Bridge camera angles or viewscreen camera angles?

FirstPersonCamera = App.PositionOrientationProperty_Create("FirstPersonCamera")

FirstPersonCameraForward = App.TGPoint3()
FirstPersonCameraForward.SetXYZ(0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000)
FirstPersonCameraUp = App.TGPoint3()
FirstPersonCameraUp.SetXYZ(0.000000, 0.000000, 1.000000)
FirstPersonCameraRight = App.TGPoint3()
FirstPersonCameraRight.SetXYZ(1.000000, 0.000000, 0.000000)
FirstPersonCamera.SetOrientation(FirstPersonCameraForward, FirstPersonCameraUp, FirstPersonCameraRight)
FirstPersonCameraPosition = App.TGPoint3()
FirstPersonCameraPosition.SetXYZ(0.000000, 3.834180, 0.373048)
FirstPersonCamera.SetPosition(FirstPersonCameraPosition)
App.g_kModelPropertyManager.RegisterLocalTemplate(FirstPersonCamera)

Or am I just way off?
(From Galaxy.py)

Yeah, but there's actually a whole other set that actually says 'viewscreen' instead of just fps. Here's the whole thing. Its from SNSGalaxy.py

ViewscreenForward = App.PositionOrientationProperty_Create("ViewscreenForward")

Not really sure... lol

Just wanted to see if I had the ability to do more with the in-game camera. Something like activating the 'bridge zoom-in' any where I wanted would be great... you know, the zoom that the camera does whenever you speak to an officer? They'll turn to look at you whenever you select them and at the same time, the camera will zoom on them.

Being able to change where the camera zooms would be nice. For example, if I have the camera set up near the middle of the bridge, but want to be able to zoom in on the center of viewscreen, or if I'm slightly behind Kiska and want to do the same, right now, there's now way to do it... or do it without having a menu pop up. Or, heck, even changing the amount of zoom would be good.

I can live without it, but it would be a great option to have available for making movies with... which is currently exactly what I'm doing.

In the Bridge view:

Delete = Viewscreen views the ViewScreenLeft position on the HP
PgDown = Same as Del but Right
End is obviously the aft viewscreen in the HP
Home = Forward
Insert & PgUp might be Up and down....I keep forgeting..

FPC...I really don't know..

you can change how the camera zooms to a character... that info is in the character pys in scripts/bridges... for my install for example, i have altered how the camera zooms to a character (like nearer or further away) when hitting f1, f2, f3, etc while on the bridge...

That's what I'm looking for! I found the folder, but no character pys for the Galaxy bridge. It skips from Exc charaters to Int characters.

that's because those are in pyc format, and are just the names Brex, Miguel, Saffi, and Felix... those control the characters for the Gal and Sov bridges...

Sandtrooper... I could hug you.

I won't...

...but I could.

Okay, here we go:

Quote:

AddCommonAnimations(pMiguel) pMiguel.SetStanding(0) pMiguel.SetLocation('EBScience') pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience', 0.5) pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience1', 0.5) pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience2', 0.6)

AddCommonAnimations(pMiguel)<== Not sure what this does...
pMiguel.SetStanding(0)<== 1 means standing, 0 means sitting
pMiguel.SetLocation('EBScience')<==Where the model should be located

And these:
pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience', 0.5)
pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience1', 0.5)
pMiguel.AddPositionZoom('EBScience2', 0.6)[

--should be x,y,z coordinates for where the camera should zoom?
