Camera before class selection. - TheKingWillem - 14.07.2010

I'm trying to figure out how to put the camera somewhere, before the class selection. So for example when you enter the server, the camera will hang on a xx spot, and after 5 seconds you will go to class selection. But i really cant figure out how to do that.

Basically, if i am not mistaken, on OnPlayerRequestClass you return 0 for 5 seconds then allow it to return 1 again. I think, haven't done this but suggest be tried.

Well I kinda don't understand you but try this under OnPlayerConnect :

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid
{
  SetTimerEx("LOL", 1000/10, false, "i", playerid)
  return 1;
}

forward LOL(playerid);
public LOL(playerid)
{
  SetCameraPos(....)
  ....
  return 1;
}

You get my point

Why set a timer?
I tried it without a timer just plain put the Camerapos under on connect,
didn't work :P so set a timer

This is what you should do.

If you want to hide the selection ({<<} {>>} {SPAWN}), you have to mess with spectating, when you set player to spectate something, those dialogs should disappear. TogglePlayerSpectating. You could also check Grand Larceny gamemode.

I don't know, this shit kinda worked for me :

pawn Code:

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
 SetTimerEx("OnPlayerConnectView", 1000/2/2, false, "i", playerid);
 return 1;
}

forward OnPlayerConnectView(playerid);
public OnPlayerConnectView(playerid)
{
    SetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, 54.038623);
    SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, 2459.469238, -1651.988525, 13.437360);
    SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, 2459.469238 + (10 * floatsin(-54.038623, degrees)), -1651.988525 + (10 * floatcos(-54.038623, degrees)), 13.437360);
    return 1;
}

Yes it kinda works, the camera is on a different spot, but it still is on the class selection.

Oh, so what you want to do is, when you connect, the camera will be on a different spot
until on OnPlayerRequest class?

The spot won't change until you spawn?

Re: Camera before class selection. - TheKingWillem - 14.07.2010

Let me explain. If you enter my server, the camera will hang in a different spot of the map, and showing some textdraw or something. After 5 seconds it should then go to class selection where u can choose a character.

pawn Code:

new bool:beenspectating[MAX_PLAYERS];

forward spawnplayer(playerid);
public spawnplayer(playerid)
{
    beenspectating[playerid] = true;

    ForceClassSelection(playerid);
    TogglePlayerSpectating(playerid, 0);

    SpawnPlayer(playerid);
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerConnect(playerid)
{
    beenspectating[playerid] = false;
    return 1;
}

public OnPlayerRequestClass(playerid, classid)
{
    if(beenspectating[playerid])
    {
        return 1;
    }
    else
    {
        SpawnPlayer(playerid);
        TogglePlayerSpectating(playerid, 1);

        // SetPlayerCameraPos, SetPlayerCameraLookAt, etc.

        SetTimerEx("spawnplayer", 5000, false, "i", playerid);
        return 0;
    }
}

Should work. I scripted that in very short time so it might have bugs. I tested if it works, and it did.
