Fixed Camera

by BJNelson · in Torque Game Engine · 12/01/2004 (9:42 pm) · 1 replies

Hello guys,
I want to fix the camera to a non-scrollable side view, with the player controlled by the left and right keys.

I was thinking of taking the camera-drop-at-player script, manually moving the camera to a certain spot, and attaching the controls to the player as opposed to the camera.

Does that sound like a good course to take?

thanks,
nanda

How I would do it (I'm biased)

Install advanced camera resource
Make it go into god view mode
Set the god view offset to be 90 degrees angle and not very far off the player
Layout your level so its at 90 degrees to the god view camera
Remap your left/right to move the player forward/backward
