[Trigger] First Person Camera

[GodsHand]

I was getting started on a map and I was wondering how to make 1st person.

note: Will the camera height screw up in first person?

thanks 4 your time

Well, there is no real way to know, you just have to guess (move camera + test), anyways I think the same discussion is going on there: http://hiveworkshop.com/forums/showthread.php?t=35158

i also asked the same thing and while i was testing mine i found that as you move to different terrain heights the camera will still be locked on the unit but will not lock to height so i used a series of regions where when a unit enters that region the height wouldchange to the correct height

Well im not trying to do exactly what he wants. All i need is the camera to be in front of the unit but still has the unit facing angle.

As long as it's locked it should follow directly behind the unit.

 

[GodsHand]

Thats the thing. I need the camera to be in front of the unit. I dont know if this is possible so I may need to change my approach on this.

if you know how to get a 3rd person camera...just set the height and angle of attack to the proper position and then offset by X in direction unit is facing.

just tinker around with X until you have it right.

 

[GodsHand]

Okay, it makes sense but how do you offset the height and angle of attack by X?

Have you looked at EndBringer's 3d camera?

You could twik it to fit your needs. Move the camera in, fix the rotations, heigths. It's a good camera.
