New Camera Options

Post by Drake Raider »

I was thinking it would be cool if gzdoom added 2 new cameras. The first is a chase cam(per say... meaning it uses the chase cam sprites/models) that is positioned inside the head of the viewing actor so that you see a view literally from the actor's eyes. The second a "Diablo-style" chase cam that centers on the player, 45 degrees from the ground at a specified distance, yet is aimed North-West regardless of the direction the player is facing. Is this possible?

The first one not. Players have no 'eyes' so the closest approximation is what first person view is.

The second is not worth it. I have seen maps that tried to emulate something similat and I found them annoying as hell.

Both of those can be simulated with ACS very easily anyway.
