First First Person Camera

[fumanshoo]

I know that this is a really noob question, but I am extremely new to programming in general and I've been pretty closely following Jorn theunissen's videos, specifically this one...

and after following the tutorial, everything worked until I "attached" the 1st person camera. So far, I've got the camera where it's supposed to be this far into the tutorial, but it wont stop spinning to the left. If anyone would be willing to explain why this is happening and how I can fix it, it would be much appreciated.

 

errr, I don't think my attachment properly uploaded... here's what I've written...

 

 

require("Scripts/constants/engine_const")

 

COLLISION_CHARACTER=1

 

RegisterAbstractPath("")

 

Graphics(800,600)

 

fw = CreateFramework()

 

camera = fw.main.camera

camera:SetPosition(Vec3(3,2,-10))

 

light = CreateDirectionalLight()

light:SetRotation(Vec3(45,45,0))

 

scene = LoadModel("abstract::GeneralVisualizationoftheSlums.gmf")

scene:SetCollisionType(1)

scene:SetRotation(Vec3(0,90,0))

 

controller = CreateController(1.8,0.3,0.5 , 45)

controller:SetMass(10)

controller:SetCollisionType(COLLISION_CHARACTER)

controller:SetPosition(camera)

controller:Move(Vec3(0,1,0))

 

DebugPhysics(1)

 

MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2)

camRotation = Vec3(0)

dx = 0.0

dy = 0.0

 

strafe = 0

move = 0

 

while KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)==0 do

 

gx=Curve(MouseX()- GraphicsWidth()/2,gx,3.0/AppSpeed())

gy=Curve(MouseY()- GraphicsWidth()/2,gx,3.0/AppSpeed())

MoveMouse(GraphicsWidth()/2,GraphicsHeight()/2)

camRotation.x = camRotation.x + gx / 8

camRotation.y = camRotation.y - gy / 8

camera:SetRotation(Vec3(camRotation.x,camRotation.y,1))

 

move = Curve( (KeyDown(KEY_W)-KeyDown(KEY_S)) * 5, move , 3 )

strafe = Curve( (KeyDown(KEY_D)-KeyDown(KEY_A)) * 5, strafe , 3 )

 

controller:Update(0, move, strafe, jump, 25 , 10)

 

fw:Update()

 

camera:SetPosition(Vec3( controller.position.x, controller.position.y, controller.position.z ))

 

fw:Render()

 

Flip(0)

end

ahhh, sorry for that, I found my flaw. I forgot to change GraphicsWidth to GraphicsHeight, sorry guys!

Itsamazing how often the answer comes to you by simply asking the question,even when noone has answered.

Happens a lot with me.

That is so true cassius

It made me look at it outside of the editor heh. It was amazing how instantly it came to me though! ... although there are still a few tweaks I have to make to perfect this. For example, the camera moves at an angle instead of normally but i'm sure i'll figure it out.
