Calculating facing angle cameras by offsetting - [SF]OutLawZ - 06.01.2014

Hello, just a question I can't figure out,
How do I get a camera facing the player regardless what angle their facing?

Re: Calculating facing angle cameras by offsetting - Threshold - 06.01.2014

Kind of confused what you're asking for here.
Do you want the camera to face the player head-on, no matter what way the player is looking?
Does the camera being set belong to the player themselves, or another player looking at this player?

Yes, the camera is to face the player head-on no matter what way their looking.
And no, the camera to face them self, not another player.

I don't know where you are using this function, so I put it in a command as an example. I named this command '/lookatmyself'.

ZCMD:

pawn Код:

CMD:lookatmyself(playerid, params[])
{
    new Float:a, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:oldx, Float:oldy;
    GetPlayerPos(playerid, oldx, oldy, z);
    GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, a);
    if(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid)) GetVehicleZAngle(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), a);
    x = oldx + (4 * floatsin(-a, degrees));
    y = oldy + (4 * floatcos(-a, degrees));
    SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, x, y, z);
    SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, oldx, oldy, z);
    return 1;
}

STRCMP

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerCommandText(playerid, cmdtext[])
{
    if(strcmp(cmdtext, "/lookatmyself", true) == 0)
    {
        new Float:a, Float:x, Float:y, Float:z, Float:oldx, Float:oldy;
        GetPlayerPos(playerid, oldx, oldy, z);
        GetPlayerFacingAngle(playerid, a);
        if(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid)) GetVehicleZAngle(GetPlayerVehicleID(playerid), a);
        x = oldx + (4 * floatsin(-a, degrees));
        y = oldy + (4 * floatcos(-a, degrees));
        SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, x, y, z);
        SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, oldx, oldy, z);
        return 1;
    }
    return 0;
}

You can use this filterscript: https://sampforum.blast.hk/showthread.php?tid=330879

OR

Alternatively you can use JernejL's map editor, there is a option for copy camera angle.

EDIT: Sorry if I get it wrong.

@ BenzoAMG, thank you alot! I'll test the code out.

@ iZN, I'm not after getting the camera angle coords but thanks anyways

It's a tricky one to explain
