Camera Mount Problem

by Johannes Pauw · in Torque Game Builder · 02/07/2006 (10:07 am) · 3 replies

To put it simply -- Camera mounting doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm creating a top-down spaceship game where I want the camera to track the player with a slight delay. The code I'm using is:

SceneWindow2D.mount($player, "0 0", 1, true);

It's in my createPlayer(); function, after the player has been totally defined and created. When I run Torque, the camera just sits there, even if the ship moves.

I really have no idea at all what's going wrong.

Pasting this code:

$player = new t2dStaticSprite() { scenegraph = t2dScene; imageMap = ggLogoImageMap; linearVelocity = "10 0"; };
   sceneWindow2D.mount($player, "0 0", 1, true);

at the end of setupT2DScene in T2D/gameScripts/game.cs seems to work just fine. What version of T2D are you using? I tested this on Beta 1.

Could you post some more of your scripts and the console.log file. That would better help me track down the problem.

The deprecated version, apparently. I'm d/ling the new release right now. Thanks for pointing that out!

With the new version it worked like a charm. Thanks again!
