Hello All. I am trying to place a character on a sphere and walk around it. I am pretty close, except I have two issues: 1. When I get to the pole, i rotate really fast when moving forward (Gimbal lock?) 2. When I move forward, I am following travel the sphere at the same latitude, as opposed to mov...

Hey all, I have been working on a third person camera that behave like most MMO/RPG style ones out there today: - Mouse wheel zoom. - Rotate camera around character with left mouse button. - Rotate camera up and down with right mouse. Player rotation is handled separately, however camera updates bas...

I am using some code lifted from one of the spline animators, but the Points are driven from network position updates. I seem to be having an issue when a player stays still for a bit, the network driven players seem to bounce around oddly in place. I think i need to remove points from the animator ...

I am trying to create a camera using an animator, as I here that is the "accepted" way now. I have it working fine, except the camera's control logic is buried within the OnEvent. I assume this is fine. My question comes when I need to add more OnEvents for other nodes, like my player, how...

Whaaa?
Why would the world need to move

What if the world was part of a solar system?

I agree with that. The reason why thinking inheritance would help would be in a case such as the position of the world changed, every child item would move with it, etc.

I am thinking up an idea in my head for the design of how I am going to manage my environment. Basically I want to create an easy to use system for adding areas to a world etc and was curious to have some feedback. The idea is to have concepts of a World, continents, zone, etc. I was wondering if I ...

I am working on a little demo, using the Terrain pager code that is out there in the snippets section. I am using a Meta selector to gather all the triangleselectors per "zone" and passing that to the default collision animator. All seems to work well, except that I have a very hard time m...

This is awesome. I have made a few changes to it on my end: - Added collision detection to each "zone". - Added multithreading to load sections in the background. - More efficiently removes old zones from memory. Both of these still need a little bit of work. I will post code when I'm happ...

Does anyone know where i can find a few free low poly based models that were similar to the original eq in style? Or maybe someone interested in sharing any

I'm am just looking for something basic and free to use for testing in my application.

Thanks

I think it may just be easier to go the custom cursor route, even its a duplicated windows cursor. I will have to look into that.

Thanks for the help!!!

Now I just have to figure out the actual camera part

So if i always watch the cursor, this should also help provide an easier way to move the camera based on the current location of the mouse, and not forcing it to the center before i start the rotation code. Is this a correct assumption?

also, I can't seem to figure out the "not resetting cursor location" after moving the camera.

Do you also know why the screen "snaps" when I right click?

In both cases, the cursor doesn't appear or hide until the mouse button is raised(released), even though im telling the opposite to happen on down(pressing).
