Summary

Function: rotation llGetCameraRot( );

Returns a rotation that is the current camera orientation for the agent the task has permissions for.

To run this function the script must request the PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA permission with llRequestPermissions.

Caveats

Permissions
  • Seems to act weird when the camera gets too far from the agent.

<lsl> //Camera Follower Script //llGetCameraPos & llGetCameraRot Example //By Nika Rugani

integer perm_track = 0x400; float second_check = 0.1;

vector object_offset = <2,0,0>; //Offset of the cameras position where the object will set itself

integer die_channel = 0; string die_command = "/die";

quickPosRot(vector pos, rotation rot) {//This way you don't have the 0.2 second sleeps from llSetPos and llSetRot

   llSetLinkPrimitiveParamsFast(LINK_THIS, [PRIM_POSITION, pos, PRIM_ROTATION, rot]);

}

   on_rez(integer a)
