Permanent Camera

[ndh]

Hey, i was wondering if it was possible to keep the players camera "distance to target" at a certain distance without the "every x seconds" trigger.

I'm not entirely sure if that's possible. If you do every .01 seconds, then there should be no problem (players will not at all be able to zoom in). Why not just make a trigger that allows players to choose how far away their camera is? I don't think locking the camera to a target would work in your situation, either.

Player can use their mouse-scroll and resets the camera distance, thus could ruin your camera system.

If you do it every .01 seconds, though, mouse scrolling shouldn't work.

I hope you get that.

But still, you can't do this unless you force them per second interval trigger, because mouse-scrolling will damage your camera system somehow by resetting the distance to target properties.

Hmm would it be possible to make a dialogue button or something that when clicked he player's camera is locked to a certain height?

You can make a system that detects Player's chat message and change the variable, something like this;

• Untitled Trigger 002
  • Events
    • Player - Player 1 (Red) types a chat message containing -distance as A substring
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • Set CamDistance[(Player number of (Triggering player))] = (Real((Substring((Entered chat string), 10, 12))))
    • Camera - Set (Triggering player)'s camera Distance to target to CamDistance[(Player number of (Triggering player))] over 3.00 seconds

You can let the Player change variables (Camera Properties) in-game, while playing.

You could use the Misc.txt file. It has a part that determines default camera, and what happens when you scroll, too.

Sounds interesting, how would i go about changing it?
