How to mount the camera to the player ?

by Steve Bisson · in Torque Game Builder · 04/26/2006 (7:15 pm) · 4 replies

I am making a test minigame to get some scripting experience... what i am trying to do is sort of like a top view f-zero game... i have the perfect control now, nice momentum , collision detection on the race track etc..

the only thing i cant do is mount the camera on the craft so when its racing around on the track the camera follows to explore the rest of the tilemap/racetrack.

how can i mount the camera on the craft ?

I did this last night:
sceneWindow2D.mount(player);
And it works like a charm :)

Look up the platformer tutorial on the TDN... it has a pretty good camera system that you can mount to any object and do other fancy stuff. :)

SceneWindow2D.mount(player);

just for the record and save other people some time.
worked like a charm for me too ! once i added it to the player's function and not in "function setupT2DScene()"

thanks a whole bunch
