steps to create 3rd person camera(each step should be a single lite-c line)

1. define max camera distance.
2. rotate camera to desired angle( with mouse_force maybe)
3. reset camera position (-max_camera_distance,0,0)
4. rotate the camera position vector with camera angle
5. add player position to resulting position
6. trace from player to that position
7. place camera on hit.x

oh ok. i will try to figure out how to do those steps. im still going through the workshops but ill get it someday! what would you do to make the camera not able to go through walls? like if it hits a wall it zooms in? ah i suppose its not important. ill go through the workshops then ill try im on 6 atm.

I didn't get it but there is three arguments in c_trace my.x, temp.x is enough no need for vector afterword remove it.

@doc: the steps i explained includes collision, camera does not goes in to the wall, steps 6 and 7 does that.

@ quad ah good to know. thank you very much. when i learn a little more about coding via workshops, ill attempt to build a whole new 3rd person camera view with the steps youve given. thank you.

if you can't figure certain steps just ask here , i'll be glad to help.

Feel free to send me a PM, I'll give you a link to a working 3rd person camera, so you'll be able to learn from it.

ok quad, and guys, i got a working 3rd person camera going. only thing is it dosent have the option to move the camera in when it collides with a wall. can you guys help me with that?

use c_trace

i know but i dont know how to set it up... agh nvm ill figure it out -.-
