A challenge... Side scroller platform game in 1942

[Vilespring]

well, I have a tank built, and it works. can I use it?
pLeAsE?

fo0k, I've never heard of anyone trying to make the soldier act like that. His shots can't come from the camera (fireInCameraDof) like vanilla Bf42 because the camera will be far away on the side. And he can't rotate side to side, just up and down. But because he can't rotate, how is he going to turn around and shoot on the other side?

Perhaps there can be a glitched PCO that is stuck to him, and he can enter and exit it at any time. The exit point of the PCO has its exit point NEVERMIND

My brain hurts.

removal of the fire in direction of camera helps, but the soldier's animations don't shoot true. When standing still, shots go left and low.

A tank, on the other hand, works great for this.

Anyone know how to move and rotate the Solder camera?

I swear, freddy put an answer up, and POOF! It's gone!

[freddy]

it didnt work, i swear there is something fishy goin on with that soldier camera!

my computer crashed before i could test it (then i gave up), but i was about to just try and delete the whole stupid camera as nothing seems to change it for what ever code i tried, would probably just have worked as normal anyway

[freddy]

the only thing that actually did something was when changing this code

Code: Select all

rem *** Different camera positions for different soldier poses.
objectTemplate.center1pHands -0.12/-1.56/0.1
ObjectTemplate.setPoseCameraPos c_BfSoldierStanding 0/0.65/0
ObjectTemplate.setPoseCameraPos c_BfSoldierCrouching 0/0.12/0
ObjectTemplate.setPoseCameraPos c_BfSoldierLying 0/-0.7/0
ObjectTemplate.setCharacterHeight -1.00

That'll do! But what about rotation?

That'll do! But what about rotation?
