First person camera question

by Cody Mc · in Torque Game Engine · 10/02/2004 (2:02 pm) · 6 replies

What denotes the location of the player camera in first person mode? I'm curious as I've been messing around with eyeoffset to try and get a better fit for the first person view. I find (for what I'm doing) that the camera is too far forward. How would you pull it back in first person?

You tried modifiying the field of view?

I'm probably wrong but I think I remember it being the eyes joint!

@Westy - yes, and that didn't really achieve much.

@FruitBatInShades I'm thinking, and trying to verify, that this is contained in the actual model when it's made. EG - a camera node?

If it's not attached to the model, then I'm curious as to how the positioning is achieved.

Never mind... I was going through the documentation - there is a 'cam' node.

I'm pretty sure the 'cam' node is for the third person camera location. You want to change (or add) the 'eye' node. Check out this resource: www.garagegames.com/index.php?sec=mg&mod=resource&page=view&qid=4273
