Camera Control

[Natti Breen]

To quickly sum things up, I am in need of help to make a simple camera control hud. I am just not too familiar with camera control scripts to finish it. Basically this is what I need to happen:

 

1. User wears a HUD
2. HUD asks permission for camera control
3. HUD user walks around a room
4. User steps on invisible prim A
5. Camera is changed to a fixed position.
6. User steps on invisible prim B
7. Camera is changed to a different position.
8. User's camera is returned to normal when HUD is taken off.

Most of it is simple scripts, but I am currently stuck on how to set a certain camera setting via scripts.

The first example in the wiki: llSetCameraParams does have what you need
It sets the camera focus and camera position which is what you need to do

So based off of the example, the line CAMERA POSITION, camPos would be the sim coordinate of where the camera would be? And how would we set the sight direction?

[Dora Gustafson]

The camera will find the direction when you tell it what to look at, the focus point.

If you know the camera position and the camera rotation you can compute a point to look at like it is done in this example

See the second line of code from the bottom:

llSetLinkCamera( LINK_THIS, cam_pos, cam_pos + llRot2Fwd(cam_rot));

You can't use this example for your purpose because you must sit on the object for llSetLinkCamera to do any good, but you can use the way the focus point is computed from the camera rotation
