[Trigger] Can a camera be fixed to a unit's head?

[dontsnoozeondalose]

I was trying to create a first person camera that is locked to the characters head.

And I was trying to make it so if the character died. The camera attached to the body or where the head is facing would also fall with the character.

• Camera - Set Player 1 (Red)'s camera Angle of attack to (Facing of Warrior 0000 <gen>) over 0.50 seconds

I tried using this but the camera just ends up looking up.

Is it impossible to do this?

It's impossible to lock it to a model's head, but it is possible to change the camera using other values.

If you want it to fall down, set the height value to near zero.
To look down, set angle of attack to 270.
Looking to the side, you'll want to set roll to +/-90.

So it can only be done manually? Alright. Thanks

In real FPS games they do not render the actor's head when in first person mode to prevent clipping. Since you cannot see your own head this works perfectly. Obviously mirrors need a work around however that is probably injected in that part of the graphics pipeline.

Best seen in the game Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion where if you go into first person mode and then use the console commands to unlock the camera you can see that you are nothing more than some floating arms.

If your map is single player then shrink the model to almost 0 and simulate the death camera being head line and everything with triggers. If it is multiplayer you might need locally visible dummies to do something similar.

You can create a death scenario for when the player dies. It could keep the same angle but sway or shake and then tip back and go red to black, like CoD. It should be MUI so it would work with every player and could run multiple instances.
