GetCameraMatrix

This function gets the position of the camera and the position of the point it is facing.

Note: The server-side version of this function returns the last camera matrix that was set by the server, and thus does not necessarily indicate the current matrix of the camera (since it may have been changed client-side).

Client

float cameraX, float cameraY, float cameraZ, float targetX, float targetY, float targetZ, float roll, float fov = getCameraMatrix ( )

Required Arguments

None.

Returns

Returns eight float numbers if the argument(s) are valid; the first three indicate the position of the camera, the next three indicate the position of the point it's facing, and the last two are the roll and FOV (field of view). Returns false if the arguments are invalid.

Example

Example 1: This clientside example moves camera +1 unit on X axis.

local x, y, z, lx, ly, lz = getCameraMatrix() -- Get the current location and lookat of camera
x, lx = x + 1, lx + 1 -- What will be the new x and x lookat values
setCameraMatrix(x,y,z,lx,ly,lz) -- Set camera to new position
