[Non Issue - Fixed] Problem with extending Camera base class on iOS.

[Onoa]

Hi,

I'm trying to setup an Isometric camera and I've been following a couple of forum posts (slightly outdated) to do so.

I'm basically doing the following:

My PlayerController class extends from MobilePC (previously from GamePlayerController) and I set the defaults as:

DefaultProperties
{
	CameraClass=class'IsometricCamera';		
}

The IsometricCamera class contains a copy of the UpdateViewTarget function with added code to support the Isometric view:

case 'Isometric':
	// fix Camera rotation
	Rot.Pitch = (-55.0f     *DegToRad) * RadToUnrRot;
	Rot.Roll =  (0          *DegToRad) * RadToUnrRot;
	Rot.Yaw =   (30.0f      *DegToRad) * RadToUnrRot;
	Loc.X = PCOwner.Pawn.Location.X - 64;
	Loc.Y = PCOwner.Pawn.Location.Y - 64;
	Loc.Z = PCOwner.Pawn.Location.Z + 156;

	Pos = Loc - Vector(Rot) * FreeCamDistance;

	OutVT.POV.Location = Pos;
	OutVT.POV.Rotation = Rot;
	break;

And my GamePawn extends MobilePawn and contains an overloaded version of the function GetDefaultCameraMode:

simulated function name GetDefaultCameraMode( PlayerController RequestedBy )
{
	return 'Isometric';
}

The problem is:

This code is working on PC, and works as well in the Mobile Previewer.

But it doesn't work on the device itself. I am not really sure what is going on, but it seems that it's being overridden by something, somewhere.

Would anyone have any idea what could be the problem here?

Thanks!

Hmm, I think my app is actually simply crashing on the device. Currently investigating the problem.

Confirmed. The code is running fine. It was a totally unrelated issue.
