First person perspective changes?

by Coldstone · in Torque Game Engine · 02/20/2006 (6:36 am) · 3 replies

I have noticed that my default player seems to be a bit short, in the starter.fps realm. I am not sure that if this is due to the character being an Orc and not very tall, or if there is an adjustment for the viewing height of the character in the 1st person perspective, or wjether I just have to model a taller character. any info would help. Thanks.

I belive the Orc is 3.5 units tall, out of the box the camer'a perspective does not change from 1st to 3rd person. If you need a taller person I would model it bigger, or model the buildings smaller. Good Luck

...i actually think the orc (kork) is nearer 2.5 units ..or roughly 8 foot

...there are nodes called eye and cam which set the height of the camera ingame .. one is for third person.. one for first person

correct me if im wrong anthony?

Thank you for the advice, it seems as though my textures were a little to large, thus giving me a false sence of height. Resized and all is well :) And it would appear according to Cartography Shop the Orc is roughly 2.5 units tall
