Camera experiment?

by Jeff C. · in Torque Game Engine · 04/13/2004 (10:16 pm) · 1 replies

I was interested in experimenting with the views in the FPS demo... how would I set the view to perm. 3rd person.. also how would I anchor the camera to the center of the screen/viewable area?

Thanks for the help.

Out of the box, you have two choices when using the player - first person or a third person view that places the "camera" directly behind the player's head.

If you want to experiment with different third-person gameplay mechanics, there are a number of resources that have been written on the subject. I'm somewhat biased to the series of resources I've written ;)

  • Using a Separate Camera Object
  • Player Movement with a Separate Camera Object
    • [li]Controlling a Separate Camera
