Rotated Camera and Setting Camera Bounds

[Svenski]

So I painfully realized that setting camera bounds when the camera is rotated any direction other than north is a bad idea.

Is there an easy way to get a specified player's camera rotation? That way you could quickly set the players camera rotation to north, set the camera bounds, and then rotate the camera back to the users rotation.

I know of the function:

• Set CameraRotation = (Rotation of the current camera view)

which is the same as...

set udg_CameraRotation = GetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_ROTATION)

...from which player does that function get the camera field? If each player has a different rotation, whose rotation is returned by that function?


Thanks for any help!

Use

• Custom script: if GetLocalPlayer() == (The player you want) then
• Custom script: call SetCameraField(ConvertCameraField(5), (your wanted rotation value), (your wanted duration value))
• Custom script: endif

Ah, yes, thank you good sir!

[EDIT] Actually, I think what you meant to put in the second line of custom script was:

set udg_CameraRotation = GetCameraField(CAMERA_FIELD_ROTATION)

I haven't tested this yet though, not sure if that's right. But my point was to collect the camera field not to set it.
