Hi all,
I installed my old A8 Pro again after a very long time and just wanted to create a simple scene with a real mirror in it.
This snippet from the manual does not even compile for me.
// Code to emulate a horizontal mirror by generating a vertically flipped camera view
view mirror { }
function init_mirror_z()
{
camera.portal = mirror;
mirror.noshadow = on; // suppress shadows in the mirror
mirror.portalclip = on;
while (1)
{
proc_late(); // place it at the end of the function list - the camera must be moved before
mirror.genius = camera.genius;
mirror.aspect = -camera.aspect; // flip the image upside down
mirror.arc = camera.arc;
mirror.fog = camera.fog;
mirror.x = camera.x;
mirror.y = camera.y;
mirror.z = 2*camera.portal_z-camera.z; //move the camera downwards by twice the portal distance
mirror.pan = camera.pan;
mirror.tilt = -camera.tilt; // flip the vertical camera angle
mirror.roll = -camera.roll;
wait(1);
}
}
The error message is:
A8 Egine - Pro Edition V8.47.1 - Mar 9 2016
Error in line 18:
'view' undeclared identifier
<view mirror {}>
Error E355: Startup Failure - any key to abort
Any ideas or a working sample?
I use the simple template with these header files:
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// Template main script:
// Created by WED.
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
// entry: Start Level
// entry_help: Name of the level loaded at start
char* t_levelname = "sample.wmb";
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
#include <acknex.h>
#include <default.c>
#include <atypes.h>
#include "t_player.h"
Kind regards
Michael
But I still don't know how to do it in A8 PRO.
