Damn, I totally missed that

Yes, replace local with level.

Thanks It worked

Just some precisions please :

1)Why should I write level instead of local ?

2)Can whe make this trigger camera_use active , other way than pressing Use key? If player is touching the trigger for instance , that would fit better my desires.

Thanks

Just read in g_allclasses:

Code: Select all

doTouch( Entity touchingEntity )


sent to entity when touched.

I think it should work.I ll give feedbacks

edit: It says Dotouch applied to Nil listener, and when i press use key , the cam work though ?????weird.

here is the code I've used.

Code: Select all


pilot1_cam:

local.player = parm.other 
level.camera_trigger doTouch local.player

end

I dont get it at all. Hopefully its just me thinking into the wrong direction...
Anyway, if someone could give me a little demo map so I could see it in action, I'd really appreciate this (and would have a new piece for the recycling bin

)

Sorry again with my questions:

How do you do to switch off the camera view? remove comand keep saying in console "applied to Nil listener"

Could i script teleport, moving objects or whatever whe can do with a normal trigger_use or multiple , using a trigger camera_Use.

Wanna move the player to a camera , to let him watch , what i want to.(moving objects and player beaming down especially).

Ps: Sorry wacko , i would gladly do a .map but i am lost..hehe

thanks

level and local are predefined objects that you can insert data into.
The difference is that local only lives inside the function ( between function_name: and the following end ), but level lives from the time the level starts until it ends.
Read detalis here: http://gronnevik.se/rjukan/index.php?n= ... ptLanguage ( under the section named "predefined objects" )

Yes, I guess you just use a trigger_multiple instead of a trigger_use.

Let's say my trigger_use is targetnamed "my_trigger".

This trigger_use, once activated , teleport the player somewhere with some animated objects.I would like the camera to be set , so the player could see what happen.

shall i write the thing like that :

Code: Select all


level waittill prespawn

local.tgname = "cam_pilot1" + randomint 1000 
local.camera = spawn Camera targetname local.tgname 
local.camera.origin = (616 4400 2648 ) 
$my_trigger target local.tgname

main:

my_thread:

$my_trigger waittill trigger 
local.player = parm.other 

$my_trigger doUse local.player

wait .5

local.player tele XXXXXX

$my_object moveDown XXXXXX
$my_object waitmove

$my_trigger cueplayer local.player//That doesnt work though , but it will be nice to answer to everyone how to deactive the camera_view

end

Is that possible ? Cause i cant get it to work.

thank you for the HELP

try doing

$my_trigger doUse local.player

again

stopwatchingactor - neevr used that? can u amke a players cma watcha actor?

watchactor - hmm i guess so

u cud make the cam watch the player.hehe

Posted: **Wed May 11, 2005 11:40 am**

stopwatchingactor( Entity actor_to_stop_watching )
Makes the player's camera stop watching the specified actor.

So to use that comand, it need first the player to be set viewing an actor , wich is not the case currently....
Or what i shall i stop watching to ?

......

Btw i also tried

Code: Select all

local.player cut , as mentioned JV at start, the console said applied to NIL.
