How do I make this kind of cam? - 04/05/08 09:41

I want to make camera to see the right side of the player. But if I use

Code:

camera.pan = player.pan + 90

(+90 = to make the camera in the right side of player)
Everytime the player turn around, the cam turn around too. How do I make the camera shot the right side of the player but player's movement doesn't affect the camera?

Thanks in advance

don't write your code in a while loop!
your code shurly looks like this:

Code:

 

function my_camera()
{
   while(1) {
   camera.pan = player.pan + 90;
  }
}

------ but you have to write it outside a loop like this

Code:

 

function my_camera()
{
   camera.pan = player.pan + 90;

  while(1) {
   .........
   ....
   ...
  }
}

IF you move your entity in all 3 dimensions the code for the camera will be longer. But there are some tutorials in the aum magazine.

I hope this all help you to write the right code $;\)$
