First Person Script Help

[Greenie0101]

function firstPerson(player) 
    x,y,z = getElementPosition(player) 
    rx,ry,rz = getElementPosition(player) 
    setCameraMatrix(player1,x,y,z + 1,rx + 1,ry,rz) 
    resetTime = setTimer (firstPerson, 100, 0, player) 
end 
addCommandHandler("fp", firstPerson) 

Made this script to make a first person camera but i cant make the camera follow the player as the console has a seizure and gives me lots of errors. How to fix? Also after this ill have the problem of needing to move the players vision with the mouse. How can i make that work? And how to make it so that the camera is facing ahead of the player.

This is a server sided script?

You should make a client side script which updates camera onClientPreRender.

You should make a client side script which updates camera onClientPreRender.

Try this:

function firstPerson() 
    x,y,z = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    rx,ry,rz = getElementPosition(localPlayer) 
    setCameraMatrix(x,y,z + 1,rx + 1,ry,rz) 
end 
addCommandHandler("fp", function() 
    addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,firstPerson) 
end) 

BTW, I suggest getting the player's bone position:

getPedBonePosition

awesome, that worked well. now i need to figure out how i can make the head turn with the mouse

setPedLookAt

Instead, create a object, move it on prerender, moving the mouse moves the object. and have the lookat (ped and camera) point towards the object.

i have got it to work now but its sketchy as! Instead of making an object ive just been using the cursors position. I think making an object would work much better, how do i do this though? (not the making the object, the making it move with the mouse) heres what ive got.

function firstPerson() 
    x,y,z = getPedBonePosition(localPlayer, 7) 
    showCursor(true, false) 
    s1,s2,cx,cy,cz = getCursorPosition(localPlayer) 
    setCameraMatrix(x,y,z,cx,cy,cz) 
    setPedLookAt(localPlayer,cx,cy,cz,-1) 
end 
addCommandHandler("fp", function() 
    addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,firstPerson) 
end)

onClientMouseMove, move the object. Then in the onClientPreRender, do this:

  
local ox, oy, oz = getElementPosition(object) 
setCameraMatrix(x,y,z, ox, oy, oz) 
  

[Greenie0101]

function firstPerson() 
    rx,ry,rz = getElementRotation(localPlayer) 
    screenX, screenY = guiGetScreenSize () 
    x,y,z = getPedBonePosition(localPlayer, 7) 
    showCursor(true, false) 
    s1,s2,cx,cy,cz = getCursorPosition(localPlayer) 
    setCameraMatrix(x,y,z,cx,cy,cz,ry,180) 
    setPedLookAt(localPlayer,cx,cy,cz,-1) 
    if s1>0.55 then 
        setCursorPosition(screenX/2 + 20, screenY/2) 
    end 
    if s1<0.45 then 
        setCursorPosition(screenX/2 - 20, screenY/2) 
    end 
    if s2>0.55 then 
        setCursorPosition(screenX/2, screenY/2 + 20) 
    end 
    if s2<0.45 then 
        setCursorPosition(screenX/2, screenY/2 - 20) 
    end 
end 
addCommandHandler("fp", function() 
    addEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,firstPerson) 
end) 

this works but i need to make a function so i can go back to normal camera by typing /tp

i also would like to know how to make the cross hairs appear when i right click

[Al3grab]

addCommandHandler("tp", function() 
    removeEventHandler("onClientPreRender",root,firstPerson) 
    setCameraTarget(localPlayer,localPlayer) 
end) 
  

You can't use gta crosshair while using setCameraMatrix , you will need to make your own

thanks mate,works fine now. I'll figure out something for cross hairs. If anyone can help me there though would be appreciated

Find a image on the internet.

Create the crosshair using gui image functions (easier) or dxDrawImage (more expansible)
