Camera Shake

In V1.3 when I got shot, the camera would shake. Same code in V1.4 I get no shake.

That's cool. Maybe you want to post some of your code to see why it doesn't work in 1.4?

If it isn't custom, guess what, the camera doesn't shake when you get hit. (Unless by an explosion of some sort and you use camShake)

Not sure what you want, this is the explosion defined in BotRifle datablock. Works fine in 1.3

datablock ExplosionData(BotRifleExplosion)
{
particleEmitter = BotRifleExplosionEmitter;
particleDensity = 40;
particleRadius = 0.15;

faceViewer = true;
explosionScale = "1 1 1";

shakeCamera = true;
camShakeFreq = "10.0 11.0 10.0";
camShakeAmp = "1.0 1.0 1.0";
camShakeDuration = 1.5;
camShakeRadius = 10.0;
};

Ah, you do use the explosion's camShake. Search the source code in explosion.cc for the camShake stuff and see if the code is different between TGE 1.3 and 1.4.

There are minor differences, GameConnection* is called twice. other than that not much difference.

// shake camera V1.4
if( mDataBlock->shakeCamera && isClientObject() )

isClientObject() is not in the code for 1.3
