vectordir

[mindstorm 8]

So i'm trying to get my spectator cam to face downwards so you get a top-down view.

SPECTATOR_CAM setVectorDir [0, 0, -0.99];

That however is not working. However I've been diag_loggin vector dir and it should be the right angle?

Can anyone help me with this?

So I sorta got it now:

setVectorDirAndUp [[0,0,-1],[0,1,0]];

This sort of does what I want. However once I use that and then use the mouse it tilts back to the original form and then my view is locked.

You might be able to try something like:

while {true} do {
   SPECTATOR_CAM setVectorUp [0,0,-1];
   sleep 0.01;
};

This may be somewhat effective, but I don't really have time to test nor have I really implemented anything like this on a tight loop so I'm not sure how smooth it will be.

Try turning manual off, eg.

SPECTATOR_CAM camCommand "MANUAL OFF";

Note that this also means you need to implement your own camera movement.
