No Third person view in MS3?

by Jack Stone · in Torque Game Engine Advanced · 04/13/2006 (8:47 pm) · 3 replies

I recently ported my project to TSE MS3 from MS2 and all went well except for the fact that I can no longer switch my view to third person via the tab key. I ran the unmodified demo and created a new mission and I still couldn't switch to 3rd person, so i'm pretty sure its not anything I did.
The togglethirdperson function is still in default.bind.cs, so im wondering if it should be spelled differently or something? It seems like an easy fix, but 3rd person view is a pretty important thing to have.
Thanks for any advice,
JS

Its probably from the 1.4 merge. The way the toggle works was changed slightly in 1.4.

That was exactly it, thanks Scott. I found this thread:
www.garagegames.com/mg/forums/result.thread.php?qt=38890

and changed the function to this in default.bind.cs:

$firstPerson = true;
function toggleFirstPerson(%val)
{ 
    if (%val)   
    {      
     $firstPerson = !$firstPerson;   
      ServerConnection.setFirstPerson($firstPerson); 
    }
}

I guess I should have STFW'd more :P

Hey no problem, we all do it sometimes.
