[Fixed]Player Camera Offset

by CSMP · in Torque Game Engine · 09/27/2009 (3:25 pm) · 2 replies

I have tried setting the cameraOffset script value similiar to the vehicles camOffset in hopes of recieving the results I want.(over the head 3rd person weapon aiming)

Well obviously the player camOffset script code didnt work, all I want is the players 3rd person cam to be lifted slighted over the head and aim relatively lower on the screen, so I dont have to aim with the players head to hit something I cant see.

I know there are probably some resources with differant camera methods, but all I want is a vehicle-like 3rd-person camOffset method.

OK, I actually just found this resource after changing my search parameters, and it has the function I need.

As I said before, I don't need any extra functionality except for the camOffset and the resource looks straightforward to incorporate what I need.

This Resource fixed my problems, I ended up adding the other features as well to prevent any problems that may be created in the process of trying to extract the camOffset feature itself.
