Downloading Screen

[Controlled]

How can one make it so in the "Downloading Map" screen when you connect to a server, it has the camera on a certain spot. I have seen it in other servers and looks cool.

I haven't found anything on how to do this though so If you know could ya please help me out?

These?

setCameraMatrix 
  
textCreateDisplay 
textCreateTextItem 
textDisplayAddObserver 
textDisplayRemoveObserver

Would all I need "setCameraMatrix"?

I don't need any text really, just something for people to see while downloading

I guess if you can make a random matrix camera for the server place's it would be nice until the player finish the download .

Server side:

  
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", root, 
function() 
    setCameraMatrix(source, 936.33, -1707.76, 88.23, 940.26, -1534.05, 79.07) 
    showPlayerHudComponent(source,"all",false) 
    showChat(source,false) 
end 
) 
  

The 'source' in setCameraMatrix is the local player basically, the first three coordinates is the position of the camera (x,y,z) the last three coordinates is the target of the camera (x,y,z)

The target generally is only a few inches further in the direction that you're looking at.

I tried that and it seemed not to make a difference. my screen was still black

try putting in fadeCamera

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
     -- slowly fade the camera in to make the screen visible 
     fadeCamera(source, true, 5) 
     -- set the player's camera to a fixed position, looking at a fixed point 
     setCameraMatrix(source, 1468.8785400391, -919.25317382813, 100.153465271, 1468.388671875, -918.42474365234, 99.881813049316) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin) 

I used that example and it made no difference, it was just a black screen.

Bump?

Are you sure there is no other code which fades the camera out?

addEventHandler( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
function() 
    setCameraMatrix( 953, -1922, 7, 953, -1892, 4 ) 
    setCameraTarget( getLocalPlayer() ) 
    fadeCamera( true, 0.1 ) 
end )
