Camera + rpg/adventure game

by Tom · in Game Design and Creative Issues · 04/10/2006 (5:07 pm) · 3 replies

Hi,

i was wondering if anyone knew of a resource or knows how to help me.

i want to create an rgp/adventure game (think mario 64 or zelda) and i want a camera that the user can swril around the character without affecting the characters aim or direction. also so that if a button is pressed, it resets back behind the player.

Search for the Advanced Camera resource. This is what you need. If you have any trouble... email me and I'll help you out. My email is in my profile.

I posted this in another thread so I'll just copy it over :P

A lot of the advanced camera code is in torque 1.4 yes. To get it to work all I did was add the new files to the folder and project and compile. There are a few fixes to iron everything out. I added the fix by Manoel Neto on the 7th of March 05 and added the fix from the 17st of May 05 by the Man of Ice himself from this thread:

After adding both of those the camera works fine. Or at least I have yet to stumble upon a problem.
