How to make the camera moves between two vectors, first to start slowly and accelerate, and at the end to slow down? What function I should use?

Thanks

Math

You are now smart or what? What math can help me if I do not know what engine function to use? Did you read my question?

I am not a coder, and I am not smart like you, I just asked for help here in STARTING WITH GAMESTUDIO, and if you do not want to help, simply leave my post alone.

Not just now! I was also smart 5 minutes ago. At least, I like to pretend I'm smart, truth be told, if I remember how to add up two numbers correctly without using a calculator, it's been a successful day for me.

I hate "please google shit for me" requests though, because that is what you are asking. You are asking us to google for you how to interpolate between numbers, but you didn't even give any information about what kind of acceleration curve you want or anything. So I rolled a dice for you and picked one for you. Behold, math:



It's pesudo code (actually it's C++ and taken out of Rayne, but it might as well be pseudocode for Lite-C). _startValue, result and _difference are VECTOR. _difference is the difference between start and end, time is the delta into the animation and _duration is the duration of the animation.

This has nothing to do with "please google shit for me" requests. I'll try to explain better.
We have two entities that are located in the level - entity START and entity END. I need some advice about how to make the camera moves between these entities something like

OK, this can work if camera.z and entityEND.z have the same height cordinates. If entityEND is above entitySTART (from where camera start) then I do not know how make this. I tried with vec_diff, but I do not know how move together camera.y and camera.z to hit entityEND. With path this is easy but i need solution without path.

I literally gave you code for that. Seriously, it's math. There is no magic Engine function. And it IS a "google for me, plox" request.

LMFAO!!!!!



I agree with JustSid. If your looking for a request you're in the wrong section of this forum.

AND the im not a 'coder' doesnt fly. If you're looking to make a game, then you should work on your programming skills. Moving the camera from one point to the other is VERY simple.



You're on the right track, but if you are looking for height differences, you'll need to use all 3 of the cameras vector points (x,y, AND Z) and some more math.

Try vec_lerp with Sid's or some other formula for a smooth interpolation argument.

Thank God! Finally simple, short and useful answer.
This is a magic engine function what I looking for, thank you Superku a million times.

Cool. Ping us when you find out that it requires math for the acceleration you were looking for.
