ENHANCED ORBIT CAM
Based on a previous orbit cam algorithm posted by chebob69.

Controls

LEFT, RIGHT = Rotate left, right
UP, DOWn    = Rotate up, down
PgUp, PgDn  = Zoom in, out
Home End   = Pan up, down
< key, > key      = Pan left, right
INS         = Move forward

How it works.. Making use of specially placed bones in the z_vp00 skinmesh, the resulting directional vector is used to facilitate left, right, and forward calculations.

To install, simply unzip the archive to your 3DRad_Res directory. The file contains the project and a single skinmesh

really cool! it seems to twist just before it rotates for me, is this by design?

The little "lag" before the rotation is due to the camera correcting itself with Rad's built in Lookat functionality. No way to get rid of that, unless one uses a different, more complex calculation, without using the default "lookat"

awesome

[chebob69]

Cool.

I did a similar one a long while back which was based on cylindrical polars. Your script's a lot different though so I'm guessing you didn't copy me.

I used the polars part from another script, so it probably is yours then. That's why I aked who the author was.. I'll add the required credits, as I always do when using "borrowed" code. Thanks chebob69.

Enhance OrbitCam – Fixes and additions

1..The “lag” during rotations has been removed. The Camera is no longer linked to the target that used Rad's built-in “lookat” functionality. This has been replaced by a scripted  “lookat”.
2.. z_vp00 Vector Pointer mesh has been altered – Will not work on previous version.
3.. Backward movement has been added to the camera
4..The Left and Right rotation keys have been swapped, to allow for better flight simulation

Controls

PgUp key – Zoom In
PgDn key – Zoom Out
Home key – Pan Up
End key – Pan Down
Insert key – Move Forwards
Delete key – Move Backwards  <--- New
Left key – Rotate Left
Right key – Rotate Right
Up key – Rotate Up
Down key – Rotate Down
< key – Pan Left
> key – Pan Right
Left + Insert – Forwards + Left (Flight simulation)
Right + Insert – Forwards _ Right (Flight simulation)

Nice little jewel.
