Mouse yaxis and xaxis sensitivity

by Rik Girbes · in Torque Game Engine · 11/01/2007 (8:49 am) · 3 replies

The camera in first person is controlled by the mouse.
how can i make the camera rotate slower?

like when you move your mouse to watch to the left, how can i make the camera move slower?

like how can you give the mouse a amount of control of the yaxis and xaxis?

like in alot of games where in the options dialog, you can give the mouse a amount of sensitivity of the yaxis and the xaxis.


sorry for the bad explaination, i hope you understand it.



thank you so much, Rik Girbes.

Hi,

Here's a quick and painless way to get that effect.

1) Locate and open up the file default.bind.cs from the starter.fps/client/scripts folder
2) Next, find the getMouseAdjustAmount function. It should look like this . . .

function getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)
{
   // based on a default camera fov of 90'
   return(%val * ($cameraFov / 90) * 0.01);  // AE - a value of 900 here would make the mouse feel less responsive (9000 would be very slow)
}
3) Change the divide by 90 value to a much larger number
4) Delete all the .DSO file for that script
5) Restart Torque
6) Run around and test the new settings
7) Repeat steps 3 - 6 until everything feels right to you.

Good luck and have fun.

Thank You very much, realy thanks.

I have an idea, i just make a GUI control, and asign it to a string, than instead of "90" i write down the String.
that way people can do it themselfs.



Thanks Again, Rik Girbes

Glad to help out.

Yes, you can do all kinds of nifty things with that. You can even build a slider GUI and tie this value/variable to it.

I think there is a resource out there somewhere that includes something like that with several other visual settings/tweaks on a modified Options dialog box. Pretty cool stuff.
