PointEntity()

[gordonramp]

Well I found this command and it looks like it will do what I want which is to have an object face the camera when I'm moving around in fp mode. Say, a character watching you. Something like...

 

PointEntity(character, camera, 3, 1, 0)

 

The thing is, I'm not sure how to go about setting this up.

Do I place the code in the Character's class file, or in the fp main loop?

If you are having it point to the camera, which you can get anywhere with fw.main.camera I think, then you can put it in the characters class file.

Thanks, I'll give it a try.

Update: It can't be something as simple as placing

 

PointEntity(character,fw.main.camera, 3, 1, 0)

 

in the class file because I get an 'Access Violation' error.

Finally I got this sorted. This class file will point a stationary character at the camera.

require("scripts/class")

local class=CreateClass(...)

 

function class:CreateObject(model)

local object=self.super:CreateObject(model)

 

function object:Update()

self.model:Point(fw.main.camera, 3, 1, 0)

end

end
