Need help changing camera position [Solved]

Post by asleeponduty »

I'm working on a map that involves the usage of a remote version of the autoturret which you can pilot. Unfortunately, when you get in the turret via a turretchair, you can see outside through the roof of the room while in the turret

as you can see, you can see straight through the ceiling. I would very much like to move the camera below the autoturret so you can see the turret as well, but I dont know how to do this. Could someone explain?

I don't really understand the problem (the autoturret's on the floor or the ceiling?), but I guess a helpful suggestion is to look in the turret's ODF file and find CAMERASECTION. Camera info should be there.

What I'm trying to say is the remotely piloted autoturret is on the ceiling (obviously) and when driving it you can see above the ceiling, and consequently outside the ship.
Is there a way to force first person for the turret? I'm doubting that any third person camera repositioning would work anyway (i've tried)
In other words, Ive played with CAMERASECTION a lot, and first person is the only mode that you cant see above the ceiling in.

put this line in your odf, it should force the 1stpersonview (forceode 1 is 3rdperson)

Code: Select all

ForceMode = "2"
