Storing camera position
Storing camera position
I'm working on a project where I have 2 camera's, one is a static and the other one is the fps camera.
I managed to be able to switch bewteen the cameras but everytime I go back to the fps camera it returns to it's starting position.
I've been messing around with the get and set position() but I keep losing the camera's new position.
How do you do this? Where should I initialise my camera's? Is there a way to store the camera position and reaply it later?

yeah I could, but right now, the player is just a camera floating around, you're suggesting I attach a node to the fps camera so I could just redirect the camera to the player-node's position?
It is a good workaround, i've been trying to find how the the addCameraSceneNodeFPS is build in the source because in it's construct they don't give it a position, they just add cameraspeed and such.
if you could give it a start position I could make that one variable and everytime the camera gets loaded I could make the start position my previous position
, but I'll try your way first, if it works, I can move on :d

This is a similar topic and I posted some of my code on the setPosition(getPosition) thing. Its not perfect but may help.
(camera switching I mean)

Tnx everyobody, and allot of tnx go to Oz
seemed that the only thing I was missing was setActiveCamera and a little reorganising
I can roam around the level in the fps camera, when I hit a button the camera freezes and I have cursor control in my menus, I hit the button again and the menu's go away and I can continue roaming
SuB is very happy, tnx guys

Great! Im glad it was a help. The reason I did all that was just so I could toggle wireframe rendering, im coding another quadtree
