Logic-cam1.0

Recommended Posts

Requirements:

- Basic knowledge camera scripting

- Original copy of PC CDROM game Operation Flashpoint or Flashpoint Resistance.

What this script is

This script allows you to attach a camera to a vehicle. It can be used to attach a camera to any object or any position relative to that object in the game.

E.g. you can show the driver position, cargo position, roof cam, wheelcam…

In a “normal†camera script there are two essential commands:

Camsetpos : Sets the x,y,z position of the camera in the world

Camsettarget : Points the camera at the object

In logic-cam these two positions are replaced by the positions of two gamelogics (automatically created in the script) then logic-cam sets the x,y,z positions of both gamelogics relative to the vehicle via a constant loop and a setpos command.

I suggest you try the  Demo mission (6min), it contains about 50 different examples how to use logic-cam. It shows you a roofcam, bumpercam, wheelcam, drivercam, cargocam, gunnercam and many many others… You don’t need addons, simply load the mission in the editor, and then click on 'preview' to see it in action.

Let me know what you think.

PS : Check the readme!

_tgtz = getPos _tgt select 2

_tgtxdir = _tgtx + (_gl1prop select 1)* (sin _tgtdir)

_tgtydir = _tgty + (_gl1prop select 1)* (cos _tgtdir)

_tgtdir2 = getDir _tgt2 + (_gl2prop select 0)

_tgtx2 = getPos _tgt2 select 0

_tgty2 = getPos _tgt2 select 1

_tgtz2 = getPos _tgt2 select 2

_tgtxdir2 = _tgtx2 + (_gl2prop select 1)* (sin _tgtdir2)

_tgtydir2 = _tgty2 + (_gl2prop select 1)* (cos _tgtdir2)

_gl1 setDir _tgtdir

_gl2 setDir _tgtdir2

_gl1 setPos [_tgtxdir,_tgtydir,_tgtz + (_gl1prop select 2)]

_gl2 setPos [_tgtxdir2,_tgtydir2,_tgtz2 + (_gl2prop select 2)]

_camid camsetpos getpos _gl1

_camid camsettarget _gl2

_camid camsetfov _Setvof

_camid camcommit 0

goto "loop"

#endcam

@!(startglcam)

deletevehicle _gl1;deletevehicle _gl2

exit

And HERE is the online readme, for the params etc...

But again, I suggest you try the demomission...[

Played around with it.It takes some time to fiddle out the settings but than it´s nice. I will try to embedd into a mission and see if speeds up the scripting. The fiddlingwith distances and such is not too easy though. It takes some time till you find the "perfect" spots but the demo is pretty usefull.

Good work !
