GoW Camera Tutorial extension

[Big_Mike2]

Is it possible to add my own custom character with this camera code. If so, can someone tell me how?

[Supamigit]

nobody knows?

The answer is 3-4 post above yours.. please if it didnt help write the code that did or atleast teh fix or the screwup.
PS i have working gow camera with a imported weapon..

everything fine for the camera and the mesh on death etc

weapon unfortunatly i cant figuer the muzzleflash, got the decal to change on impact also the trail to change but not the muzzle flash

im trying to find a tutorial for weapons that DONT change the WHOLE effect of pawn, controller, or change to much to inventorymanager becuase i did this and the whole functionality of weapons fail.. well whats working now..

im willing to give code post code what ever you want.. let me learn by helping to the stage im at now..

Hi

I did everything that mentioned in this tutorial
It seems I still have issue with aimming.

The bullets fly to the bottom right corner of the crosshair when I'm in the shoulder cam mode.
It didn't fly toward the crosshair

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

Thank you

[HauntedSnakeyes]

Awesome code. Works like a champ in July 2013 build.

[GhostShaman]

So I am having trouble using other skeletal meshes. How can I do this?

[Xerxes_8933a]

Put this in your player controller class:

event Possess(Pawn inPawn, bool bVehicleTransition)
{
	Super.Possess(inPawn, bVehicleTransition);
	SetBehindView(true);
	// force garbage collection when possessing pawn, to avoid GC during gameplay
	if ( bVehicleTransition )
	{
		if ( (WorldInfo.NetMode == NM_Client) || (WorldInfo.NetMode == NM_Standalone) )
		{
			WorldInfo.ForceGarbageCollection();
		}
	}
}

This is using the default "Possess" event for the player controller in my build. I just added a line. If you have any problems you need to find the Possess event that your player controller is using.

This is the important part:

Fantastic! - problem solved, thanks for taking the time to post Magnilucent

A big thank you to Shozokui for posting this, it's exactly what I was looking for and the code works really well.

However I have a problem, when the player (pawn) dies, the character mesh disappears upon re-spawn leaving just the weapon floating in mid-air. You can still move around and play but all you see is a gun floating in mid-air.

Has anyone else encountered the same problem and more importantly does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it?.

Thanks in advance....

Just Place the following code in your Pawn Class, it shoul

simulated function bool CalcCamera( float fDeltaTime, out vector out_CamLoc, out rotator out_CamRot, out float out_FOV )
{
   local vector CamStart, HitLocation, HitNormal, CamDirX, CamDirY, CamDirZ, CurrentCamOffset;
   local float DesiredCameraZOffset;

   CamStart = Location;
   CurrentCamOffset = CamOffset;

   DesiredCameraZOffset = (Health > 0) ? 1.2 * GetCollisionHeight() + Mesh.Translation.Z : 0.f;
   CameraZOffset = (fDeltaTime < 0.2) ? DesiredCameraZOffset * 5 * fDeltaTime + (1 - 5*fDeltaTime) * CameraZOffset : DesiredCameraZOffset;
   
   if ( Health <= 0 )
   {
      CurrentCamOffset = vect(0,0,0);
      CurrentCamOffset.X = GetCollisionRadius();
   }

   CamStart.Z += CameraZOffset;
   GetAxes(out_CamRot, CamDirX, CamDirY, CamDirZ);
   CamDirX *= CurrentCameraScale;

   if ( (Health <= 0) || bFeigningDeath )
   {
      // adjust camera position to make sure it's not clipping into world
      // @todo fixmesteve.  Note that you can still get clipping if FindSpot fails (happens rarely)
      FindSpot(GetCollisionExtent(),CamStart);
   }
   if (CurrentCameraScale < CameraScale)
   {
      CurrentCameraScale = FMin(CameraScale, CurrentCameraScale + 5 * FMax(CameraScale - CurrentCameraScale, 0.3)*fDeltaTime);
   }
   else if (CurrentCameraScale > CameraScale)
   {
      CurrentCameraScale = FMax(CameraScale, CurrentCameraScale - 5 * FMax(CameraScale - CurrentCameraScale, 0.3)*fDeltaTime);
   }

   if (CamDirX.Z > GetCollisionHeight())
   {
      CamDirX *= square(cos(out_CamRot.Pitch * 0.0000958738)); // 0.0000958738 = 2*PI/65536
   }

   out_CamLoc = CamStart - CamDirX*CurrentCamOffset.X + CurrentCamOffset.Y*CamDirY + CurrentCamOffset.Z*CamDirZ;

   if (Trace(HitLocation, HitNormal, out_CamLoc, CamStart, false, vect(12,12,12)) != None)
   {
      out_CamLoc = HitLocation;

   return true;

Anyone know how to change the zoom so default camera is over shoulder and the zoom goes to first person style??

[GunnerJnr]

I only have one small error now and that is when I run my level from the batch file it starts in the basic fps mode its not picking up my game info code! hmmm any suggestions??

Oh and I forgot to mention that yes I have used GameInfo in the editor and the config files

Solved it just need to add this to GameInfo class for anybody else who has this trouble

WOW took a while but i found the fix to get it running in the batch file. Just needed to add this to the GameInfo class.

static event class<GameInfo> SetGameType(string MapName, string Options, string Portal)
{
	return class'RhoneGame.RhoneGameInfo';
}

Your extension has solved this problem for me and just wanted to thank you I have referenced this extension in a comment on there tutorial to help out others. Oh and nice little touch with the cod style eye zoom much better than the alternate firing thanks.

Works a treat
