Camera movment suggestion !!!

General Dragosh · Post by **General Dragosh** » 2007-10-17 13:57

If anyone played COD4 demo knows what im talking about..............if its not been suggested before !

My idea (of some sort) is to add more camera movement to the soldier while he is walking, sprinting, reloading..........

Like in COD4..................and i found out that in AIX they have made a custom animation for the minigun (i think) since the camera moves downleft a bit when u sprint with the minigun........!

That would add to realism, and mabye remove the insta prone head shot...

Head Bouncing/bobbing/shake/wobble/wobbling

Thats whats listed in the Do not Suggest suggestions thread. Its in red too, meaning hardcoded.

Make sure you search that thread before you post a suggestion, k?

Im going to lock. If they marked it as hardcoded, Im sure they have exhausted all available options in their eyes.

*grumble grumble*

Thanks sicario, we'll see where this goes. Its in already suggested suggestions(a pretty exhaustive list of various wobbles and bobs, which makes me think they're not looking for any suggestions on any sort of head movement

), but maybe there has been some advances discovered by AIX that can be used seeing as its the same engine.

We'll leave it open for now and see if it gets anywhere, or a DEV gives input.

I was going to suggest something like this.

I would love to see the minigun running animation from AIX in PR.

how much work will this need? because is a really neat feature to have.

Heya guys, I did the minigun animations in AIX. Its pretty easy to achieve, but it is a MASSIVE undertaking if you were to add it to every weapon and item in a kit. Its a simply case of animating the camerabone for the run and sprint animations.

I originally had nearly every item and weapon with the "head weave" animation, but the majority of the testers did not approve as I think i may have made the sway a little to much and made them all sea sick! lol
It would work if it were more subtle, but as I said it is a massive undertaking to do them all and I ran out of time before AIX 1.0 came out. Its definitely a do-able feature though

yeah...maybe more of an up down effect?
i think the left-right thing isnt correct
if you go out and jog, you'll notice especially things in your peripheral vision scoot up and down...maybe a little left/right...not so much things farther away.

but seriously, i'm sick and bored of just cruisin around a map like a car.

It will also help decrease awareness while running, as you wont simply be able to spot movement while running and KNOW that its an enemy, since your whole screen will be moving.

Im liking this!

Wasn´t there a discussion about how the weapons were so accurate people just proned and shot? Maybe this effect would stop them from noticing the guy as fast and just proning....

Yeah, thats what id hope for. Right now, while running, you have crystal clear vision.

wow, is the he saying that weapon sway when walking is possible??? We have to get this!!!

Sounds pretty good, get it in there if it's possible, and i do believe it will give the advantage defending players should get while defending.

is not a wapon sway , is a effect in the camera when you run .

Yeah, and it sounds like it'll achieve partly the same concept but BETTER, because the actual whole screen will be shifting, right? Or does it simply shift down, and hold that position while running? I'll have to load up AIX and see for myself later...
