Attach Camera To Socket Help

[Melontank]

Hey guys,

I'm trying to attach a camera to a socket I made using CalcCamera, but its not working. Please help me out ?, It defaults to third person and I want it to be viewed from where I attached the camera.

Piece of code I want to work!:

/** Name of the Bone/Socket to base the camera on */
    var() name CameraTag;

simulated function bool CalcCamera( float fDeltaTime, out vector out_CamLoc, out rotator out_CamRot, out float out_FOV )
{
    local vector SocketLoc;
    local rotator SocketRot;

//get the location and rotation of the socket
    Mesh.GetSocketWorldLocationAndRotation(CameraTag, SocketLoc, SocketRot);

        //set the cam location and rotation
    out_CamLoc = SocketLoc;
    out_CamRot = SocketRot;

    return true;
}

defaultproperties
{
    
//change GunViewSocket to whatever your socket is called
CameraTag=Eyes

Game Info Class:

class CaptivityGameInfo extends UTDeathMatch;

 

var CaptivityPlayerController currentPlayer;

 

function RestartPlayer(Controller aPlayer)

{

super.RestartPlayer(aPlayer);

`Log("Player restarted");

currentPlayer = CaptivityPlayerController(aPlayer);

 

currentPlayer.resetMesh();

currentPlayer.rSetBehindView(false);

currentPlayer.rSetCameraMode('ThirdPerson');

}

 

simulated function PostBeginPlay() {

local UTDeathMatch Game;

Super.PostBeginPlay();

 

Game = UTDeathMatch(WorldInfo.Game);

 

if (Game != None)

{

Game.PlayerControllerClass=Class'CaptivityGame.CaptivityPlayerController';

}

}

just set the pawn class on your game info to your custom pawn class. You can modify the visibility in the mesh properties instead of having to use the cheat code which may not work due to the cheat manager class.

[Melontank]

whats the difference between a pawn and a custom pawn ?! please explain more ! I've already made a custom pawn ?!

[tegleg]

in your gameinfo defaultproperties

DefaultPawnClass=class'YourPawn'

[Acecutter69]

anything thats not done by Epic is usually refered to as custom, so custom pawn means a class created by the user that extends pawn, gamepawn, simplepawn, udkpawn, or utpawn

*Solved! Thank you TEGLEG ! I owe you !
