Any way to GET the game cam PITCH?

[jumper]

So I have an idea for a cool offline script that would use SET_GAME_CAM_PITCH and SET_GAME_CAM_HEADING among other things, but I need to get the pitch data while in-game (on foot, and aiming a gun).

Three socks xyzh example gives me everything I need but the pitch, and after looking at the natives I don't see a way to GET this data so it can be printed to screen. The example uses GET_CHAR_HEADING for the heading, but as far as I can see there is no GET_CHAR_PITCH or GET_GAME_CAM_PITCH, or anything along those lines. The closest I can see that might be useful are GET_GAME_CAM and GET_GAME_CAM_CHILD but these don't use floats? So I might be totally off there.

Technically I could do the script without getting this data, but it would be a ton of trial and error to number guess on 200 seperate locations, I would probably give up on setting the pitch properly at that point.

I'm not sure how to get the actual cam pitch. But this will give you the xyz positioning of the current cam - Which might get you want you want, im not sure.

I hope it helps and good luck with your project

Thanks for the quick reply (and everything else!). That isn't exactly what I needed but helpful nonetheless, I mixed it in with your xyzh_coords and viola!



I'm going to switch GAME_CAM_POS to GET_CAM_ROT and see what pops out, I'm not sure how there can be 3 different rotation angles, but I shall print them to screen and see, maybe one will be that magic info I seek.

EDIT I believe I have found what I need! GET_CAM_ROT definitely gives me the angles.



If anyone is interested this is the code

Gives some interesting thoughts, thanks

try SET_CAM_ATTACH_OFFSET ? used it in my construction mod..

I may have gotten a bit ahead of myself. My end goal was to have a seperate script force the camera to a specific heading and pitch while holding L2 to aim a gun, essentially auto-aiming at a specific static angle, but I can't seem to make that happen just yet. I am trying to do that along with a teleport, so I might be screwing something up there with the combination of the two. I guess the smart thing is to try to get the aim thing working on it's own script, then integrate it with the teleport if I get it working.

What I was originally after on this thread is done I believe, I have all of the angle data recorded on video thanks to the above code, just need to put it to use if possible.

EDIT here's a preview clip of what I got so far. All 200 locations work, but a few of the coordinates need tweaking, I need to finish all the fancy on screen stuff, and I have yet to mess with the camera angle "auto-aim" idea.
