Camera error

[Jonnee]

*knock knock*

Heyho, it's me again.
Today I tried first time creating two camera regions with using Alcscript. But I can't export the age caused of an error in the script that I don't understand. I used a code that I've found in the forum.
May someone please help me?

the script:

Code: Select all

rgn_Camera_Turm1
    region:
        type: camera
        camera:
            messages:
              - newcam: Camera_Turm1



Camera_Turm1:
    camera:
        brain:
            type: avatar:
            xpanlimit: 1
            ypanlimit: 1
            zpanlimit: 1
            poa: 0,0,6
            offset: 0,6,6
            flags:
              - followlocalavatar
              - maintainLOS



rgn_Camera_Turm2
    region:
        type: camera
        camera:
            messages:
              - newcam: Camera_Turm2



Camera_Turm2:
    camera:
        brain:
            type: avatar:
            xpanlimit: 1
            ypanlimit: 1
            zpanlimit: 1
            poa: 0,0,6
            offset: 0,6,6
            flags:
              - followlocalavatar
              - maintainLOS

The export error says:

Code: Select all

"could not found expected ´:´
in "<string >", line 268, column 11:
region:
      ^

(must be within the camera code) What the hell does blender want from me??

If you want to be very pretty please change the code for Camera_Turm1 to a fixed camera. I don't wanna make any errors again.

Thank you very much!
Cheers, Jonnee

PS: Do I still have to add an object property like "string: regiontype camera" etc to the region object? I could not find an easy step by step tutorial.

[Trylon]

it wants you to place a semicolon after:
rgn_Camera_Turm1

it should look like this:

Code: Select all

rgn_Camera_Turm1:
    region:
... rest of code....

Do I still have to add an object property like "string: regiontype camera" etc to the region object? I could not find an easy step by step tutorial.

No (as far as I can see). regiontype (either as a Blender property or in AlcScript) and region.type (i.e. the type entry under region: in AlcScript) are equivalent, and if both are specified, the former takes precedence. I don't know which one is the more current or recommended.

[Jonnee]

OMG, things could be so easy. *g*
Thank you very much.

Will there be a king be returning soon? :9

[Jonnee]

I'm on my way.

I don't know which one is the more current or recommended.

region.type is considered more syntactically accurate, but either should work.

[Christian Walther]

That's what it seemed to me too. Thanks for the clarification!

Hiho!

Just a short question: How does a first person camera look in the Alcscript?
I have a very small room in my age. As long as the avatar is inside this room the camera should be first person (or just a bit infront of the avatar's nose).

try this ....

Code: Select all

<name of camera region>:
    region:
        type: camera
        camera:
            messages:
              - newcam: <name of camera>

<name of camera>:
    camera:
        brain:
            type: firstperson
            xpanlimit: 0.95
            ypanlimit: 0.95
            zpanlimit: 0.95
            poa: 0,-0.5,6
            offset: 0,0,6.1
