Side-Chase Camera Playertype [Paper-Mario-like]

(1/3) > >>

Racerboy: This Third-Person-only playertype would have a camera that viewed the player in only one fixed direction. This playertype can be found in games such as Paper Mario, here is a good example of what I mean: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ranhz7ABadk As you can see, you never view certain aspects of the map, you only see it in one direction. The player can move in any direction without the camera changing its view of the player. Basically, if the player jumps the camera will move up. If the player moves left, right, forward, back, rotates/turns in either direction, the camera will remain in a fixed view, but the camera will still follow the player around wherever it goes. 1. Is this possible? 2. Anyone willing to do it?

Greek2me: I've tried to do this before and it's impossible to prevent the camera/player from rotating.

Keep in mind this would be used for huge RPGs with many areas and maps. --- Quote from: Greek2me on February 28, 2013, 09:34:09 PM ---I've tried to do this before and it's impossible to prevent the camera/player from rotating. --- End quote --- Ah, I see. Oh well...if there's any other approaches to this that are simple, please post!
