An amibitious camera question?

by Andrew Edmonds · in Torque Game Engine · 04/18/2007 (8:46 am) · 1 replies

Hi all,

I don't know if anyone has done anything like this, or even if it is do-able. However, I thought I'd ask anyway :o)

I want to place a camera in my level that automatically tracks another player - that bit I'm thinking should be fairly straight forward... However, I then want to render the output of that camera in real time to a screen (just an object surface) on the same level...

Any thoughts on how this could be accomplished?

Thanks as always...

    Well, there is a resource for multiple viewports, but I don't know if it has been updated to 1.5. Adding that and hooking it into the in-game theora rendering resource might be a good start. Or at least the in-game theora resource would give you the rendering hooks.
