ingame camera angle, pivot (center) and distance

NWN_Töml · February 2018

hello all,

is there a way to get the coordinates of said three numbers so i can use them for my camera script. It would be a very long and boring way to not know what my camera settings are betwenn the toolset and the actual ingame cam!

Thanks many

Well..if nothing can be done ingame then i have to test it out... huh...what a fun

There's no functions that will get the current camera data. One option would be to place a waypoint marking the location the camera should shoot from and calculate the angle and distance from there.

Another option would be to use a debug function that cycles through settings until you see what looks good. Here's a script I cobbled together that would do just that for the camera direction. I attached it to the OnUsed event of a lever in my test area. You could do a similar script for the distance and pitch.

void main()
{
    int i;
    float fDirection, fDelay;
    string sDirection;
    object oPC = GetLastUsedBy();

    AssignCommand(oPC, StoreCameraFacing());

    for (i = 0; i < 360; i++)
    {
        fDirection = IntToFloat(i);
        fDelay = fDirection / 4;
        sDirection = FloatToString(fDirection);
        DelayCommand(fDelay, AssignCommand(oPC, SetCameraFacing(fDirection)));
        DelayCommand(fDelay, SendMessageToPC(oPC, "Camera direction: " + sDirection));
    }

    fDelay += 5.0;
    DelayCommand(fDelay, AssignCommand(oPC, RestoreCameraFacing()));
    DelayCommand(fDelay, SendMessageToPC(oPC, "Restoring original camera..."));
}
