Vehicle Cameras

When I mount a vehicle the camera appears to stay with the player, how would I change this to use the vehicle's? I have the model set up correctly in Milkshape, I just used the default car and changed the model.

Ok, I changed it... Lame spam is always filling my hotmail account.

Make sure you have eye and cam under always export in your .cfg file in the directory you are exporting to.

When you are a player, it uses the player camera, even when you mount a vehicle. I am not sure that you can use the vehicle camera code when you are mounted on a vehicle as a player. This is the way it works by default, and is not a bug as far as I know.
There is probably a way to do this, but switching the control to the vehicle is something that would probably have to be done in code or script.

I don't think this is a model issue. I am pretty sure it is a code issue. The vehicles use a laggy camera. When you drop in with the player as a vehicle, it uses the vehicle camera code, which has some parameters for camera smoothing. When you are a player, it uses the player camera, even when you mount a vehicle. I am not sure that you can use the vehicle camera code when you are mounted on a vehicle as a player. This is the way it works by default, and is not a bug as far as I know.

%obj.client.setcontrolobject(%col) and mounts you on it and it works with the default vehicle.

i made it so when you collide with a vehicle it does %obj.client.setcontrolobject(%col) and mounts you on it and it works with the default vehicle.
