BaseQC CCam rotation?

[Blackstar1000]

This is a wonderful piece of code once again. I messed with it all night and morning.

Currently I'm trying to set the "self.angles" in the camera script to be the same as the player when the code is enabled.

In other words. I spawn, then move around. Type in the impulse and the player will snap to another angle.

I simply want the impulse to find the players current angle, and "snap" to his current angle. Thus not moving.

so you want a normal chase cam? i suggest you just delete what ever you have, and look through enders scratch tutorial the normal chasecam that this one is built off of is in that tutorial.

or just delete it and stuffcmd chase_active 1.

Actually I wanted to thank you again. I realized what I was trying to ask for was very hard to describe. So I toughed it out and modified the code above for a couple days. The result was exactly what I was looking for.


I'm working on a third person game, I have pretty exactly recreated the camera that is used in the game MASS EFFECT. It's kick ass, thanks again guys.

Nice work. I did a Mass Effect style camera once when I was dabbling. A lot of freedom comes when you use the player/client as a camera rather than a player, and use a basically "dumb" monster as the player character/avatar instead. Bind some impulse keys to make the avatar move, have the "camera" update its position based on the avatar's position and its angle based on mouse movement in pre-think, and bam, you have a Mass Effect view! You can even have the avatar's AI control it when the "cam" is not focused on it, like when switching among multiple characters, etc., but that's a whole different can of worms.

Sorry I don't have the code anymore nor did I notice this thread until now otherwise I would have tried to be of some help...
