cinematics

Post by supr_k9 »

In the heritic level cinematic (the very first one) can any of you please tell me what direction the camera is looking at (at the very beginning of the cinematic)

i know its coordinates but i need to know what direction it's facing

also can you tell me how you found this out? it said somewhere that it is saved in the scenarious tag but i couldnt find it. can any of you give me a hand?

also does the direction the camera is facing have anything to do with yaw, pitch, roll? if it does can you tell me the values of this at the very begining of the heritc cinematic?

thanks in advanced

i need to know the yaw pitch and roll of the camera at the very begining of the cinematic.

(i dont even know if the camera uses yaw pitch and roll... but im guessing it does)


the bsp viewer just lets me wonder around the map :(. it doesnt tell me what i need :(

(thanks for replaying though :D i appreciate it)

i believe the camera is an object in the bsp viewer. view all the spawns, and look for the camera in the area where the cinema takes place

okay i opened up the map with entity, i went to bsp viewer, i clicked on the thing that said "spawns" in the left. then i clicked on "scenery" and was able to find the camera. when i double clicked on it, it took me to the coordinates of it.

unfortunately i already know the coordinates. where does it tell me the yaw pitch and roll of it? on the status bar it told me the coordinates but tnot the yaw pitch roll thing.

thanks

it is simple, really. next time, hit the "EDIT" tab, and hit "View All Spawns".

you do not go to the "SPAWNS" tab ... <_<

is there a reason for this?

thanks
