Is there a way to disable the X and Y on the mouse

by Kory Imaginism · in Torque 3D Professional · 09/24/2013 (11:39 am) · 5 replies

I was wondering if there is a way to disable the mouse from controlling the X and Y movement of the camera, or lock it to the players head movement?

Thanks

You should be able to accomplish this by messing around with Player::updateMove(). Just remember if you add any flag variables that they also need to be added to pack/unpack.

Would that be found in script or source?

In scripts\client\default.binds.cs around line 250 there is:
moveMap.bind( mouse, xaxis, yaw );
moveMap.bind( mouse, yaxis, pitch );
If you comment out these lines the mouse will not pitch or yaw the player or camera.

This means you wont be using the mouse for any movement at all though.

Thanks, I'll have to check it out once I get home. Is there a way to still keep movement but limit it?

why not just go in functions yaw and pitch, do something like this:

if ($disabledCamera) return;

wouldn't even need an engine change :P
