setCameraMatrix

I set a Camera Matrix on a selected position. My question is how can I make it move around the area?

interpolateBetween

I set a Camera Matrix on a selected position. My question is how can I make it move around the area?

interpolateBetween 

Hmm I didn't understand how to get these floats

[HunT]

Well,u can . . .

create the object

moveObject

onClientRender

getElementPosition (object)

setCameraMatrix

It's easy, or u can use interpolateBetween.

Hmm can you help me to do it?

this is the start position

    setCameraMatrix ( 2024.8813476563, 1185.5794677734, 131.04609680176 , 2025.7608642578, 1185.3765869141, 130.61557006836, 0, 70 ) 

And from here I want to to keep moving around SA no matter where

It works

One last question , how can I stop it?

[WASSIm.]

It works

One last question , how can I stop it?

stopObject 

[isa_Khamdan]

It works

One last question , how can I stop it?

stopObject 

No I mean how can I stop the whole function

removeCamHandler () 

[isa_Khamdan]

removeCamHandler () 

attemp to call global 'removeCamHandler'(a nill value)

[Castillo]

Have you defined it?

[isa_Khamdan]

Have you defined it?

It's from the function source code

local sm = {} 
sm.moov = 0 
sm.object1, sm.object2 = nil, nil 
  
local function removeCamHandler () 
    if(sm.moov == 1) then 
        sm.moov = 0 
        removeEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", getRootElement(), camRender ) 
    end 
end 
  
local function camRender () 
    local x1, y1, z1 = getElementPosition ( sm.object1 ) 
    local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition ( sm.object2 ) 
    setCameraMatrix ( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 ) 
end 
  
function smoothMoveCamera ( x1, y1, z1, x1t, y1t, z1t, x2, y2, z2, x2t, y2t, z2t, time ) 
    if(sm.moov == 1) then return false end 
    sm.object1 = createObject ( 1337, x1, y1, z1 ) 
    sm.object2 = createObject ( 1337, x1t, y1t, z1t ) 
    setElementAlpha ( sm.object1, 0 ) 
    setElementAlpha ( sm.object2, 0 ) 
    setObjectScale(sm.object1, 0.01) 
    setObjectScale(sm.object2, 0.01) 
    moveObject ( sm.object1, time, x2, y2, z2, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" ) 
    moveObject ( sm.object2, time, x2t, y2t, z2t, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" ) 
  
    addEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", getRootElement(), camRender ) 
    sm.moov = 1 
    setTimer ( removeCamHandler, time, 1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object2 ) 
    return true 
end 

That's the function I used to Remove the CamRender

function hideLoginWindow() 
    guiSetVisible(GUIEditor.window[1], false) 
    showCursor(false) 
    showChat(true) 
    showPlayerHudComponent ( "all", true ) 
    removeCamHandler () 
    setCameraTarget ( getLocalPlayer() ) 
   end 
addEvent("hideLoginWindow", true) 
addEventHandler("hideLoginWindow", getRootElement(), hideLoginWindow)

And, is it in the same script? because that function is defined as local, so it won't exist outside that file.

Yes it's in the same script.

Else I am getting problem with the source code ( after the timer finish it keep showing warnings and errors cuz the objects have been destroyed but it keep checking for their position and that's mean that the RemoveCamRender have problem)

[Castillo]

If it's the same script, then that error shouldn't happen.

[isa_Khamdan]

If it's the same script, then that error shouldn't happen.

Then how I am getting this error?

[isa_Khamdan]

I removed local and it's working now

[Castillo]

local sm = {} 
sm.moov = 0 
sm.object1, sm.object2 = nil, nil 
  
function removeCamHandler () 
    if(sm.moov == 1) then 
        sm.moov = 0 
        removeEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", getRootElement(), camRender ) 
    end 
end 
  
function camRender () 
    local x1, y1, z1 = getElementPosition ( sm.object1 ) 
    local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition ( sm.object2 ) 
    setCameraMatrix ( x1, y1, z1, x2, y2, z2 ) 
end 
  
function smoothMoveCamera ( x1, y1, z1, x1t, y1t, z1t, x2, y2, z2, x2t, y2t, z2t, time ) 
    if(sm.moov == 1) then return false end 
    sm.object1 = createObject ( 1337, x1, y1, z1 ) 
    sm.object2 = createObject ( 1337, x1t, y1t, z1t ) 
    setElementAlpha ( sm.object1, 0 ) 
    setElementAlpha ( sm.object2, 0 ) 
    setObjectScale(sm.object1, 0.01) 
    setObjectScale(sm.object2, 0.01) 
    moveObject ( sm.object1, time, x2, y2, z2, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" ) 
    moveObject ( sm.object2, time, x2t, y2t, z2t, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" ) 
  
    addEventHandler ( "onClientPreRender", getRootElement(), camRender ) 
    sm.moov = 1 
    setTimer ( removeCamHandler, time, 1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object2 ) 
    return true 
end 

Try that instead.

[isa_Khamdan]

local sm = {}

end

    local x2, y2, z2 = getElementPosition ( sm.object2 )

    moveObject ( sm.object1, time, x2, y2, z2, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" ) 
    moveObject ( sm.object2, time, x2t, y2t, z2t, 0, 0, 0, "InOutQuad" )

    sm.moov = 1 
    setTimer ( removeCamHandler, time, 1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object1 ) 
    setTimer ( destroyElement, time, 1, sm.object2 ) 
    return true 
end

It's working

Thanks

You're welcome.
