Quacker Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 What would be sweet is to be able to click on any unit, and play that unit in FPS style. Fight his battles, etc. Just have a button on that unit to FP view him, then a hot key to go back (a non-changeable hotkey, so the player doesn't get stuck in that view). What if the soldier/person dies? Just zoom back to "god" view.Just a thought... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aeros Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 For a scenario that would be awesome For in-game it wouldn't be used at all if you want to win the game.I remember in EE me and The Scout made a FPS style "sniper wars" thing which was very awesome. We had the camera track and center on the sniper and everything was in 3rd person view. Very neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Avenger Posted September 26, 2003 Report Share Posted September 26, 2003 You know, if the engine is designed to accept such a thing, it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd think. (go prove me wrong, then. ) It's a simple matter of modified track camera plus zoom in. It'd be wonderful for scenarios, certainly. Maybe real games if you are ten seconds from winning.

Esus Posted September 28, 2003 Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Im doing something like this for project scorch. Not sure exactly how its going to work, I dont think you'll have complete control over the unit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacker Posted September 28, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2003 Yeah, if you just zoomed the camera to that persons viewpoint, it wouldn't work, as right-click movement (or however 0ad will do it) just doesn't work out (pitch/zoom AoM to a units' viewpoint, it doesn't quite work out. It would only work like a normal FPS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
