Hi all,

Is it possible to make a rotation function with the interpolate camera function for rotation the camera arround a point?
How can this be made?

Thanks,
Admigo

I don't think so. The camera only goes straight. Maybe if you use some kind of polygon structure with 4, 8, 16, .. corners it might work. Can't really tell.

So you need to move the camera pos to the corners and let the camera look at the point right?
Can i make this without timer?

You could, but it would honestly take less work to just manually move it along specified points. Otherwise, you would need to call timed functions after each completed step of the interpolate.

EDIT: There is at least one filterscript/include released that adds this functionality. Search for it.

InterpolateCameraPos(playerid, Float:FromX, Float:FromY, Float:FromZ, Float:ToX, Float:ToY, Float:ToZ, time, cut = CAMERA_CUT)

Set the time to 5000 (5 seconds) for example, then set a timer that runs in 5 seconds, that changes the coordinates to next corner and repeat till you have gone around the object? Kinda tricky and probably won't look smooth, but should work.

Would that work?

This can't really work because the interpolation starts off slowly, speeds up, then slows down toward the end, so start/end 'smoothly'. If you interpolate again, the camera will stop and slowly gain speed.
