A little question

[Lynkyn]

That's good, but it move my camara too much and only right-left....I would like something like the metalhead one but random left-right-up-down....Is it possible?

[Juutis]

Code: Select all

RotateEntity("Player",0,random(-10,10),0);

Rotates the camera to the left and right. Just decrease the values in 'random(-10,10)' to make it rotate less.

For the up/down issue try this:

Code: Select all

TiltCamera((random(-10,10) + 0.0)/100);

(random() returns an integer and adding 0.0 changes it into a float, which can then be divided)

Again, you can change the values of 'random(-10,10)' to make it tilt just the way you want.

Excellent!!!I love youuu!!!!

[metal_head]

Yeah,I forgot to mention that I edited the script (of course wih Juutis help ) so that the camera tilts only upwards.

[Lynkyn]

Oooh, OK, now i've got a little problem: when the cameratilt is little, it looks good, but when it's big, it's too sudden. I would want to know if there is any script to ''soft'' this effect. Thanks

You want to make the amera tilt sommth,right?...Well,I have no idea how to make it :D:D:D:D after all,I'm a newbie and the game I'm making is my first one.I just made the camera very very little,so it doesn't look so rough

[Juutis]

Try this one:

Code: Select all

{

tilttimer  [0]
tiltamount  [0]
rotateamount  [0]
lastbullets  [0]

Spawn[ ()
{
     LowLevel("run");
} ]

run[ ()
{
     self.ThinkTime = 0.04;

     if(GetAttribute("bullets","Player") < lastbullets)
     {
          tilttimer = self.time + 0.5;

          tiltamount = (random(-10,10) + 0.0)/100;
          rotateamount = random(-10,10);

          lastbullets = GetAttribute("bullets","Player");
     }

     if(tilttimer > self.time)
     {
          RotateEntity("Player",0,rotateamount,0);
          TiltCamera(tiltamount);
     }

     if(GetAttribute("bullets","Player") > lastbullets)
     {
         lastbullets = GetAttribute("bullets","Player");  //update 'lastbullets' if the player receives more bullets
     }
} ]

}

You can play around with the values of tilttimer, rotateamount and tiltamount to get it just like you want. tilttimer controls the time in seconds that the tilting should last. In this example it last 0.5 seconds. tiltamount and rotateamount control how fast the camera will tilt.

You are a genious O_O
Thanks! Hope i will give you a reward for this

[metal_head]

WoW,I can't wait to try this one!!!When I get back home on monday,I'll take a look.If I understand right from the script,there's a time ammount which is used when the camera is being tilt.

[Lynkyn]

Little problem: the min. value I can put in the tilt and rotate is 1. y I put 0.8, 0.2, it doesn't work. Why?

[Graywolf]

I'd bet(I'm at a friends house at the moment, otherwise I'd check the source) that the random command is converting the values to integers(thus, 0). You could try dividing the results. Say... 1.3 for the rotate, 150 or so for the tilt(instead of 100).

[QuestOfDreams]

Manual:

int random(float Low, float High);
Returns a random integer number in the range of Low to High.

[Lynkyn]

In the tilit I can put, for example,

tiltamount = (random(-1,0) + 0.0)/200;


but, in the rotate?

rotateamount = random(-1,1);



Thanks

[Graywolf]

Code: Select all

RotateEntity("Player",0,rotateamount * 0.8,0);

That would work, although it would be better practice to add a variable to the script, like so:

Code: Select all

{

tilttimer  [0]
tiltamount  [0]
rotateamount  [0]
rotatefactor [0.8]
lastbullets  [0]

Then:

Code: Select all

rotateamount = random(-10,10) * rotatefactor;

In fact, if you use variables for all the values, you'll be in prime position to add code to change the camera shake effect for different weapons.

(random() returns an integer and adding 0.0 changes it into a float, which can then be divided)

This can also be done in a more visible fashion, using:

Code: Select all

rotateamount = toFloat(random(-10,10))/100;

This has the added benefit of preserving the original value in integer form... Which has it's uses(although I can't think of one in this context).

edit:THANKS REALLY Now it's cool!!!!!
