t3d 3.5.1 - how do you set 3d person camera on mission start?

by Rob McNaughton · in Torque 3D Beginner · 10/04/2014 (10:40 am) · 2 replies

Hi
I want a 3rd person camera 100% of the time.
Looking through older posts I have been trying to insert this a few places to no avail.
$firstPerson = false;

I have commented out all the bindings to change camera successfully, but now I'm 100% firstPerson instead of 3rd.

I know it must be something super simple I am missing. Help Appreciated.

    You'll want to call %client.setFirstPerson(false); at some point after the player has been spawned. Look at GameCore::spawnPlayer() to see how a player is spawned.

    In \server\gameCore.cs I had this

    function GameConnection::spawnPlayer(%this, %spawnPoint)
    {
    Game.spawnPlayer(%this, %spawnPoint);
    $firstPerson = false;
    }
    And that didn't do anything.

    Based on your comment I added %client.setFirstPerson(false); to the end of function GameCore::spawnPlayer(%game, %client, %spawnPoint, %noControl)
    and it worked nicely!

    Thank You!
