Avoid camera "auto point" to ped

[julionib]

My problem:

 

Use custom cam to aim and set targets but need to avoid the auto-lock feature that we have when the player is unarmed

 

if we use in the tick player.character.task.clearall we avoid this, the problem is that i have tasks that must still when aim is down (TASK_PLAY_ANIM_SECONDARY_UPPER_BODY)

 

one solution is give an object to player, but then we need to avoid the aim animations and make sure that player have the object

 

 

 

one detail: i cant use mouse movements to set new camera angles because when player releases aim the game camera can have very different angle if compared to last custom cam angle.

 

 

also if someone knows how to use this method in all gta versions, it should fix my issue

 

SET_GAME_CAM_PITCH

 

it always set to 0, dont matter what kind of value we set on that, this is how it seems to be usd based on SCOCL:

 

 

SET_GAME_CAM_PITCH( 10.00000000 );

idk would this help...

 

 

Private Sub SetRotateCam(ByRef rotVect As Vector3)       If pointedRotCam Is Nothing Then : Dim pc As Ped = Player.Character : Dim gc As Camera = Game.CurrentCamera           pc.Visible = False : oldPedHead = pc.Heading : oldPitch = gc.Rotation.X           Native.Function.Call("SET_GAME_CAM_HEADING", 0) : Native.Function.Call("SET_GAME_CAM_PITCH", oldPitch)           Wait(50) : pointedRotCam = New Camera : pointedRotCam.TargetPed(pc)           pointedRotCam.FOV = gc.FOV : pointedRotCam.Position = gc.Position           pointedRotCam.Rotation = gc.Rotation : pointedRotCam.Activate()       End If : Dim gm As base.Mouse = Game.Mouse       Dim mmove As Drawing.PointF = New Drawing.PointF(gm.Movement.X * rotChangeVal, gm.Movement.Y * rotChangeVal)       If Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.SeekCover) Then           rotVect += New Vector3(mmove.Y, mmove.X, 0)       Else           rotVect += New Vector3(mmove.Y, 0, mmove.X)       End If   End Sub   Private Sub DoAimMove()       If Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.Aim) Then : Dim pc As Ped = Player.Character : Player.WantedLevel = 0           If GetWeaponType(pc.Weapons.CurrentType) <> WeaponTypes.Melee Then               If Game.isGameKeyPressed(GameKey.Action) Then                   Select Case spawnType                       Case SpawnTypes.Objects : SetRotateCam(aimRotation)                       Case Else : aimHeadOffset += 90 : If aimHeadOffset >= 360 Then aimHeadOffset = 0                   End Select               Else : DeactivateRotateCam() : End If

thx

 

i guess that wont work because of the use of SET_GAME_CAM_PITCH

 

i will do some tests with the native listed in the end of your post, maybe the SET_CHAR_NEVER_TARGETTED can be used to make all peds around(15) (for example) be not targeted

[julionib]

thats nice, its working:

 

 

       If bAimDown Then           For Each p As Ped In World.GetPeds(Player.Character.Position, 15)               If Exists(p) AndAlso Not aimlockAvoidList.Contains(p) Then                   aimlockAvoidList.Add(p)                   Native.Function.Call("SET_CHAR_NEVER_TARGETTED", p, True)               End If           Next       End If

 

 

now its just use an timer to avoid over processing and use a timer to remove the property when ped gets away from player

 

 

thx again

[AgentWD40]

nice dude, glad you found out a way to do it.

 

 

GTA.Native.Function.Call("ALLOW_LOCKON_TO_RANDOM_PEDS", Player.Character, 1);GTA.Native.Function.Call("ALLOW_LOCKON_TO_FRIENDLY_PLAYERS", Player.Character, 1);

 

 

your halk mod looks like fun too, cant wait

[julionib]

lol, i think that i tested this last two methods, cant remember now, i will test again, if they work i can avoid that big code ^^

[julionib]

yep, those last two dont work, at least in patch 1.0.7.0, didnt tested in older patchs

one more to throw at ya maybe others might need it as well

 

 

DISABLE_PLAYER_LOCKON(GET_PLAYER_ID(), true);

 

[julionib]

yep, i tryed this one too

[nixolas1]

I'm guessing all/most of those are for MP lock-on / xbox-controller lock-on.
