Change Camera View Problems - 04/02/06 15:24

Hi, i'm going to make one of the Tutorials from WED, the first one. After i have created my Entity i gave him player_walk. Than i wanted to have a look at him, but i don't see him ( By pressing F7 to change camera view, the view has changed a little bit, but i've never seen my guy.
After that, i read some tutorials and decided to load some scripts called "camera3rd01.wdl","cameraTarget.wdl","cameraSelect.wdl","gid01.wdl","cameraFree01.wdl","display00.wdl".
So i tried again....... but the result wasn't better... now really nothing happens when i want to change my camera. I tried some changes in the customize options of the scripts, but this also changes nothing.

Could you explain me what to do, to see my guy, please

Can you show us the specific(certain) lines of your script. Maybe some lines that have do some with camera when you really don't know where are the certain lines. Search after keywords: camera.x or camera.y or camera.z in your script.

hi

i know it's a little impolite, but maybe we can change the language into german so i can explain our problems a little bit better.

Anouvee und ich beschäftigen uns seit ein paar Tagen mit dem ersten WED Tutorial. ("Getting started with 3D Gamestudio") Als wir das erste mal versucht haben mit F7 in die 3rd person cam zu wechseln, änderte sich die Sicht nur gering. Es scheint so, als würde er die Kamera nur um 90° drehen. (Vorwärts laufen mit den Pfeiltasten wurde zu seitwärts laufen.)
Laut dem Tutorial muss bislang nichts in irgendwelchen Scripten eingetragen/editiert werden. Daher haben wir nur das generierte Script ohne irgendwelche Änderungen.
Wie oben beschrieben, machte das hinzufügen der anderen Scripte die Sache nur noch schlimmer, da wir die Ansicht nun gar nicht mehr wechseln können.
Bei einem zweiten Versuch (wieder genau nach Tutorial) konnte ich immerhin die Hälfte des Models sehen. (Die Kamera scheint nun an seinem Allerwertesten zu hängen.) Die im Tutorial dargestellte Ansicht fehlt uns aber weiterhin. Das ganze funktioniert auch nur so lange, bis ich die oben genannten Scripte einfüge. Dann lässt sich die Kamera wieder gar nicht umschalten.

Ich finde es sehr verwirrend, dass die gleichen Arbeitsschritte unterschiedliche Ergebnise liefern. Machen wir etwas grundlegend falsch?

player_walk is from the A5 template scripts, while the other script files you mentioned are from the A6 templates. You can't use scripts from the A6 templates in the A5 temp.; and actually, the "Add Script" in WED only works if you're using the A6 temp. (never tried A6 temp. myself).

And then back to your problem; sorry, but I don't know what's wrong :/
When I used the A5 temp, I always used player_walk_fight instead of player_walk, and that worked fine... So try using player_walk_fight instead, though I doubt it will do a difference to the camera.

aaahhhh we didnt know that the scripts belong to A6.
I'm going to try player_walk_fight and see what happens. Thx a lot.

problem solved.

we didnt know that the camera is "fixed" at a location in 3rd person cam. if you increase the height of your model too much, you'll get that nice little prob.
