Im currently Working on my first full game,
I plan on having Online/Offline Capabilitys,

The trouble I am having is.

I want the camera To Rotate Around The Object
and I want To have It With A right click + hold, Then Rotate X,Y,Z
Centered On main Characte

Also, I plan To have the character goto wherever "Player" Clicks.

Please, All I need is basic Information On it, Not full source.


Thanks,
Crystal Pro FX

You seem to be asking about a rotating following camera, but I'm not quite sure. You can accomplish that quite easily by using,



This creates a camera that will follow and rotate around your main character. I don't use this system any more. It's very limiting. I use timer based movement for everything and the 'set camera to follow' command is incompatible with that.

After you run that command, you need to do your own terrain and collision checks. You can store the old position of the camera and place it back it there was a collision. Raycasting works great, so does a dummy collision sphere. Alternately, you could ghost objects that obstruct the camera view.

As for the rest of your question, I'm not sure what you're asking.

Now, all of that being said, this is much too early for a WIP post. This belongs in the DBP forum as a question. This forum is for games that have some progress. Browse through and read some of the locked posts. They're all games that have no development.

Good luck with your project. I love RPGs, and I hope to see good things come from you.


Come see the WIP!

You can just position the camera at the player position, rotate it, then move it backwards to zoom out - would work as a fixed 3rd person camera, but also with line intersect collision you can check the cameras path and adjust it. Like if there's a collision between the new zoomed out camera position and the character, maybe move the camera up or only zoom out to the collision point - even alpha fade the objects inbetween for a console-style 3rd person effect.

Good luck with that. DBP does what I need it to.

I did it purposely. His Geek Culture thread was locked, and because of the nature of this thread, I felt compelled to post a reply.

Actually, I have a music system, Menu system. Skills and Attack Engine + Item Using And a Magic System Almost Done, The cube and map Are just temporary place holders, Im doing main Modeling after Im done the Dirty Work (Programming) So please understand That this is not going to be a simple

do
if inkey$() = "w" then move camera +1
loop

I will post some code, and More screen shots as I see fit, And whenever I have time, I am also Coding My own dll`s and Functions for it, So I am pretty Busy (And I am Learning C++)

#include <iostream.h>

main(void)
{
cout << "Hello World!" ;
}
