Over the shoulder camera view style.

[TomPlays]

Hello, I am wondering on how I would make an over the shoulder camera view positioning thing for the character. It'd look something like this.

Of course I'd script it, but what would be the functions, etc.

Check out this example on wiki:

I haven't tried it myself, but it might do what you want(if you edit it ofcourse).

That just gets the camera, you'll want to use setCameraMatrix for something like that. Do note that it'll probably take quite a bit of math to get it the way you want.

Well this will do it, without rendering with setCameraMatrix. But aiming with the gun is kinda impossible.

local cam = getCamera() 
setElementPosition( cam, 0,0,0 ) 
attachElements( cam, localPlayer, 0.2,-2,0.8, 0,0,0 )

So, how would I set this up, very new!

Well, here's my code. I have no Idea what I'm doing btw, so if someone could help me :DD

function setCameraOnPlayerJoin() 
local cam = getCamera() 
setElementPosition( cam, 0,0,0 ) 
attachElements( cam, getLocalPlayer, 0.2,-15,0.8, 0,0,0 ) 
end 
addEventHandler("onPlayerJoin", getRootElement(), setCameraOnPlayerJoin) 

but i get error attempt to call global 'getCamera' (a nil value) on line 2

You can not use client-side only functions in a server-side script.

setCameraMatrix, getCameraMatrix, onClientMouseMove, getElementPosition, getPedBonePosition
