Spring RTS Engine

I noticed that my "go to unit" didn't work anymore. The reason is changes in GetCameraState and SetCameraState that I couldn't find in the changelog. Maybe they are listed somewhere else but I thought I just post them here anyway.

The old return value of GetCameraState was a numerically indexed table with the position and some other info.

The new return value is a table with string indices (dx, dy, dz, flipped, height, mode, name, px, py, pz, zscale).

So if you just want to go to a unit:

Code: Select all

local currentCamState = Spring.GetCameraState()
local x, y, z = Spring.GetUnitPosition(yourUnitIDHere)

currentCamState.px = x
currentCamState.pz = z

Spring.SetCameraState(currentCamState, 1)

Hope this helps anyone..

I use Spring.SetCameraTarget(x,y,z,t) to go to units. Its nice cause it doesnt change zoom level or anything, just the focal point.

Nice, didn't know about that one.. That reduces the code in the first post to:

Code: Select all

Spring.SetCameraTarget(Spring.GetUnitPosition(yourUnitIDHere))

The forth parameter doesn't seem to exist though.. And I still think that the changes in GetCameraState/SetCameraState were undocumented so this topic might still have a purpose
