UDK action game - 3rd person camera code

[JmPrsh153]

omg im still not getting the mousewheel up and down working i have it in the default input and get no errors but still nothing the camera just stays still :/

[LazySnake61]

There is small glitch.When camera orbits extremely above pawn,it goes past that point and becomes upside down.

[online|offworld]

exec function CamZoomIn()
{
	`Log("Zoom in");
	if(CamOffsetDistance > CamMinDistance)
		CamOffsetDistance-=CamZoomTick;
}

exec function CamZoomOut()
{
	`Log("Zoom out");
	if(CamOffsetDistance < CamMaxDistance)
		CamOffsetDistance+=CamZoomTick;
}

this code gives me errors as it says :


am i missing something here?

EDIT: dont worry i ve sorted this, i just forgot to add the variable at the start for CamOffsetDistance lol ...

These things tend to be a house of cards, you can't just pull a couple of cards out of it then say OMG they won't stand up. Try instead implementing the script I've provided in it's entirety, then carefully removing a little bit at a time until it stops working. Then you'll know which bits you can take out without breaking it and which bits you can't.

[JmPrsh153]

hey do ou know how to make a looping sound stop at a certain point in uscript?

[kanga]

In my classes folder I copied the code sheets. I changed config files to reflect the new subclasses and am still getting these compile errors.

Warning/Error Summary
---------------------
C:\UDK\UDK-2011-06\Development\Src\RDGame\Classes\ActionPawn.uc(90) : Error, Unexpected 'ActionPlayerController'
C:\UDK\UDK-2011-06\Development\Src\RDGame\Classes\ActionPlayerController.uc(77) : Error, Unexpected '__________________'

Ok, the first one is just a {
These are copy paste from here.

The second one is a
{
}
with nothing in between, is there something that is supposed to go there?

Would love to get this working.
Cheers

Ha ha, now it works. Very impressive!

Pawn plays fine apart from no footsteps. Play level on pc starts in my environ but with the weapon as actor. Press 'f' on the keyboard and I see my pawn but she wont move. In World properties my game is specified as game type and PIE.

Any help welcome.

[online|offworld]

So it works fine in editor, but mucks up in play PC level?

[kanga]

Hi online/offworld, that right. Been searching for a setting but havent found it yet.

[Chathura]

Adding this to your pawn class will be simple i guess...
try changine the values to your liking...
its only a simple 3rd person camera... ( no mousewheel thing )
(i was thinking this would help someone...)

simulated function bool CalcCamera(float fDeltaTime, out vector out_CamLoc, out rotator out_CamRot, out float out_FOV)
{
	local vector startPoint, endPoint, hitLocation, hitNormal;
	local actor actorGotHit;
	local float playerCameraDistance, playerCameraHeightOffset;

	startPoint = Location;
	playerCameraDistance = 100.0f;         // tune this
	playerCameraHeightOffset = 35.0f;      // tune this

	if (Controller != none)
	{
		endPoint = Location - Vector(Controller.Rotation) * playerCameraDistance;
	}
	else
	{
		endPoint = Location - Vector(Rotation) * playerCameraDistance;
	}

	actorGotHit = Trace(hitLocation, hitNormal, endPoint, startPoint, false);

	if (actorGotHit != none)
	{
		out_CamLoc = hitLocation;
	}
	else
	{
		out_CamLoc = endPoint;
	}
	

	out_CamRot = Rotator(Location - out_CamLoc);
	out_CamLoc.Z = 	out_CamLoc.Z + playerCameraHeightOffset;
	return true;
}

Edit---------
its so funny that i was naming the "hitLocation" and "hitNormal" variables as "its hit Location" and "its hit Normal" (without the spaces) and the parser in the forum turned it to "it****Location" and "it****Normal" . :P
hehe... so funny...
so now i changed the variable identifiers... :P

Hi Kanga,

Can you zip up your scripts from your custom folder and put them online?

[kanga]

Hi online/offworld

Its not really my intention to make you debug my stuff. You should be spending time on those tutorials we all need Anyhow below are rars with the directory paths in the names.

www.art-werx.com/udk/dev_src_rdgame_Classes.rar
www.art-werx.com/udk/dev_src_utgameClasses.rar
www.art-werx.com/udk/udkgame_Config.rar

I think there is something basic I missed.
Cheers man and thanks in advance.

[blaklion]

is the facerotation the function that lets the camera rotate seperately from the pawn?

[Hawk]

Thanks a lot for this been trying to get this to work for last two days, and was about to make a topic about this but now don't need to.

I tried it out and it works great, only thing I was wondering is if you know how to fix it so the mesh turns with the camera. This way it will look like the player is shooting at what the players mesh is looking at, instead of the player shooting at what the camera is looking at while the mesh is facing a complete opposite direction. If anyone knows how to do this please share.

Thanks!

[blaklion]

I want the opposite of u! Lol!

[blaklion]

I asked if the facerotation is the function in which u can rotate the camera seperately from the pawn

[blaklion]

Can anyone answer my other post

[blaklion]

Is the face rotation function the one that makes the player rotate without the camera rotating with it?

[k24101990]

i like these camera i can't wirte coding
can u make code seem like these


i research so much
i haven't seen camera code like these
Why anyone not interest camera like these?
Cheer Cheer Alan wake

So I've never played this game but i like camera this game form watch youtube

i want that so much

[Hawk]

@ Blaklion

When I removed the following function:

simulated function FaceRotation(rotator NewRotation, float DeltaTime)
{
// Do not update Pawn's rotation if no accel
if (Normal(Acceleration)!=vect(0,0,0))
{
if ( Physics == PHYS_Ladder )
{
NewRotation = OnLadder.Walldir;
}
else if ( (Physics == PHYS_Walking) || (Physics == PHYS_Falling) )
{
NewRotation = rotator((Location + Normal(Acceleration))-Location);
NewRotation.Pitch = 0;
}
NewRotation = RLerp(Rotation,NewRotation,0.1,true);
SetRotation(NewRotation);
}

}

When you move the mouse(camera) The player moves with it as well so the players mesh will face the direction you are looking at and shoot that direction. So I believe the face rotation function is the one your looking for.

@ LazySnake61

I blocked out the following line of code in the pawn folder inside the "simulated function bool CalcCamera" function and when I did the camera no longer will flip on you.

out_CamRot=rotator((Location + vecCamHeight) - out_CamLoc);

Hope this helps!

Only 2 problems I'm still working on is
1.The mesh is floating a little bit off the ground. (fixed)
2. When I hit the f key to force death fake, the mesh disappears when it comes back to life. But once I death fake again the body shows up for the death, but when I come back to life again its gone.
If anyone knows of what I need to fix/remove/add please let me know

[blaklion]

Thanks for ur time and effort Hawk but I want the pawn to rotate SEPERATELY from the camera

[Hawk]

Here is a video of the camera I put together. Thank you everyone for the help!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6zgXWho5sY

@Blaklion
Can you link me to a video/show one of what your trying to do with your camera and I'll try to help figure it out.

[k24101990]

Hawk

can u share your camera it look like i am looking for Thank
look like camera stay right's character and left when turn around
that amazing man

it's closest alan wake camera
please share these i will fix it to alan wake camera please

it's work fine can u take a look where i done something wrong
i can't set class StayAlivePlayerController extends UTPlayerController; to StayAlivePlayerController extends GamePlayerController;
i can't rotation camera in UDK

and it's closest alan wake camera but
how to split Camera and Character each other
rotation camera i don't want character rotate follow is it hard?

[k24101990]

can U give me for blank UDK

[k24101990]

i still use class StayAlivePlayerController extends UTPlayerController;
and these Video


one problem when close character camera not smooth it's warp or someting 0:13 -0:14

[Hawk]

If you want the camera to rotate without the players mesh you need to add the following function to the StayAlivePawn classs. Not sure if it matters where its located, but incase it does. Place it under (not inside) the "simulated event BecomeViewTarget( PlayerController PC )" function. That should work for that problem.

simulated function FaceRotation(rotator NewRotation, float DeltaTime)
{
    // Do not update Pawn's rotation if no accel
    if (Normal(Acceleration)!=vect(0,0,0))
    {
        if ( Physics == PHYS_Ladder )
        {
            NewRotation = OnLadder.Walldir;
        }
        else if ( (Physics == PHYS_Walking) || (Physics == PHYS_Falling) )
        {
            NewRotation = rotator((Location + Normal(Acceleration))-Location);
            NewRotation.Pitch = 0;
        }
        NewRotation = RLerp(Rotation,NewRotation,0.1,true);
        SetRotation(NewRotation);
    }
    
} 

The following function in your StayAlivePawn is whats giving you the error your having. I'm not sure what your trying to do with that function, but if you remove it you shouldn't be getting that error I believe. I'm pretty new to udk programming so I might not be able to help you out with that function/error.

simulated function SetMeshVisibility(bool bVisible)
{

// Handle the main player mesh
if (Mesh != None)
{
Mesh.SetOwnerNoSee(!bVisible);
}

} 

For the camera close warp, The best thing to do is to limit angle in which the player can look up which at the moment I am not sure how to do/know the best way to do it. Hope This helps.

[blaklion]

Hawk this is the title of the video I
Search it up:action game camera control extending from UDK classes

[Hawk]

From this video you just want the "Basic Zoom"(shows at start) and "Top of Mountain Spin Around"(shows at 0:14) right? Not looking for the parts "FOV (scope) Zoom", "Bug Eye Zoom Around" also are you?

[k24101990]

thank very much Hawk it's helpfull
i will try



....it works
this code

simulated function FaceRotation(rotator NewRotation, float DeltaTime)
{
// Do not update Pawn's rotation if no accel
if (Normal(Acceleration)!=vect(0,0,0))
{
if ( Physics == PHYS_Ladder )
{
NewRotation = OnLadder.Walldir;
}
else if ( (Physics == PHYS_Walking) || (Physics == PHYS_Falling) )
{
NewRotation = rotator((Location + Normal(Acceleration))-Location);
NewRotation.Pitch = 0;
}
NewRotation = RLerp(Rotation,NewRotation,0.1,true);
SetRotation(NewRotation);
}

}

thank you very very much

[k24101990]

sry it's work now no error bacause i put these

simulated function SetMeshVisibility(bool bVisible)
{

// Handle the main player mesh
if (Mesh != None)
{

}

}

and it's work i just update code and i forgot fix text

i got no error but camera doesn't look on character

[k24101990]

about Bug Eye Zoom Around can i fix with old code right this
i don't know how to Applied on your code i just noob

//Linear interpolation algorithm. This is the "smoothing," so the camera doesn't jump between zoom levels
if (Dist != FreeCamDistance)
{
Dist = Lerp(Dist,FreeCamDistance,0.15); //Increment Dist towards FreeCamDistance, which is where you want your camera to be. Increments a percentage of the distance between them according to the third term, in this case, 0.15 or 15%
}
if (Z != TargetZ)
{
Z = Lerp(Z,TargetZ,0.1);
}
if (DefaultFOV != TargetFOV)
{
DefaultFOV = Lerp(DefaultFOV,TargetFOV,0.1);
}
if (Offset != TargetOffset)
{
Offset = Lerp(Offset,TargetOffset,0.1);
}

Pos = Loc - Vector(Rot) * Dist; /*Instead of using FreeCamDistance here, which would cause the camera to jump by the entire increment, we use Dist, which increments in small steps to the desired value of FreeCamDistance using the Lerp function above*/

For that code, can you show the "Lerp Function". Its used in the code snipet you gave so I would need to know whats all in it/why its being called, by viewing that function as well. I am also very new to this, so I'm just doing the best I can to help.

Good cam but one problem. Even through I have change default skeletal mesh and all the other things I still see the default robot character. Help please.

Try to add the following code to mine, if thats the code your using.


Inside the function simulated event BecomeViewTarget( PlayerController PC ). Inside the pawn class comment out the following line. It should hide the defualt mesh and let yours be visible I believe.

SetMeshVisibility(UTPC.bBehindView); 

Place this into the default properties. You might not need all of these, so try erasing one at a time if your getting errors because of the line, because I'm not sure if any of these are needed. I myself don't have a custom character that I can try out so hard for me to help with that.

If this doesn't work try to get a hold of online|offworld. He posted some code for showing a custom character so he may be able to help you out better then me.

[k24101990]

Are you change World porpoties >>Game Type?

followed on Hawk it's should work

[blaklion]

Can anyon answer my question? How do u rotate the camera seperately from the pawn
