Hey ! Thanks for stopping by !

 

So I've played quite a lot with the S.E.E. and the Rj-RotWK mods, and I've always been impressed by the different camera angles system...

 

So, I decided to look a bit into the code and stuff, to understand how they did, but I don't really understand... I can't find camera parameters and how they did to be able to change the angle. I think I'm missing something.

Plus, I tried touching all the camera options in gamedata, and none of them seems to change anything...

 

Do you have an idea ? I would be so grateful to be able to code my own camera system, and avoid copying code that is not mine, and that I can't understand...

 

I tried searching on the 3rd age, but didn't found anything interesting... Maybe you guys have a tutorial ? Or can advice me on how to do it ? That would be really appreciated !

 

Thanks a lot for your help !

If I recall correctly, the camera changes are map scripts that are activated by in game spells. So the scripts for the camera changes need to be manually added into each map you want them to work for.

Along with that, EA added a surprising amount of camera scripts in World Builder, but the more complex ones will likely crash the game / cause some degree of lag.  There's a lot of trial an error involved if you want to get decent results.

Yep camera scripts that are triggered locally by spellbook spells.

That's how that's done, all in worldbuilder scripts, so that's fun...

Okay thanks a lot for responding quickly ^^ I'm gonna go ahead in the world editor and try some stuff by myself then
