Example Scripts
Tail Camera (with Bank)
Note the reciprocal math:
#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp"
If (local rex) then {
fgh2050 animate ["Trunk",1];
//fgh2050 action ["OpenTrunk", fgh2050];
_forever = true;
_locationPosition = GetPos fgh2050;
_cam = "seagull" camCreate (position fgh2050);
_cam cameraEffect["internal","FRONT"];
_grp = group _cam;
selectPlayer _cam;
while {(_forever)} do {
_locationPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,-4.5,1.5];
//_locationPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,5.9,2.5]; //CPG EYES
_targetPosition = fgh2050 modelToWorld [0,100,0];
_cam SetPos _locationPosition;
_fgh2050PB = fgh2050 call fn_vbs_getPitchBank;
_fgh2050Dir = getDir fgh2050;
_cam setDir _fgh2050Dir+180;
myPitch = _fgh2050PB select 0;
myBank = _fgh2050PB select 1;
myPitch = -1 * myPitch-5;
myBank = -1 * myBank;
//hint "my pitch and bank ";
//hint format["pitch %1, bank %2",myPitch, myBank];
[_cam, myPitch, myBank] call fn_vbs_setPitchBank;
_cam CamCommit 0;
sleep 0.005;
showCinemaBorder false
};
}
Nose Camera (with Bank)
Here's a script that will put the player on the nose of the apache.
To use:
1. Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
2. Save the mission
3. Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
4. Create a new sqf filed (text) named player.sqf
5. Save the file
6. In the initialization text box for the player, place:
call {apache execVM "player.sqf";}
Tested: VBS2 v1.23
Note: this script uses VBS2 functions (see header below). You may be able to modify use of the fn_vbs_setPitchBankcommand with something that works in ARMA (camSetBank).
#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp"
_forever = true;
_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
_cam = "seagull" camCreate (position apache);
_cam cameraEffect["internal","back"];
_grp = group _cam;
selectPlayer _cam;
while {(_forever)} do {
//_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,3.8,2.0]; //CPG EYES
_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,5.9,2.0]; //CPG EYES
_targetPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,100,0];
_cam SetPos _locationPosition;
_apachePB = apache call fn_vbs_getPitchBank;
_apacheDir = getDir apache;
_cam setDir _apacheDir;
[_cam, _apachePB select 0, _apachePB select 1] call fn_vbs_setPitchBank;
_cam CamCommit 0;
sleep 0.005;
};
Nose Camera (No Bank)
This script place a camera on the nose of an apache.
To use:
1. Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew
2. Save the mission
3. Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission
4. Create a new sqf filed (text) named apache.txt
5. Save the file
6. In the initialization text box for the apache, place:
call {apache execVM "apache.sqf";}
Tested w/ VBS2 1.23
#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp"
_forever = true;
_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
_camera = "camera" camcreate _locationPosition;
_camera cameraEffect["internal","back"];
//_camera CamSetDir 0;
_camera CamSetFOV 1;
_camera camSetTarget _locationPosition;
//_camera CamSetPos [_locationPosition Select 0,(_locationPosition Select 1) + 2, 5];
_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
_camera CamSetFOV 0.7;
_camera CamCommit 0;
while {(_forever)} do {
_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,6,2];
_targetPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,100,0];
_camera camsettarget _targetPosition;
_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
_camera CamCommit 0;
sleep 0.005;
};
Notes:
* For the life of me I could not control the bank angle of the camera. Tried to use CamSetBank but no dice!
