Anonymous — Tue, 10 May 2016 02:21:52 GMT

hello i am trying to change the camera position in basic project F2mode by useing player_hud UI,

i set two button, one is for camera1 and another is for camera3 in template_hud.2sd

i changed each handler.lua like this

and then i added lines in PlayerHud.lua

and i added checking function in player.lua

like above, i tried to move charactor which is set to move with camera.

but i got the error about unit_index

i can know something wrong with player.lua, i hope if someone can give an advice.

Take a look atthis video, see if it helps you. It is a more straightforward way to do what I think you are trying to do.

Lemme know if this works for you.

hello paul

thank you for the advice,

i have tried with the video, but this time i am using the camera which is spawned and moves with the "character"(in basic project F2mode)

so can i reposition the character in lua?

I am not the best lua guy in the world, but i can show you how to do it with flow.

Open up the character unit and go into its flow.

In there you can use Set Mover Position

In the example below t is as simple as it gets but shows that it is as easy as that.

You would just need to get the messages from scaleform to set the mover position to the location(s) of your choosing.

Working from my tutorial, you can see how i have adjusted the level flow here... (basically just removed stuff)

and then i just call the scaleform events within the unitflow as i did above.... only now im pointing the buttons to the locations instead of using a simple mouseclick.
