Chase Cam

2 KB, 14 years ago, submitted by Gadgethm

Ever had a desire to be the cameraman? Well now you can! With this new mod, you can follow your player at any distance, yet still keep control! Simply bind a key to this fantastic GUI, type in a number, and off you go! Why worry about your flying abilities when you can just pop in a number and get better results!*

The number 50 is equal to about half a second (however, this depends on the server's ping)

*results may vary

Ok, for those of you who don't want the advertisement version, here's a rundown: Basically, I just added a GUI to the console command gameConnection.chaseCam(number here); I also added safeties that keep you from going over 1000 and under 0 because those numbers can make Blockland crash. It is entirely client sided and will work on any server. This is my first RELEASED addon, so I would appreciate feedback. Thanks!

UPDATE/CHANGELOG: Added a few things. Cleaned up code based on last add-on review. Added a toggle ability instead of just open. Added the ability to press enter instead of the button, no need to move your mouse.

Oh wow, some of you people dont even know what this does, do you, its NOT F8. It lags your 3rd person camera behind your character to give it a cool effect.

ZSNO, I Believe the problem with these people is they don't read the Description these noobs just look at the Title, comment and then their off. Thanks for being one that reads the Description.

In vehicles (like the stunt plane or biplane) does this work like the Spitfire's (Strato's grape) in 1stperson?

GET SOME FREAKING PICTURES

darerd 14 years ago

This doesnt work for me. All it does is make the camera follow my past, by however many millisecons I put in. It doesnt just revert to normal view when the amount of time I put in is over. FUCK YOU!!!

@darerd

if it does that then you probably have other addons interfering with it, or else it really does have a problem. im sorry if its not working for you, that happens often. i get frustrated often with mods too.

you rock but can the cam record

Tehmeepzor 14 years ago

@elmo all this does is just make your camera veiw follow your player at # distance. It can't record. Ontopic: Epic, but might be used to fuck up some players (Such as the FPS player).

007jamesblockmi6 13 years ago

I added
serverconnection.chasecam(99999);
To the thingy when you press~, and it wont go away until irestart blockland, is this the samething,or is this different?

@kool kat

I don't see why the fuck you would need pictures. You shouldn't need pictures if the description clearly states what it does.

If by ChaseCam you mean follow a Blockhead around, read comment 1. If by ChaseCam you mean something else, read comment 2.

Paper Mario 13 years ago

Comment 1:
It would be like so creepy yet so funny to follow someone around all the time!!! 10/10 = A+

Paper Mario 13 years ago

Comment 2: Although I don't understand what you mean, I am curious to find out! 9/10 = A-

FirstPvtAlvin 13 years ago

Theres a console script for this. i think its setChaseCam.[something](1); but im not sure.

FirstPvtAlvin 13 years ago

Correction: setChaseCam.[something](delay);

Mr KitKat 13 years ago

Make it so it can be -1, it would work nice for walking into the sunset. :3

NomAplemNom 13 years ago

Very nice. Good for movies, such as following yourself but having it have a delay. Great job!

@tyguy- to make it stop, open the gui and enter the time as 0. the chase cam will deactivate. hope this helps!
