Matrix cams

[CapY]

Well i have a problem with switching matrix cams .

local matrixCams = { 
--{camX,camY,camZ,sthZ,distance} 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 38.188, 200, 400}, --LS 
    {2052.229, 1559.058, 10.671, 125, 200}, --LV 
    {-1856.736, 807.699, 112.546, 300, 250},  --SF 
} 
  
function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setTimer(matrixCams,5,5) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),setCameraOnPlayerJoin) 
  

Error on line 11.

EDIT: This is just a part of the code.

5?

Minimum timer time interval is 50.

local matrixCams = { 
--{camX,camY,camZ,sthZ,distance} 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 38.188, 200, 400}, --LS 
    {2052.229, 1559.058, 10.671, 125, 200}, --LV 
    {-1856.736, 807.699, 112.546, 300, 250},  --SF 
} 
  
function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setTimer(matrixCams,50,5) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),setCameraOnPlayerJoin)

Where are matrixCams defined ?

EDIT:Doesnt work.

Error on line 2.

Are you f*cking kidding me?

It's your code, and you said it's not the full one, are you high?

[Aibo]

matrixCams is a table, not a function, you can't call it with a timer.

JR10: you haven't copied the full code in your post, missed the "local matrixCams = {" declaration.

Yes i know i can't call a table because i'm trying to fix it , but i don't know how .

[JR10]

JR10: you haven't copied the full code in your post, missed the "local matrixCams = {" declaration.

Yea, just noticed that.

Edited September 11, 2011 by Guest

[CapY]

Then edit the code, if you can.

[JR10]

It won't work either, because you still trying to call a table.

Should be a function for getting data and setCameraMatrix.

[CapY]

Sincerely i dont know what i did on switchMatrixCams , because i dont know which function i must use .

function switchMatrixCams(old,new) 
local matrixCams = { 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 38.188, 200, 400}, --LS 
    {2052.229, 1559.058, 10.671, 125, 200}, --LV 
    {-1856.736, 807.699, 112.546, 300, 250},  --SF 
} 
end 

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setTimer(switchMatrixCams,50,5) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),setCameraOnPlayerJoin) 

Anyone can help ?

[BinSlayer1]

so switchMatrixCams is called 5 times every 50 ms..

So what do you expect the script to do? Everytime it's called, a table of matrixes will be created..

This is non-sense..

Below code should work, however you do not specify LookAt 3rd argument so I dont know how good this will look

  
local matrixCams = { 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 38.188, 200, 400}, --LS 
    {2052.229, 1559.058, 10.671, 125, 200}, --LV 
    {-1856.736, 807.699, 112.546, 300, 250},  --SF 
} 
function switchMatrixCams() 
     local rand = math.random(1, #matrixCams) 
     local x,y,z, lx, ly = unpack(matrixCams[rand]) 
     setCameraMatrix(x,y,z, lx,ly) 
end 
  
function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setTimer(switchMatrixCams,50,5) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false ) 
    end 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),setCameraOnPlayerJoin)

Sometimes camera switch for 10 secs , sometimes for 1 minute and cameras doesn't go one after the other.

local matrixCams = { 
    --{positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov} 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 138.188, 200, 400, 102,0,180}, --LS

     setCameraMatrix(positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov)

[qaisjp]

Can you explain what the function unpack does? I am not sure

[JR10]

local table = { posX , posY , posZ } 
  
local posX , posY , posZ = unpack ( table ) 

Unpacks the table, a table have x, y, z coordinates.

you can do: x, y, z = unpack(table)

local matrixCams = { 
    --{positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov} 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 138.188, 200, 400, 102,0,180}, --LS 
    {2052.229, 1559.058, 20.671, 125, 200, 101, 0, 150}, --LV 
    {-1856.736, 807.699, 115.546, 300, 250,99.98, 70, 90},  --SF 
    {1468.8785400391, -919.25317382813, 100.153465271, 1468.388671875, -918.42474365234, 99.881813049316,0,180}--Vinewood Sign 
} 
 local index = 1 
function switchMatrixCams() 
     local positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov = unpack(matrixCams[index]) 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setCameraMatrix(positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov) 
     setTimer(switchMatrixCams,10000,1) 
     index = index + 1 
     if index > #matrixCams then 
         index = 1 
     end 
    end 
end 
  
function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false )

try to use this

dat1 ={"1614.837","2052.229"}         --   x cordinates for each location 
dat2 ={"-1301.275","1559.058"}              -- y cordinates for each location  
dat3 ={}                                             --- z cordinates for each one  
dat4 ={}                                              -- and so on  
dat5 ={} 
dat6 ={} 
dat7 ={} 
dat8 ={} 

and then

local rand = math.random(1, #dat1) 

and then

setCameraMatrix(dat1[rand],dat2[rand],dat3[rand],dat4[rand],dat5[rand],dat6[rand], dat7[rand], dat8[rand]) 

[karlis]

try to use this

dat1 ={"1614.837","2052.229"}         --   x cordinates for each location

and then

local rand = math.random(1, #dat1) 

and then

setCameraMatrix(dat1[rand],dat2[rand],dat3[rand],dat4[rand],dat5[rand],dat6[rand], dat7[rand], dat8[rand]) 

it is correct, except #dat1, you need to specify the count of tables elsewhere...

[CapY]

One more problem , when a click on a play button i play normally , but after 10 seconds setCameraMatrix continue to work..

After gui click matrixCamera needs to be stopped, anybody can help ?

NOTE:This is just a part of the code:

local matrixCams = {

[JR10]

What is this.

killTimer on function.

And exactly when the function starts.

local matrixCams = { 
    --{positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov} 
    {1614.837, -1301.275, 138.188, 200, 400, 102,0,180}, --LS

} 
 local index = 1 
function switchMatrixCams() 
     local positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov = unpack(matrixCams[index]) 
     if getCameraMatrix() then 
     setCameraMatrix(positionX,positionY,positionZ,lookAtX,lookAtY,lookAtZ, roll, fov) 
     camTimer = setTimer(switchMatrixCams,10000,1) 
     index = index + 1 
     if index > #matrixCams then 
         index = 1 
     end 
    end 
end 
  
  
function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Button1[1],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn2[2],camTarget, false ) 
     addEventHandler("onClientGUIClick", Btn3[3],camTarget, false ) 
     switchMatrixCams ( ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientResourceStart",getResourceRootElement(getThisResource()),setCameraOnPlayerJoin) 
  
function stopCamSwitch ( ) 
killTimer ( camTimer ) 
end 

Use stopCamSwitch to stop camera switching.

[CapY]

Doesnt works.

[50p]

Doesnt works.

Use stopCamSwitch to stop camera switching.

[CapY]

Use stopCamSwitch to stop camera switching.

Well ..you already did it in the script .

[JR10]

I just added the function, you must trigger it.

[CapY]

From a server side ?

[Castillo]

By trigger I guess he meant, use, example via command, event handler, whatever you want.
