get_angle in Mode 8
Hello everyone!
I want the m8-camera facing a process, but it didn't work. Is this not possible in mode 8 or am I doing something wrong?
angle = get_angle(...)
Should also be working for the m8 cam, right?
This is what I want to do:
in my game is a tower and I want a short sequenz where the camera is going higher, thenfacing the middle of the tower and fly 360° around it, then
flying back to the original position.

Hello,
Yes it is possible but with the use of more commands,
Open the DIV help with F1, look for the start_mode8 function and load the example it shows as code, run it and observe the environment, then study the
commands it uses:
| Code: |
if(key(_right)) angle -= 5000; end
if(key(_left)) angle += 5000; end
if(key(_up)) advance(24); end
if(key(_down)) advance(-9); end
if(key(_q)) z += 16; end
if(key(_a)) z -= 16; end
if(key(_w)) m8.angle += 8; end
if(key(_s)) m8.angle -= 8; end
|
left / right = control the angle of the camera in the vertical axis (for the observer it is equivalent to turning on himself 360 ° inside a room for
example)
up / down = control the distance of the camera from the focal point (for the observer it is equivalent to approaching or moving away from a wall of a
room we are observing for example)
q / a = controls the height of the camera (for the observer this is the same as looking at the room from the floor, climbing a ladder or bending over
his knees for example)
w / s = controls the angle or point of view of the camera (for the observer it is equivalent to looking at the environment of a room by lowering or
raising his eyes, neck or both)
By combining these variables / functions appropriately you can simulate the effect you are looking for, a great start is to imagine one of the pillars
of the external structure of the example as the tower, then use the commands to walk around it, go up / down, etc .. .

I wanted to use xadvance (like in the wld_view example when pressing Alt+left/right) while at the same time the cam is looking at on point, so that
you can see the tower in my game from all sides.

It works! The camera now flies a perfect circle around the (not yet finished) tower. 
The get_id was above LOOP, now below LOOP and it works.
