Is it possible to shift the camera to the left or right? I know we can zoom.

The setcameraposition seems to move the camera and not adjust its position from the player by like an offset. Is there anyway to do this yet in Game Guru?

First time I read the thread title I thought your were complaining about the camera position ... then I saw the 'f'.

If you want to put the camera position in a specific spot wrt to the player then you just need to figure out the math. In reality you probably want to have the camera transition over time rather than simply jump from one spot to the next.

Noticed once I move the camera, it no longer moves when the player does. I'm trying to move it while in first person mode... unsure if that is possible.

Can't you just update the camera position every frame relative to the player coordinates? Or does moving the camera also update the player coordinates?

Maybe I'll have to have a play with this a bit.

Update: See attachment, press E and suddenly you are 200 units taller!

btw, what were you hoping to achieve. If you do shift the camera wouldn't it look rather strange if you are holding a weapon because I doubt the weapon moves with the camera.

Hmm, more experiments come to mind ...

--- experiment over, the weapon does move with the camera!

This is just an experimental prototype. The UI is meshed from multiple sources. But put together with various layered sprites.

I was curious about offsetting the camera so its centered on the left side of the screen. I can fix up the weapon cross hairs in the gunspecs at another time. In the event I wanted to make the windows static to the way its presented in the screenshot id need to shift the camera a bit to the left so the FOV is centered.

I'm working on a prototype game that takes from the classic dungeon crawler types from DOS and old windows/mac.

There are some CameraPanel commands, I'll experiment with those and get back to you ...

... nope, we are missing a command to shift the camera centre wrt to the screen, at the moment the camera origin is fixed to the centre of the screen, for what you want to do we need a command to specify an offset amount, or alternatively to directly specify the X,Y % screen position to use for the camera origin.

Thinking about it some more, as the commands seem to have a camera number parameter, Lee is obviously working towards multiple cameras, maybe for screen-in-screen or multiple player views. If so and as part of the DX-11 update maybe suggest to him adding extra Lua commands to directly control where the camera(s) are rendered on screen and how much of the screen to use, that way the engine doesn't have to render to parts of the screen that you are covering up with the HUD elements.

If you can drag his attention to this thread I think as soon as he sees your images he will see the potential.

Thanks for all your help!

I have far too many scripting related questions :/ I'm trying not to spam the board... cause im totally motivated with this new idea.
