[tankpack] turret camera

by Pat AfterMoon · in Torque Game Engine · 01/19/2005 (3:23 pm) · 49 replies

This thread related to the BraveTree TankPack is intended to continue the discussion started here, but in private forum like Joe Maruschak from BraveTree has suggested.

So, I have commented BraveTree camera code and script, and reintroduced the eye/cam classic view like Michael Cozzolino has described. It works, but I have a little bug, similar to one already existing in Paul Dana Turret resource :
Quote:in first person view the turret's barrel disappears for certain pitch angles. I am not sure what causes this. The turret still functions...you just can't see the barrel at those angles in first person view.
Look at the 3dsmax screenshot :
www.aftermoon.net/pub/20050119_abrams_eye.gifMy eye node's parent is the codeWeapon node, so in 1st person view, It look where barrel aim. If I use the eye2 position the bug never occur. If I use the eye1 position the bug occur. I have modified tank datablock for allow horizontal 360 degree turn range and vertical 90 degree, for testing. The bug seem to occur when I look to the left or right (90 degree) or when I move the barrel up, first it work well, when I reach 45 degree the barrel and complete tank disappear, then if I move up a little bit it reappear.

I have enlarged the bound object with 3dsmax in case of, but no changement, any idea ?

@Jerry

I've found a problem in your code... or.. I think..

Everything work perfectly with horizontal rotation speed but not for vertical... have you found some problem with it?

Ok, my code post could be misleading because I intended the original code to be changed at the beginning of TankShape::getCameraTransform(), not replace the entire function. I went back and eliminated some of the redundant code and updated my post above with the entire function.

It's possible to draw a line, a circle, and arc, and so on.... in 3d?

I mean... I would like to draw a line of fire from my tank.. like a laser beam... where could I find some info about it?

Has anyone got it to work to have those tanks drive by AI?
