You and everyone else on the boards, dude.

Easy solution: have the arrow keys move your camera.

Hard solution: make a bunch of squares that check to see if the camera is too close to a wall and move it backward.

Okay, easy solution it is.....but how do I do that? I have the camera's vehicle as the gun.... I use Alice 2.2

Create an event that says "let the arrow keys move the camera".

Be warned, however, that the camera can still slip through tiny cracks.

Also, it can move like a ghost backwards still.

All right, then can some one explain to me the hard way?

I would like to help, as this is one of my expertises here on the Alice forums, however I cannot spend a lot of time explaining because I have to leave very soon, so I have to be a hypocrite and say: look at my maze world.

Lol, I always get mad at people when they say to just look at their example worlds, but in this case I am hoping it might help a little more. Look for the "collision detection" method. All of the walls (squares) where you want the collisions to take place have to be facing outwards towards the person (so the front of the wall always has to be facing out). The link to my maze program is in my signature below.

Setting the arrow keys to move the camera really would be a lot easier. Just set the camera's vehicle to the world, and the gun's vehicle to the camera, and you will be all set, but if you feel that you want a little more freedom in your collision, you can try my way. I have to warn you though it will be confusing and may take a few hours to complete.

Put every time I do that (guns vehicle to camera) there is an error

Dameria · 10-13-2010, 04:09 PM

Thats probably because your camera is already vehicle to your gun, and you are moving the gun. Making the gun vehicle to the camera while the camera is already vehicled to the gun would not make sense if you think about it.

What you have to do is make your camera vehicle to the world first, then make your gun vehicle to the camera, then change your movements so that the camera is moving and not the gun. Is that better or is there still an error?

No it doesn't work.
