Hi,
is it possible to change the z-rotation of the onFoot/player-camera?

I just tried to get the id of the camera from "g_currentMission.player.cameraId" and get the rotation with "getRotation". But when I print out the values, y and z are always 0 and they can't be changed with "setRotation".

Is there a possible way to change the z-rotation?


Thanks,

Hi,

wondering why you want to do that?

You could append a function to the Player:update(dt) trying to adjust the rotation values.
But it might get tricky ;)

Cheers,
Emil

I want to do that, because a user asked me to write a script for rotating the camera on the z-axis to make diagonal screenshots and video recordings.

How can I append such a function to the Player:update(dt)?

Hi,

in your new script you could try something like:

a)
MyMod.update = Utils.appendedFunction(Player.update, MyMod.udpate);
function MyMod:udpate(dt)
end

or b)
originalUpdateTick = Player.updateTick(dt);
function Player:updateTIck(dt)
originalUpdateTick(self, dt);

-- update z rotation
end

Cheers,
Emil
