[1.12.2] [SOLVED] Rolling the camera around a point in the world


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

Hi,
This gif from a 1.7.10 mod shows the camera turning as the coaster turns. It feels like the camera is fixed onto the coaster.
It accomplished this with a coremod that inserted a GL11.rotated call at the start of orientCamera.

For some reason, trying the same thing in 1.12.2 produces this! The camera hovers above the coaster in the world regardless of its orientation.

 

I've experimented with a lot of different GL translations to replicate the first effect but it's been difficult trying to find translations that work for all camera orientations - made more difficult by those translations being relative to the screen rather than the world, so knowing where the camera should be in the world relative to the coaster is not enough.

Trying this using the CameraSetup event has the same effect as the second gif but the mouse no longer lines up with where the player is looking.


So I am hoping that anyone out there knows any of:

  • GL commands to move the camera along the world axes instead of the screen axes
  • How to convert some world coordinates to screen coordinates, so that maybe I can move the camera that way (I thought about maybe using the modelview matrix but don't know the best way to get hold of that)
  • A different method that accomplishes the original effect
  • Why the effect of added roll has changed between 1.7.10 and 1.12.2
  • The obvious answer that I've probably missed because of massive tunnel vision
  • Anything else that might help

 

Thanks for reading.

Well I figured it out; maybe this is helpful for 1.14.4 and beyond too.

Declare a Vec3d representing the offset in the world. This is how much the world will be translated around the camera.

The following statements transform that world offset into screen coordinates, so that no matter where the player is looking the camera moves by the same offset in the world.

   Vec3d alignedToYaw = rotateAroundVector(offsetVec, new Vec3d(0, 1, 0), player.rotationYaw * Math.PI / 180);
   Vec3d alignedToPitch = rotateAroundVector(alignedToYaw, new Vec3d(1, 0, 0), player.rotationPitch * Math.PI / 180);
   //Put rotation first, so it comes out, then turns at the point it came out to
   GL11.glRotatef(prevRotationRoll + (rotationRoll - prevRotationRoll) * f, 0.0F, 0.0F, 1.0F);
   GL11.glTranslated(alignedToPitch.x, alignedToPitch.y, -alignedToPitch.z);

If you swap the rotate and translate, this is effectively rotating your offset vector and you won't see a camera tilt.

rotateAroundVector is a function that takes one vector and returns the rotated vector using another vector as the axis.

You can implement your own or see an example implementation here.

    • As long as the packets you are sending aren't lost, there's nothing wrong with what you're currently doing. Although, this sounds like something that would benefit from you making your own datapack registry instead of trying to arbitrarily sync static maps. Check out `DataPackRegistryEvent.NewRegistry`.
    • Hey all, I've been working a lot with datapacks lately, and I'm wondering what the most efficient way to get said data from server to client is.  I'm currently using packets, but given that a lot of the data I'm storing involves maps along the lines of Map<ResourceLocation, CustomDataType>, it can easily start to get messy if I need to transmit a lot of that data all at once. Recently I started looking into the ReloadableServerResources class, which is where Minecraft stores its built-ins.  I see you can access it via the server from the server's resources.managers, and it seems like this can be done even from the client to appropriately retrieve data from the server, unless I'm misunderstanding.  However, from what I can tell, this only works via built-in methods such as getRecipeManager() or getLootTables(), etc.  These are all SimpleJsonResourceReloadListeners, just like my datapack entries are, so it seems like it could be possible for me to access my datapack entries similarly?  But I don't see anywhere in ReloadableServerResources that stores loaded modded entries, so either I'm looking in the wrong place or it doesn't seem to be a thing. Are packets really the best way of doing this, or am I missing a method that would let me use ReloadableServerResources or something similar?
    • Hi, everyone! I'm new to minecraft modding stuff and want ask you some questions. 1. I checked forge references and saw there com.mojang and net.minecraft (not net.minecraftforge) and as I understand it's original game packages with all minecraft logic inside including renderers and so on, right? 2. Does it mean that forge has a limited set of instruments which doesn't cover all the aspects of the game? If make my question more specific then does forge provide such instruments that allow me totally change minecraft itself, like base mechanics and etc.? Or I have to use "original game packages" to implement such things? 3. I actively learning basic concepts with forge documentation and tutorials. So in my plans make different inventory system like in diabloids. Is that possible with forge? 4. It is last question related to the second one. So how deeply I can change minecraft with forge? I guess all my questions above because of that I haven't globally understanding what forge is and how it works inside and how it works with minecraft. It would be great if you provide some links or topics about it or explain it by yourself but I guess it's to big to be explained in that post at once. Anyway, thank you all for any help!
    • Im trying add to block a hole in center, just a usual block and in center of it on up side, there is should be a hole. I tried to add it via BlockModelBuilder, but its not working. Problem is that it only can change block size outside. I tried it to do with VoxelShape and its working, but its has been on server side and looks like its just changed collision shape, but for client, there is a texture covering this hole. I tried to use: base.renderType("cutout"); and removed some pixels from texture. I thought its should work, but game optimization makes block inside looks transparent. So, only custom model?
