With the Mode 7 ex object I'm doing a little "for fun" fps project. The problem is I have no clue how to make the camera follow the mouse. Would anyone know how to code this using the Mode 7 ex object?
Another question- should I use the Mode 7 ex object or the Raycasting extension to make an fps?
you would be better off using the raycasting object.
you can do mouse movement in the mode7ex object like so.
you need:
-mode7ex
-mouse object
+always
-hide windows pointer
-mode7ex: set rotation( y ) angle to Rotation( "Mode 7 ex" )-(((framewidth/2)-XMouse))
-mouse object: set MouseX to MouseX( "Mouse object" )-XMouse+(framewidth/2)
-mouse object: set MouseY to MouseY( "Mouse object" )-YMouse+(frameheight/2)
As far as I know, I don't believe the raycaster extension has been released outside of Klikdisc yet, or if ever. But that'd be awesome. Or if someone could make a raycaster widget...
Cheers, Marko! It may be a while before I can start though... I got the Raycaster today, but still have absolutely no clue how to get it to work properly. A tutorial for it would be nice right about now...
Also whatever happened to Klikdisc? It just came to stop in April.
I never really understood the point of klikdisc in the first place...
I mean 10 to 15 years ago it would probably still make sense, but right now it's just a CD with mostly useless and/or uninteresting stuff in it that could simply be available for download and perhaps charged for (though honestly I never saw anything on it that I would pay for, but that's just me).
Also the decision to release the raycaster object exclusively on the klik disc is even more mystifying to me, but well he made it so he can do whatever he wants with it I guess.
