Output Event - set2DCamera

[Electrk]

2D Camera Event

This add-on adds a set2DCamera client event that makes a camera follow the player like in 2D platformers.

There are two parameters for this event:

Direction

North - Makes the camera face north
South - Makes the camera face south
East - Makes the camera face east
West - Makes the camera face west
None - Makes the player go back to the normal view

Pitch

Basically how high the camera is angled. Lowest is -360, highest is 360. Default is 5.

Distance

Basically how far away the camera stays from the player when not obstructed by an object.
The maximum distance is 25, the closest is 5. Default is 10.


There is also a /resetCamera command for admins.
This can be disabled with RTB Prefs or manually with $Pref::Server::CanReset2DCamera

Changelog

v1.0 to v1.1

• Added an option for pitch
• Changed distance numbers from negative to positive to make it less confusing for users
• Raised maximum camera distance to 25

[Conan]

needs up and down

and more clarification on

The minimum minimum distance is -15, the highest is -5

[Electrk]

needs up and down

good idea

and more clarification on

it's just the distance the camera stays from the player when not obstructed by an object

[Crispy_]

make it on RTB and my life will be complete

[Crispy_]

now all we need is a playertype that cannot go left or right and changes controls so A and D moves backward or forward (bonus points if you have A make the player look left and move instead of walk backwards)

[Conan]

it's just the distance the camera stays from the player when not obstructed by an object

clarification on the units it uses.
and the reason why minimum is -15 and the max -5, though that may be just me wanting to know.

you can do that yourself
take the no-jet playertype and edit the lateral movement to 0, and rename all parts.

needs up and down

wouldn't that just be the top-down player

[Electrk]

clarification on the units it uses.

Torque units I believe, which is 2 studs per unit

and the reason why minimum is -15 and the max -5, though that may be just me wanting to know.

0 is in the player and anything higher than that is past the player and you can't see yourself

10/10
we shall now play together

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Code: [Select]

//no jets at all
datablock PlayerData(PlayerNoJet : PlayerStandardArmor)
{
minJetEnergy = 0;
jetEnergyDrain = 0;
canJet = 0;

uiName = "No-Jet Player";
showEnergyBar = false;
};Is this something I should know? I have never made a playertype before.
