FPS Player Camera Position

#1 Hmm....maybe, on the function that spawns the player (i think it is GameConnection::onAdd() ), put in

$firstPerson = !$firstPerson;

somewhere in that function. What it does is find out if the player starts in first person view, which is by default, and then sets it to the opposite setting. Hope things work out!

#2 Thanks Bryce. I'll give it a try. Ryan

#3 No problem. take into mind i havent tested it yet, though.

#4 Hmm, I didn't know where exactly to add it myself when I did it. But i put it in

starter.fps/server/scripts/game.cs in the function startGame()

just added the line "$firstPerson = false;"

Its worked for me so far, but I cannot guarantee that this is the best place.

#5 You need to add it on the client side

#6 Hmm, what is the reasoning for this Thomas?

It seemed logical to me as it seemed like a client side operation. But the spawning of the player and starting of the game was done on server side, so I just put it in there, and its worked fine. Where would I set it on client side?

#7 I doubt its there, but maybe theres a game.cs in the client folder. Maybe theres a StartGame() function there.

#8 @Vernon - this might not be relevant anymore (long time I've messed around with it), but I couldnt get the $firstperson = 1; to work when doing it server side. I then moved that line onto the client side and added a clientCommand into the server\scripts\game.cs to trigger that code when clients enter the game. That worked. So I've stuck to that ever since.

#9 I hope you get some good help from other people. Im going to mexico for a week this monday.
