LED display. View from camera in real time on e.g. billboard

[polakg1140]

Hi. I'm the begginer in LUA, and I have a few questions about displaying previously set camera target on e.g. billboard.

Please give me some advices what functions i must use to obtain this effect.

Thing what i want to do:

• displaying previously set camera target on e.g. billboard
  
• if is possible real time changes camera target in specified time

If I use the functions listed below will be able to do something like that?

dxCreateScreenSource 

DxDrawImage 

fadeCamera 

setCameraTarget 

setTimer 

Please targeting me how to do this, because I have no idea.

Thanks in advance.

(Sorry for my english, but I write about it in my native language (Polish) forum, and Global moderator dzek (varez) told me to write here)

You should first get the position of the billboard.

Then setCameraTarget, I do not know what you mean by the second point, but I think you me so it happens realistically, if that's what you mean, then it should already do it after setCameraTarget (Remember, to be able to set Camera target as x, y ,z it must be Client Side)

use:

setCameraMatrix 

Require the X,Y,Z of the place were the camera starts, and the X,Y,Z were the billboard is.

  
function myFunction () 
end 
addEventHandler("onClientRender",root,myFunction) 
getTickCount() 

variables.....

maybe a table for the camera locations.

You don't need:

setTimer -- because you have tickCount..... 
dxCreateScreenSource -- why you need this? 
setCameraTarget -- because that isn't just going to work on objects..... 

And no I am not going to build it for you.

Okay. Thank you for help.

But how I can display it on billboard for example? I must use DxDrawImage, and then will be displaying 'SetCameraMatrix' in real time?

ScreenSource shal be used to create the texture for the billboard actually.
