no more jumping FPS camera

Post by paul »

hey sorry if this has already been mentioned ,i done a search found nothing on it (well no fix for it anyway)

add this in "CCameraFPSSceneNode.cpp" just before the vector is normalized

movedir.Y = 0;

camera still rotates ,moves forward and stuff seams ok

I thought it would be like this and it is.
This ONLY works if your camera is connected to a CollisionResponseAnimator (so you use physics). Else you can't move your camera up/down anymore because it is stuck at 0!

It worked ok. The only thing is that you loose the ability to climb stuff like ladders. The camera stays restricted to the height specified in the y axis.

but I like it.

thnx for the code, it's freakin' hillarious! I'll compile it tonight and let you know how things went with my neural interface!!! :wink:

cheers!

@peter
I pasted in your code and now my app wont compile :cry:

The code in that signature wont work, he missed the closing bracket.
But now I think about it, he did it on purpose cuz it would be too easy then, huh?

Quasi code owns.
:lol:

Now back on topci plz :). I would like to have an FPS-cam which doesn't jump, using another way than setting Y to 0. What if your map is like -100?

bal yeah you are right this is only if u are going to add the collision manager to your camera for walking on the ground

but i suppose you could add another param to the create camera function so u can enable/disable the jumping and have the default set to disable ,that way u can still have the fly cam and walking cam

works for me :)
