SetCameraFacing() Question

I can't get oPC to face east...???
void main()
{

 object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
 if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

 AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions());

 location lLoc = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("SIT_DOWN"));
 AssignCommand(oPC, ActionMoveToLocation(lLoc, FALSE));
 AssignCommand(oPC, SetCameraFacing(0.0, 5.0, 10.0, CAMERA_TRANSITION_TYPE_SNAP));
 AssignCommand(oPC, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_LOOPING_SIT_CROSS, 1.0, 10.0));

}

I checked the lexicon and didn't glean anything useful.
Everything works except SetFacing. What am I doing wrong?

    Cry havoc! I think I have it!
    AssignCommand(oPC, SetCameraFacing(0.0, 5.0, 10.0, CAMERA_TRANSITION_TYPE_SNAP));
 DelayCommand(1.0, AssignCommand(oPC, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_LOOPING_SIT_CROSS, 1.0, 10.0)));

    Guess I just needed time for the animation to clear. ;)

    Cry darn it! I don't have it. It worked once (are there freakish coincidences in coding). Oh well.
    As it is, the PC moves to lLoc, but doesn't face east after that. It's only when you disengage from conversation does SetFacing work?

    If you wrap SetCameraFacing inside ActionDoCommand, it's executed when the ActionMove completes.

    You may need to disable Dialogue Zoom, too, as it tends to resist scripted camera work, especially at end of conversation.

    I don't suppose anyone knows where to disable dialog zoom feature or command can be located? I looked in the conversation editor, on the character and the script editor. Can't find anything. I could swear I've seen it before. Have I overlooked something?

    It was in the conversation editor under "current file." Not even remotely close to where I remember it being. Ha!

    I've tried my hardest and am banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out. It still won't SetFace before sitting...

    This is my messed-up block now...
    void main()
{
 object oPC = GetPCSpeaker();
 if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

 AssignCommand(oPC, ClearAllActions());
 object oPywicket = GetObjectByTag("PYWICKET");

 location lLoc = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("SIT_DOWN"));
 location lLoc2 = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("WICKET_LOC"));
 location lLoc3 = GetLocation(GetWaypointByTag("GUST_LOC"));

 AssignCommand(oPC, ActionMoveToLocation(lLoc, FALSE));
 DelayCommand(2.0, ActionDoCommand(SetCameraFacing(60.0, 3.0, 20.0, CAMERA_TRANSITION_TYPE_SNAP)));
 DelayCommand(2.5, AssignCommand(oPC, ActionPlayAnimation(ANIMATION_LOOPING_SIT_CROSS, 1000.0))); // Will remove 
 // the effect before timer runs out

 effect eGust = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_PULSE_WIND);
 ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eGust, lLoc3);
 effect eDisApp = EffectDisappearAppear(GetLocation(oPC), 1);
 PlayVoiceChat(VOICE_CHAT_ENEMIES, oPywicket);
 ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_TEMPORARY, eDisApp, oPywicket, 7.0);
}
    Yeah

    Do you want the character of the player to face east or the camera of the player's client?
  • ZephiriusZephirius Member Posts: 411
    The character of the player Daz.

    Then SetFacing rather than SetCameraFacing, wrapped in ActionDoCommand not delayed.
