Move player camera at will

[expert975]

Is there a way to set the camera to another position other than the player's entity?

Even better if it's possible to do it on the server side.

 

Thanks.

Maxwelltalker component in the base game has some interesting lines:

--zoom in
TheCamera:SetOffset( (Vector3(self.inst.Transform:GetWorldPosition()) - Vector3(self.inst.wilson.Transform:GetWorldPosition()))*.5  + Vector3(0,2,0) )
TheCamera:SetDistance(15)
TheCamera:Snap()
GetPlayer().HUD:Hide()

 

I'm confident this is the code that sets the camera at the beginning. Reset using

TheCamera:SetDefault()

 

Also, the pig king's prefab file should help you with retrieving the camera angle, as he throws gold at the camera.
