Change camera position (help: I'm desperate :C)

[nicknico00]

Please guys HELP MEE!

 

I have been googling for days before I came here and I've tried almost everything, but I didn't find a way to change the third-person-camera position. What I want to do is to move it in front of the player's eyes, like it was in first person, being able to see the player's body. help please: I'm getting crazy  :'(

 

thank you in advance.

In 1.8 there is an event called CameraUpdateEvent. You can use that to change the position of the camera.

Unfortunately i'm in 1.7.10

Any other splution?

Y U NO UPDATE?!?!?!??!

 

Seriously tho... we alredy have peek on 1.9, and ppl are still on goddamn 1.7...

 

Solution:

You will have to replace camera entity on game startup. You can find the field in Minecraft.class and replace it with extension with changes you need.

Thank you very much!

 

I spawned a new EntityCamera that extends EntityLiving and set the renderViewEntity to this. It works!

But now the problem is: the entityCamera's position and rotation are based on player's position and rotation, and sometime, when I move my mouse to move the head in game, the camera starts spinning very fast and I can't stop it D:

Do you know what it could be?

 

And sometimes I get an error like invalid entity attacked, when I click, and it crashes.

Any idea?

 

Thank you

Your camera entity shouldn't extend EntityLiving, it should just extend Entity.

[nicknico00]

the renderViewEntity have to extend entityLivingBase, so EntityLiving is fine (better EntityFlying).

 

I fixed the first issue: my camera didn't like rotationYaw > 360 or < 0  , so I had to adjust player's rotationYaw before to use it.

Now it doesn't spin anymore .

 

The code I used:

 

Camera class

public class MAEntityCamera extends EntityFlying {

public MAEntityCamera(World p_i1595_1_) {
	super(p_i1595_1_);
}

}

 

RenderPlayerBase class (I'm using Player API)

public class MARenderPlayerBase extends RenderPlayerBase {
private MAEntityCamera camera;

public MARenderPlayerBase(RenderPlayerAPI renderPlayerAPI) {
	super(renderPlayerAPI);
}

@Override
public void renderFirstPersonArm(EntityPlayer p_82441_1_) {

	World world = Minecraft.getMinecraft().theWorld;
	EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;

	if(!(Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity instanceof MAEntityCamera))
	{
		//change renderViewEntity to camera
		if(camera != null) Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity = camera;

		else
		{
			camera = new MAEntityCamera(world);
			camera.setPositionAndRotation(player.posX, player.posY, player.posZ, player.rotationYaw, player.rotationPitch);
			world.spawnEntityInWorld(camera);

			Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity = camera;
		}
	}
}

@Override
public void renderPlayer(AbstractClientPlayer paramAbstractClientPlayer, double paramDouble1, double paramDouble2,
		double paramDouble3, float paramFloat1, float paramFloat2) {

	super.renderPlayer(paramAbstractClientPlayer, paramDouble1, paramDouble2, paramDouble3, paramFloat1, paramFloat2);

	//change renderViewEntity to player when rendering in third-person
	if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().gameSettings.thirdPersonView > 0) Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;
}
}

 

EventHandler class

public class EventHandler {

@SubscribeEvent
public void updateCamera(RenderHandEvent event) {

	if(Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity instanceof MAEntityCamera)
	{
		EntityPlayer player = Minecraft.getMinecraft().thePlayer;

		//place camera in front of players's eyes
		double distanceX = -0.4, distanceY = -0.5,  distanceZ = 0.4;
		double x = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(player.rotationYaw))  * distanceX;
		double y = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(player.rotationPitch)) * distanceY;
		double z = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(player.rotationYaw))  * distanceZ;

		//adjust rotationYaw
		if(player.rotationYaw > 360) player.rotationYaw -= 360;
		if(player.rotationYaw < 0) player.rotationYaw += 360;

		Minecraft.getMinecraft().renderViewEntity.setPositionAndRotation(player.posX + x, player.posY - 1.63 + y, player.posZ + z, player.rotationYaw, player.rotationPitch);
	}
}
}

 

It works good, but I have to optimize it because of a few problems...

For example I can't interact with the blocks i see in the center of the camera, because the player is not watching exactely there, and so i often get the error: "trying to attack an invalid entity".

 

Do you know how could I fix this?

thank you very much
