[1.7.10] Custom camera position

[parzivail]

Is there a way to move the 3^rd person camera further back? I'm working on big vehicles right now, and they clip into the camera currently.

 

The code I've attempted is both creating an entity in-world, having it follow the player 10 blocks back (on it's LookVec), and this:

 

(assuming

mc = Minecraft.getMinecraft();

)

 

@SubscribeEvent
public void onRender(RenderGameOverlayEvent.Pre event)
{
    Vec3 vec3 = mc.thePlayer.getLookVec();
    double dx = vec3.xCoord * -10;
    double dy = vec3.yCoord * -10;
    double dz = vec3.zCoord * -10;

    mc.renderViewEntity.copyLocationAndAnglesFrom(mc.thePlayer);

    mc.renderViewEntity.posX += dx;
    mc.renderViewEntity.posY += dy;
    mc.renderViewEntity.posZ += dz;

    vec3 = null;
}

 

and both samples cause the camera to jitter back and forth between the correct player position and the new position. Any ideas or help appreciated! Thanks

There's a file somewhere called entityRenderer and in that file there's some fields called thirdPersonDistance and thirdPersonDistanceTemp. This should be enough to get you started.

 

Hint: look at the orientCamera() method too

I overwrote

mc.entityRenderer

with an extended class that had public getters and setters, and set

mc.entityRenderer

to it in the

ClientProxy

. works like a charm! Thanks.
