Follow Mouse

by Christian Weber · in Torque Game Engine · 08/16/2006 (4:45 pm) · 9 replies

Hi everybody,

I currently have my player controlled by wasd and looking with mouse just as normal. But I'm playing with god view and I'd like to have a cursor(shouldn't be a problem) and also having my character aiming at it. I'm really not a programmer, also didn't find anything via seach... any ideas?

Sincerely,
Chris

People are generally too busy with their own projects to spare the time to code someone elses game.

I never said that I want someone to give me code or whatever, I asked for ideas and things like that... -.-

Aims at the mouse? You mean aims at where the mouse points to on the terrain?
If that;s the case, cast a ray from the mouse, find where it hits the terrain, and turn your player to face that,
I'm sure Ron's resource does a lot of this already.

Sounds like a 3rd person crosshair. there's a resource for that too.
