CameraMatrix While Download

[~Air]

Hey guys,

how is it able to show a place while the player is downloading?

I got this already:

setCameraMatrix( -1360, 1618, 100, -1450, 1200, 100)

setSkyGradient( 60, 100, 196, 60, 100, 196 )

setTime(21,00)

setWeather(3)

showChat(false)

Use event "onPlayerJoin".

Remember, that you can use only server-sided function while he didn't download the client files.

And how does that work?

[Skuleris]

That works, because instead of client doing action, the server does. Client can't, because the clientside files aren't downloaded yet.(I'm not sure if onPlayerJoin is the right one, maybe onPlayerConnect)

function update() 
    setCameraMatrix(source, -1360, 1618, 100, -1450, 1200, 100) 
    showChat(source, false) 
end 
--updated as gSub told to. 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), update) 

Because the clientside isn't ready, you cant use client functions like setSkyGradient, setTime and setWeather, only server functions. Well you can, but that would set effect for every player.

Wait.. did you just add onPlayerJoin as an event? it's already added, just use

addEventHandler 

Also, you may want to use

onClientResourceStart 

if you get any bugs.

I haven't tried it yet, but I think this will stay for ever how can I cancel that, that the CameraMatrix will get removed after downloading?

You might have to edit this a little bit, but I think you got it.

  
local camID = 0 
local viewPosition = {} 
    viewPosition[1] = {369.0364074707, -2058.7250976563, 33.059700012207, 369.44738769531, -2057.8530273438, 32.79430770874} -- just an example, you can add more by copying this and change the number to a bigger one, for example 
    -- viewPosition[2] = {369.0364074707, -2058.7250976563, 33.059700012207, 369.44738769531, -2057.8530273438, 32.79430770874} 
  
local stageTime = 6500 
local fadeTime = 1000 
local fadeDelay = 0 
  
  
function showViews() 
    fadeCamera ( false, fadeTime/1000 ,0,0,0) 
    setTimer(function() 
        local camID = math.random(1,#viewPosition) 
        local camX = viewPosition[camID][1] 
        local camY = viewPosition[camID][2] 
        local camZ = viewPosition[camID][3] 
        local lookX = viewPosition[camID][4] 
        local lookY = viewPosition[camID][5] 
        local lookZ = viewPosition[camID][6] 
        setCameraMatrix(camX, camY, camZ, lookX, lookY, lookZ) 
        newView = setTimer(function() 
            showFerrisViews() 
        end, stageTime, 1) 
        fadeCamera( true, fadeTime/1000) 
    end, fadeTime+fadeDelay , 1) 
end 
  
function endViews() 
    if isTimer(newView) then 
        killTimer(newView) 
        newView = nil 
    end 
end 
  

EDIT:

Use onPlayerJoin to start the camera matrix views and use onPlayerSpawn to remove it.
