Moving camera

[Kaldrick]

Hello. I have one small question. I was using iPhoneJoypadEmulation2 code to make my own little camera and character movement. With few changes I managed to make it always face -z axis, and that character is automatically moving forward, and can't really move back. But he can slow down - and I'd wish to move camera back, when he does. This is a sample code I use:

Code: Select all

        object.matchTranslation ( hObject, hDynObj, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.translate ( hObject, 0, 4.2, 3.5, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.translate (hDynObj, 0, 0, -0.1, object.kGlobalSpace)
        local x,y,z = object.getTranslation ( hDynObj, object.kGlobalSpace )
        local w,b,d = object.getTranslation ( hObject, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.resetRotation ( hObject, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.setRotation ( hObject, -30, this.nAngleY ( ), 0, object.kGlobalSpace )
        object.rotate ( hObject, this.nAngleX ( ), 0, 0, object.kLocalSpace )

Any help?

You can just parent the camera to the character. That is the simplest way. That way it will move where ever the character does.

And how to do so? ;P
