Camera Functions?

[Luke_Ferrara]

From Wiki:

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin()
-- slowly fade the camera in to make the screen visible
fadeCamera(source, true, 5)
setCameraInterior ( source, 18)
-- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point
setCameraMatrix(source, 181.07878112793, -88.078994750977, 1002.0307006836, 14698.388671875, -918.42474365234, 99.8818130493)
 
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin)

I am trying to set the camera towards a mirror in ZIP, however I do not understand

"lookAT" x, y and z, I tried creating an interior on interior ID 0 but the mirror becomes a window to see through...Could someone give me some guidance with camera functions...wiki doesn't explain enough

Maybe the "lookat" is the coordinates the camera will point to.

Example: You put camera on the cashier. You put lookat on the mirror, then the camera will point at the "lookat".

It can also be put like on the vehicle, ped, or player, with a xyz variable.

So lookat means you want the camera to look at a place. the lookat is the point where the camera will be facing at.

Ohhh I see, but how would you be able to get the lookat coordinates without guessing? Like how you can use resources in the community or even the admin panel to get your xyz coordinates but never the lookat coords.

You can get coords in different ways. One of them is https://community.multitheftauto.com/index.php?p= ... ils&id=124

Okay, I see how that works however what about the mirror? Any mirrors I script become see through and looks like a glassless window which kind of eliminates the point

i think you can't add mirrors other than native SA. becouse SA mirrors aren't really mirrors.. gta engine can't do that.. mirrors are just glasses, but in some interiors gta "clones" all objects behind this glass, so it looks like window. pretty stupid, huh?
