Hi all,

I just started playing around with some of the 3D elements in Construct. Very cool! Anyways, I am having trouble with the camera when alternating between first person and top down. I opted to make a video in order to explain my problem: youtu.be/v5izyyDeg-4

Basically, I want the player object's angle to face towards the direction of the crosshair when exiting the 3D view. And the crosshair/3Dcamera to aim in the direction the player is facing when switching back from 2D to 3D and follow the mouse from that position when moving it. My explanation is probably terrible. That is why I made the video.

Keep in mind that I just started exploring the 3D in Construct so I am a newb and still learning how everything work.

My .c3p file is available here: hgwd.net/demo/3d-demo.c3p

Demo can be played here: hgwd.net/demo/play

Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Right. Just no decimals for the imagepoints then. Thank you.

Amazing, I can work with this 100%!

Would you recommend rounding the player co-ordinates like this?

round(Player.ImagePointX("Aim_Center"))+100*cos(a)

round(Player.ImagePointY("Aim_Center"))+100*sin(a)

I was still seeing a bit of jerkiness, but 90% less. So I added the rounding and repositioned some of the objects to x, y integers and as far as I can tell that eliminates the jerkiness. Except for the player, since the player's x position is never set to a round number. I'll continue testing and tweaking after work tonight.

I'm very grateful, thank you Dop!

Edit:

Also, first time using the MoveTo behavior. I'll read the docs and play around with it. Seems like it could be super useful.

I made a breakthrough. It's still pretty broken, but I should be able to figure things out.

looks like a mix of Contra and Rush'n Attack !

Haha yes sir! Actually, it's a hybrid of the original Metal Gear games and Contra with some others thrown in the mix Rush'n Attack being one of them. All the assets will be modified. I'm working on the gameplay and the overall mechanics of the game first. Many of the assets are already originals.

Here is more gameplay.

Hi Allan, thank you for your reply. I don't know why the links don't work? They work fine when I paste them in the URL bar.

Indeed, pretty sure I will have to use clamp to stop it from going under the HUD. But, I need to resolve my main issue first which is moving the cursor all over the viewport and making sure it follows the player.
