Title: Vehicle tracking without all that otha stuff
Post by: max_killer_payne on 11 Jul 2003, 19:56:48

I havent tried this yet, but in theory wouldnt this work?

Code: [Select]

#loop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0
@camcommitted _cam
goto "loop"        

And one more question how can I end a loop after say 20 seconds?

EDIT: Just tried it out works fine real smooth. You don't need to use the select 0 commands nemore. All I need now is to how to make the loop end once a time limit has expired.

I don't think U can if U want it that smooth, cos delay is  0

maybe U can make it as short as possible like 0.0001

Quote

_c = 0
#loop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0
_c = _c + 0.0001
?(_c  > 0.002) : goto "stopcam"
goto "loop"

#stopcam
_cam camsettarget... and so on...

cos 0.0001 * 20(sec) = 0.002 :)

Or run a another counterscript in your camscript and use a bolean... :-\  

Hmmm. I like to know this too...

Hmm I made it difficult...it's the same but U don't need that 0.0001 thingy I think

try :

Quote

_c = 0
#loop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0
_c = _c + 1
?(_c  > 20) : goto "stopcam"
goto "loop"

#stopcam
_cam camsettarget... and so on...

Hmmm, actually U can make it smooooth...

i tested it b4 u, nope doesn't work.

I must be a bit confused last night, cos I forgot the delay...

OK, new try...

Quote

_c = 0
#loop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0.0001
_c = _c + 0.0001
?(_c  > 0.002) : goto "stopcam"
goto "loop"

#stopcam
_cam camsettarget... and so on...

or

camscript.sqs

Quote

stopcam = false
[] exec "counter.sqs"

#loop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0
?stopcam: goto "endit"
goto "loop"

#endit
_cam camsettarget ...blablabla

run another counterscript within your camscript

counter.sqs

Quote

_c = 0

#loop
_c=_c+1
~1
?(_c == 20) : Stopcam = true
goto "loop"

Run the counterscript b4 the loop in the camscript, not in it!
When _c reach 20: stopcam = true and your loop stops in your camscript. In that way you can keep your camcommit 0
that makes it smoooth...

Sorry for the bad English, hope it helps.
