hey everyone,
i need little help in answering those questions regarding cryengine3 / flow graph:

1. is it possible to control player rotation (eg. rotate him in 45deg but smoothly, with animation, just like by moving mouse horizontaly) via flow graph? If it is possible, can I ask 4 a hint how to achieve this?

2. same as 1. but about position? I've managed to change player position, but he didn't walk to desired location, but just hmm floats there... I wish that he would walk to specific point.

3. Is it possible to animate camera movement in realtime? For example: I would like to create an isometric camera that will follow my player and on specified action i would like to change camera from default first person to an isometric one. Can it be done with some sort of animation? Again it would be great if I could do it via flowgraph.

4. I was wondering if is it possible to make an interactive surface on an object in which player could interact? For example an interactive table which displays some interface (best if it would be scaleform gfx). If it can be done, please tell me a way to align scaleform to surface of an object.

I would really appreciate any answers for those questions. Sorry if I asked for something really stupid or impossible. I am really new here...

regards,
marr

4. CryEngine3 Scaleform GFx Entity Tutorial

Thanks 4 the reply Lavizh. I've watched that tutorial and it was pretty amazing, but I still do not know how to interact with it - will it still respond to the mouse events in particular?

Still I would be happy if someone smart could answer my other questions...

Like in GTA ? If so press F1 ingame

not quite ceylonfarmer. I wish more likely to create some sort of a RTS camera and then tween the view from first person camera to that RTS-style camera. I don't know how to explain it better

You mean like in GTA or something?Well i did find a tutorial on how to make a RTS game viewtopic.php?f=291&t=85347 .I am sure that you will find something

oh well, maybe like in gta (but more far away ), but I'm wondering if it possible to tween from one camera to another? I am curious if it possible to place the second camera in exact same position as first person camera, on specified action switch view to that "second" camera and from now on move it to desired location and somehow make it follow the player or something.


EDIT: Thanks for the update. I'll look into closely

Simultaneously ?

I think yes. I would like to do:
1. Place second camera in place of that first one (first person)
2. From keyboard input for example -> execute action (via flow graph)
3. Switch view to second camera and move and rotate it by vec 0,-10,100, while rotating it by 60% towards ground).
4. make the second camera follows player

I think its already there . Press F1 twice ingame and move the mouse a bit. I think thats what you want i guess

Not exactly, but I should achieve what I want using info from the tutorial you have provided, so thanks Anyway still my first and second questions needs answers So if anyone...

I'm wondering if it would be better to remove player and manipulate the camera itself (than player mentioned in 1&2 ). I am afraid only on collision checking etc.

Welcome i will try answering your other questions

You can switch to 3rd person view by pressing F1 in keyboard while ingame then move your mouse ent voila

Yeah, I know it already, but it wont suit my needs in particular. I'm gonna create an clickable user interface and I want to control my player via mouse clicks on certain UI controls.

Then you need to learn actionscript 2.0 ,scaleform,C++ and how to animate in 3dsmax/maya if you are going to create your own animation if not find a good animator .I guess you are making a RPG eh

edit : There are some scaleform ,c++ tutorials made by richmar1 search for them in the tutorials section
