camera_object

the methods for the camera object

set_position(x, y, z)Source

makes and changes the cameras position matrix to the given coordinates

Parameters

1. x number the x position of the camera
2. y number the y position of the camera
3. z number the z position of the camera

Returns

1. camera the used camera object used for tailing methods

set_rotation(...)Source

makes and changes the cameras rotation matrix to either euler angles or a quaternion

Parameters

1. euler_x number the rotation around the x axis in degrees
2. euler_y number the rotation around the y axis in degrees
3. euler_z number the rotation around the z axis in degrees

Or

1. quat_x number the x position of the rotation direction vector
2. quat_y number the y position of the rotation direction vector
3. quat_z number the z position of the rotation direction vector
4. vec_rot number the rotation around the direction vector in degrees

Returns

1. camera the used camera object used for tailing methods

lookat_transform(x, y, z, at_x, at_y, at_z)Source

allows you to have the camera look at specific point from a specific position

Parameters

1. x number the x coordinate of the camera
2. y number the y coordinate of the camera
3. z number the z coordinate of the camera
4. at_x number the x coordinate of the point the camera should look at
5. at_y number the y coordinate of the point the camera should look at
6. at_z number the z coordinate of the point the camera should look at
