Updating extension: First Person 3D Camera

[Eldarduil]

Description

Adds a new action: look through 3D object eyes. Currently this extension only allow "3d box" object type. I have just added a new function that allows to pick 3D models to look through 3d model eyes.

How to use the extension

The new action moves the camera to 3d model's origin point. Before using this action directly, make sure your 3d model's origin point is at the position that you want your camera view is gonna be. That needs to be done in modelling software of your choice.

👋 Hey @Eldarduil, thanks for your submission! We are kind of confused; Your zip file doesn't seem to contain an extension. Please update your original submission post with a new zip file containing an extension 🙏
If your zip does already contain an extension, make sure your file ends with ".json", and that it is at the root of your zip file (not in a sub folder!), as otherwise it will be unrecognized and ignored by the system. If you've checked and nothing seems wrong with your zip, you can ask a member of the extension team for help 😉

👋 Hey @Eldarduil, thanks for your submission! We are sorry, but it seems we already have a reviewed extension with that name. Extensions cannot be in both the community and reviewed extensions list at once. If you are trying to update that extension, please ask a member of the extension team for help. If the name clash is a coincidence, please update your original submission post with a new zip file containing your extension with a file name that is not already taken 🙏

@D8H I don't know if asking this way is proper, but you are the original creator of the extension and I ask your help for this update.

Thank you for submitting an extension update.

The example you attached is a built game. Please attach the project folder instead otherwise we can't look at the events.

I did update the example project file now. Sorry for that mistake. despite project file has different things inside, but only change is in the First Person camera extension I just copied your function and made it for 3d models.

Please take a look at the 3rd person extension:

• The new action works for any 3D object
• The old action is hidden to ensure compatibility

Alright, but I didn't understand why should I check the third person camera. Ofcourse what I'm trying to archive can be done with third person camera which I did it (by making every properties "0"). But in the end I thought it make more sense if I can just use "look through eyes of an object" on my 3d model Camera.

Then I checked it and FirstPersonCamera extension was only accepting 3dBox object. I thought there is a reason FPSCamera is not excepting any object for a reason. So I decided to copy the function and make new one that allows to pick 3d models as an object.

I am very amateur developer. You guys are master compared to my knowledge about gdevelop. If there is a reason for this not implemented in first place or its not proper to implement you know better than me.

I meant to look which parameters it uses (in my screenshot) and do something similar for the 1st person camera.

The "3D capability" behavior wasn't a thing at the time the extension was done.

Thank you for your help. With your help I changed the function similar to third person camera extension. And updated the files in the original submission post.

Also I changed the "Camera Rotation on Y axis" to negative (-), for matching the camera roll to object rotation. Now Camera roll matches the object rotation in the editor scene.
