RE: Set camera angle
Hi, if you search for "camera" in the tutorials project, there are some examples.
Maybe the info you need?

RE: Set camera angle
There's a tutorial called camera modes, that shows 3 camera usages, like FPP TPP isometric.

RE: Set camera angle
Hi, please look into the camera modes tutorial, in the place where the camera is being set based on the current head bone position, possibly using setPosDir, comment that out, and replace it with setAngle function.
Hope this helps

RE: Set camera angle
Thanks,its really helps,but i still have some problems:
-I created Player object with capsule collision, but collision not always working,i mean that character falling through terrain.
-for camera i used this function Cam.setAngle(Players[0].pos()+Vec(0, 2, 0),Players[0].angle.x,Players[0].angle.y, 0 ); but if i turn camera back game just stoping. Stoping game is mean error?

RE: Set camera angle
What do you mean by 'turn the camera back' and 'the game stopping'?

RE: Set camera angle
i mean that if you are turning camera to ~340-360 degrees game just freezing, same if you trying look top.

RE: Set camera angle
You'll have to show a bit more code.. I don't see anything that could crash on that line.

RE: Set camera angle
this is code for player:

bool update()
{
if(action)
{
if(Kb.b(KB_W) || Kb.b(KB_S) || Kb.b(KB_A) || Kb.b(KB_D) || Kb.b(KB_Q) || Kb.b(KB_E))actionBreak();
}

if(!action)
{
// turn & move
input.turn.x=Kb.b(KB_Q)-Kb.b(KB_E);
input.turn.y=Kb.b(KB_T)-Kb.b(KB_G);
input.move.x=Kb.b(KB_D)-Kb.b(KB_A);
input.move.z=Kb.b(KB_W)-Kb.b(KB_S);
input.move.y=Kb.b(KB_SPACE)-Kb.b(KB_LSHIFT);

// dodge, crouch, walk, jump
input.dodge = Kb.bd(KB_D)-Kb.bd(KB_A);
input.crouch= Kb.b (KB_LSHIFT);
input.walk = Kb.b (KB_LCTRL );
input.jump =(Kb.bp(KB_SPACE ) ? 3.5 : 0);

// mouse turn

Flt max=DegToRad(900)*Time.d();
angle.x-=Mid(Ms.d().x*1.7, -max, max);
angle.y+=Mid(Ms.d().y*1.7, -max, max);

}
//ScaleFactor(10);
Vec dir;
dir.x = angle.y;
dir.y = angle.x;
dir.normalize();
//Cam.setPosDir(pos(), dir);
Cam.setAngle(pos()+Vec(0, 2, 0), angle.x, angle.y);
return super.update();
}
