Permanent Third Person Camera

[legacy-Lukeyboy]

What I'm trying to do is make the player behindview 1 regardless whether it is behindview 0 or not.

I've been playing around with the source, but I've got no idea how to go about it. Has anyone tried doing this?

Thanks :)

This is probably a dumb try, but maybe something like
function Timer()
{
if (behindview = 0)
behindview = 1;
}
or like Pawn.View, look around in the pawn settings or something similar to it

You would also need to force network servers to allow behindview, else it wont work in network games;
I think you can do it in prebegin or postbegin play in a mutator, something like

level.game.bAllowBehindView = True;

Im not sure if thats it, but its something like that.

Someone created a third-person mutator. It adds the cross hairs and everything so it's like playing a third person action game. Not sure what the mutators called though.

go into the xPlayer controller and derive a new class, the override the playercalcview function to read something like



event Playerclacview(/*params here*/)
{
bbehindview = true;
calcbehindview(Cameralocation, camerarotation, 50); //50 is the follow distance to the player

}


then in your game type add this to the defalut properties



playercontrollerclassname="yourpackagename.yourcontrollerclass"

name"
