Third Person Mode

by arteria3d · in Torque Game Engine · 11/18/2004 (5:00 am) · 3 replies

Hi,

I wish to have my game in 3rd person mode. I have set in player.cs so that first person renders false, and also set the cameradistance to the avatar at 40 - but the game does not run in 3rd person mode - i can still see the gun in the bottom right corner as in FPS mode.

Anyone help please?

    Renderfirstperson is made to render/not render any parts of your body in firstperson like hands and arms.
    I don't understand what you mean you cant run in 3rd person ,do you use the TAB key to switch between 1st and 3rd person ?

    He means that the guy doesn't start in third person as initial view.

    Ok if this is the case .
    add in game.cs under GameConnection::onClientEntergame after %this.score;
    $firstperson = 0;
