Howdy guys, here's the problem:

I have a scripted event that moves the player and controls where he is looking. After The events is over and the player is back in control, the player is looking in the direction of wherever he was moving the mouse during the script.


What I'm using to look around:




What I've done:

I've made sure to set the position mouse screen width()/2,screen height()/2 Right before and even after the script ends.

I've recorded the angle that I want them looking after the script and rotated the object and camera to this angle before and after the script

I've replaced my old and new angle values to the new desired angle for when the mouse move script is called.

I don't know what to try next. Your help is greatly appreciated

Odd solution found. There is probably a better way since I don't really understand why the other things I did didn't work.

I called my mouse repositioning/look script right after the event, and inside that script I put in a check to see if a variable testing whether or not a scripted event just happened is true at the end of the file.

When it is true, it did all of the changes before hand to move the mouse where it would normally move, but then I change my variables that hold x and y, then rotate the camera and object again.

I think the reason why this works is because the mousemove() function is called so it resets how far it moved before, but then I rotate everything back to where it should have been.

If anyone has similar problems go ahead and ask me if you need help

Wos I was always looking at the mouse move code thinking what better ways to use it to optimise movement but was concerned it will become jerky... do you get this doing the above?

(the challenge is still on muahahhaa)

Just as long as I calculate everything before I call sync I'll be fine.

And fyi, do you really call yourself competition? Hah, by the time we're done I'll have posted all over your face!!!

Hmm so it comes out smooth right? would the end users DPI settings for their mouse not affect this?

Yah, it worked out perfectly, I just have to adjust it slightly for the transition angle because I just put in a rough number. The problem was that when the player moved the mouse around during the script event, all those changes caught up and took effect once the script ended. What I did was let the change happen, then reversed what it did kinda.


(and no anti-sticking cream is going to make 5 3" screws unstick)

Nice... hope I can implement this sometime soon... might try locking a cameras scope angles and giving this a try... like for a cctv camera if you get me...

It's going to look great once I get everything tuned just right.

(Are you trying to distract me from my project so you can steal all of the ingacremo glory?)

It's coming along great, but I'm thinking we should refer the rest of this conversation over to ingacremo

Only sad things is that Im manually placing all the overlays in my levels by code. I would have figured 3dworld studio would have support for something like that
