Camera rotation request

#21 I also request that this be implemented and become a standard feature of the engine. It's something that I will desperately be needing soon.

#22 A second for implementation of this. A classmate of mine needed to switch to TGE for a 2D game purely in order to be able to achieve this. I would also need the rotaton feature heavily in a few central features of my current game project. Having it as a supported feature would be exceptionally great.

#23 Would there be a way to do this without modifying the source code? I.e. Rotating and displacing all objects in a level around the character with a world matrix? I'm not sure how many collision problems this may potentially occur or how much engine stress it would cause, but it seems like an option for people who do not own the TGB pro license.

Is this at all possible?

#24 This function would be extremely useful in iTGB, allowing the scene to stay horizontal as the user rotates the device.

#25 Guys,

I do admit that this would be a very nice feature to have and not *that* hard to create. Let me have a think about it for the weekend, have a chat to GG and see what I can promise. :)

#26 Any news on this? As Conor mentioned, it would be VERY useful in iTGB!

Thx,
Phil

#27 This is added as a feature implementation to the next release of TGB. :)

Melv.

#28 Ooooo - brilliant news! Thanks for the update Melv!

Looking forward to the next release : )

#29 Hey gang.. did this get added to the current release? I'm not seeing it.. but I'm not the sharpest tack in the kork-board either. Can you tell me where it is?

#30 It will be in the next release as promised above. :)

Melv.

#31 Awesome to hear, really looking forward to it! Thanks!

#32 one question?...
when is the next release scheduled for?, in the game i just finished i really wanted such feature, but had to make it w/o it, but since im starting a new project, i'd love to ahve that in it.

so, any news of a new TGB release?.

#33 Unfortunately there isn't a scheduled release date yet however lots of hard work is going into it and this feature will definately be in there.

Melv.

#34 hey there, Melv.

do you think you could give us a sneak peak of what new cool features will be added to it?... im really looking forward for an enhanced version of TGB.

#35 I honestly wish I could but unfortunately I can't. Trust me, if I could, I would have already! :)

All eyes are on Torque 3D at the moment but Torque 2D will be next!

#36 Hey there Melv,

I just wanted to point out that you promised that the feature would definitely be in the next release of TGB, but it was not added to the new release of TGB (1.7.5)!!

#37 Added as a feature implementation for TGB in 2008 (not implemented). Taken correctly in context you should know I was subsequently referring to the v2.0 e.g. Torque 2D (where it was added).

As you know TGB 1.7.5 was primarily a bug-fix release to satisfy TGB users while the next MAJOR engine version is being developed.

Assuming TGB = Torque2D is incorrect.

#38 I do not see anything for rotate camera in Torque 2D. The demo downlaoad for Torque 2D is still TGB 1.7.5. Can someone please explain.

#39 Torque2D is still in development.

#40 With the launch of the new site we rolled out the new naming scheme and branding to all our current engines. Thus TGB's name became Torque 2D 2009, though I believe the installer is still called TGB.

TGB 1.7.5 = T2D 2009
