I'm making a multiplayer shooter game and added a sniper to the game. I want the camera to move away from the player depending on how far the mouse is from the player whenever they get the sniper. For some reason I can't get it right. Whenever I did get it sorta working, it would only work whenever the player was in a certain place on the map. I want it to be sorta like the one in terraria in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GqmLiupdhzw&feature=player_detailpage#t=38 . I am using ALLEGRO_TRANSFORM for the camera. Nevermind... I got it with this code:
#SelectExpand
1void UpdateCamera
(float *cameraPos, Player player
) {
2 if (player.weapon
!= SNIPER
) {
3 cameraPos
[0] = -(screenWidth
/ 2) + (int)player.x
;
4 cameraPos
[1] = -(screenHeight
/ 2) + (int)player.y
;
5 }
6 else if (player.weapon
== SNIPER
) {
7 float cameraPos2
[2];
8 cameraPos2
[0] = -(screenWidth
/ 2) + (int)player.x
;
9 cameraPos2
[1] = -(screenHeight
/ 2) + (int)player.y
;
10
11 ALLEGRO_MOUSE_STATE mouse
;
12 al_get_mouse_state(&mouse
);
13
14 cameraPos
[0] = cameraPos2
[0] + ((screenWidth
/ 2 + mouse.x
) / 2) - screenWidth
/ 2;
15 cameraPos
[1] = cameraPos2
[1] + ((screenHeight
/ 2 + mouse.y
) / 2) - screenWidth
/ 2;
16 }
17
18 if (cameraPos
[0] < 0)
19 cameraPos
[0] = 0;
20 if (cameraPos
[1] < 0)
21 cameraPos
[1] = 0;
22
23 if (cameraPos
[0] > levelWidth
- screenWidth
)
24 cameraPos
[0] = levelWidth
- screenWidth
;
25 if (cameraPos
[1] > levelHeight
- screenHeight
)
26 cameraPos
[1] = levelHeight
- screenHeight
;
27}
