being a MOD.

Nemisis - I think you are returning to your basic self again. There is no need of such a long ranting in public forums as you are Mod now and you could have used PM for warning the poor Chap. Leash your thoughts and take control over your temperament.
