(C++) WoW style custom controls with camera and more

jreuschel1 · Post by **jreuschel1** » Fri Feb 16, 2007 8:04 pm

Here is my WoW style Biped controller and camera code

with this you can make a .md2 file walk, strafe, jump, crouch, and possibly in the future, swim

It has ground (terrain) collision detection and gravity

unfortunately, not very well documented, but not extremely complicated

controls for demo:
WASD for direction, mouse to aim, hold shift to run, space to jump and C
to crouch, mouse Left+right walk forward, hold mouse right to strafe, hold mouse left to move camera

Sorry there is no documentation as this is a work in progress...

Here are some things you can do in your own programs:
Set Animation Frame Sets for your model for each state of motion (Jumping, running, strafing, etc.)
Set Gravity value
Set Jump Force
Set Walk and Run Speeds
Customize control Keys (not mouse)

here are the links to source and demo

Add smooth camera zooming in the MovePlayerControll :]

add:

Code: Select all


const float CamSpeed = 3.15f;
const float CamUpdateSpeed = 0.005f;

float CamZoomOffset = 100.0f;

if(MWHEEL!=0)
{
   CamZoomOffset += CamSpeed * MWHEEL * ElapsedTime;
		
   if(CamZoomOffset < 10.0f )CamZoomOffset = 10.0f;
   if(CamZoomOffset > 200.0f )CamZoomOffset = 200.0f;

   MWHEEL = 0;
}

CamZoom += ( CamZoomOffset - CamZoom ) * CamUpdateSpeed * ElapsedTime;

Maybe not the best way to do it but it works

Hm I played wow for a while and one more thing about the camera, when you rotate around your player the camera rotates back behind the player when you lift the mouse button up, or something like that..

Well use the same thing here, it works but also not the best way to do it

Code: Select all

void ResetCamera( float ElapsedTime )
{
   CamPan += ( CamReset - CamPan ) * 0.005f * ElapsedTime;
}

and above the WSAD1.Tick( .. ) in the end of the code.

Code: Select all

if( MBLEFT==0 )
{
   ResetCamera( ElapsedTime );
}

also add some sort of rotation check under "CamPan=CamPan+(MOUSEX-OLDMPOSX)/3.0f; "

Code: Select all

if( CamPan >= 360.0f ){
   CamPan = 0.0f;
}
if( CamPan < -360.0f ){
   CamPan = 0.0f;
}

Cheers

Just one more thing I need to for camera is to make it adjust agains the terrain like in WoW, any tips

?

Make at the camera position a small box. Then collide this box with the terrain. Finally, position the camera to the box.

any sample on how you do it? sounds simple as you said it, but I think its a little more komplicated, get an smooth terrain collision is hard I think.
