camera shaking

by abc · in Torque Game Engine · 05/04/2003 (8:45 am) · 5 replies

I think I found a bug.
I was modifing the example "game" with Torque and I saw the camera shake function so I modified it so I really saw that it worked and then I saw that it doesn't work in 3rd person view, only with first person view. Shouldn't the camera shake in 3rd person view too?

Sounds like a design question - it depends on the game!

But for the demo, I'd think that yes, the camera ought to shake.

I belive that the "shake" should only be in 1st person, it is a design question, and I'm sure it can easily be fixed.

hmmm... ok, I thought it was a engine problem maybe it's not then.

It works that way in Tribes 2 as well.

To add cameraFX to the third person all you have to do
is go into player.cc, find the following code:

if( connection->isFirstPerson() )
{
ShapeBase *obj = connection->getControlObject();
if( obj == this )
{
MatrixF curTrans = getRenderTransform();
curTrans.mul( gCamFXMgr.getTrans() );
Parent::setRenderTransform( curTrans );
}
}

and then comment out the if check (so that it always
executed whether its first person or not)
