Camera position

[Braziliano]

hello , is there A way to pre-set my camera view point .. when im focused on a target/npc whatever .. is it possible to force your screen to look at a certain angle?

If you want to aim at something or at certain coordinates, you can use the aimAt function.
To aim at npc

Code: Select all

npc = player:findNearestNameOrId(npcNameOrId)
player:aimAt(npc)

or to point at certain coordinates

Code: Select all

player:aimAt({X=1, Z=2, Y= 3})

If you actually need to point at a certain angle then there is a camera class you can use. Try

Code: Select all

camera:setRotation(angle)

The angle is in radians, so use -3.14 to 3.14.

To get the angle to use, point your character in the direction then use the following command with the commandline script.

Code: Select all

player:update() print(player.Direction)

or you could just use trial and error.

The camera class doesn't save it's angle so you can't get it's angle. Note: camera:setRotation doesn't allow you to set the y angle.

what about objects instead of npcs? , or would it be better just to aim at a specific coordinates..

Objects should work fine too. The aimTo function just needs a table with X, Z and Y values. So objects, players, mobs and npcs will work.
