Suggestion: setview

[Rick]

Similar to setfocus, only it sets the origin of the viewpoint to this x/y (instead of the player's x/y). If a setfocus is in effect, it would be relative to this as well.

And of course, resetview.

Would be handy if this gets added, I really need it!

I think Rick means that the setview command would change the resetfocus coordinates. For example:

NPC Code:

---

//#CLIENTSIDE

function onCreated() {

  setfocus(5,5); //would change the view to coordinates (5,5)

  resetfocus(); // would change the view back to the player

  setview(20,20); // would change resetfocus coordinates to (20,20)

  setfocus(5,5); // change view to coordinates (5,5) again

  resetfocus(); // this time it would change view to 20,20 as opposed to player coordinates

  resetview(); // and resetview to change the coordinates setview() has set back to player coordinates.

}

ZeLpH_MyStiK sort of gets it right.

I want to be able to move the player's view around (as if their player X/Y is moving) without actually moving the player.

Say the player is at 10,10 then I changed their coords to 50,50. Their view would center on 50,50.

What I want to do is have the player at 10,10 then be able to setview(50,50) and have the view center on 50,50 without actually moving the player.

Hopefully I'm making a little more sense now?

Since when is setfocus moving the player ?

It's not...?

I'm looking for a precise way of managing the view, setfocus doesn't seem to be that way.

Well the setfocus thing is compatible for different screen size. If you want a way to set the view origin then you would need to care about the window size though ?

Yes that would be fine.
