3rd person perspective

by Neil Marshall · in Torque Game Engine · 07/10/2002 (5:17 pm) · 2 replies

I've placed the 3rd person perspective point where I would like it in my player model, but when I load the character in, the camera is a couple meters behind that point.

Is there somewhere I can change the distance the camera is away from that point? I can't seem to find it.

Neil,

in the PlayerData datablock you can set the cameraOffset and other values. They all begin with camera... So you should be able to set the camera like you want.

Question: How do you set multiple camera angles that follow the player around the stage? In other words, I want one camera angle for one room, and a new one for the next. Anybody know how to do this?
