New page

__NOTOC__
{{Server client function}}
This function allows you to set a player's camera to follow other elements instead. Currently supported element type is:
*[[Player]]s

==Syntax==
<section name="Server" class="server" show="true">
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool setCameraTarget ( player thePlayer [, player target = nil ] )
</syntaxhighlight>
{{OOP||[[player]]:setCameraTarget|cameraTarget|getCameraTarget}}
===Required Arguments===
*'''thePlayer:''' The player whose camera you wish to modify.

===Optional Arguments===
*'''target:''' The player who you want the camera to follow. If none is specified, the camera will target the player.
'''Note:''' setCameraTarget will behave strangely if the target you want the camera to follow is inside a vehicle that has hydraulics (upgrade id: 1087) added server sided and if the target is not you.
</section>

<section name="Client 1" class="client" show="true">
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
bool setCameraTarget ( player target )
</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
*'''target:''' The player who you want the local camera to follow.
</section>

{{New feature/item|3.0132|1.3.1|5212|
<section name="Client 2" class="client" show="true">
This syntax mantains the player targeted by the camera, but makes the camera look at the specified coordinates. It has no effect when the camera doesn't have a target.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">bool setCameraTarget ( float targetX, float targetY, float targetZ )</syntaxhighlight>

===Required Arguments===
*'''targetX, targetY, targetZ:''' The target position that you want the local camera to look at.
</section>}}

===Returns===
Returns ''true'' if the function was successful, ''false'' otherwise.

==Example==
This is an example of how one could implement a spectator function. Using the left and right arrow keys you can view other players. Note that this code isn't complete as it doesn't take into account joining or quitting players.
<section class="client" name="Client script" show="true">
<syntaxhighlight lang="lua">
g_Players = getElementsByType("player") -- get a list of all players in the server
for i,aPlayer in ipairs(g_Players) do -- find out what index the local player has in the list
if aPlayer == localPlayer then
g_CurrentSpectated = i
break
end
end

function spectatePrevious() -- decrement the spectate index and spectate the corresponding player
if g_CurrentSpectated == 1 then
g_CurrentSpectated = #g_Players
else
g_CurrentSpectated = g_CurrentSpectated - 1
end
setCameraTarget(g_Players[g_CurrentSpectated])
end

function spectateNext() -- increment the spectate index and spectate the corresponding player
if g_CurrentSpectated == #g_Players then
g_CurrentSpectated = 1
else
g_CurrentSpectated = g_CurrentSpectated + 1
end
setCameraTarget(g_Players[g_CurrentSpectated])
end

-- Bind above functions to arrow keys
bindKey("arrow_l", "down", spectatePrevious)
bindKey("arrow_r", "down", spectateNext)
</syntaxhighlight>
