Summary

Function: llSetCameraAtOffset( vector offset );

Sets the point the camera is looking at if an avatar sits on the object at offset.

• vector offset offset relative to the object's center and expressed in object coordinates

This is the point the camera looks at, not the position of the camera's eye.

Caveats

  • The change will only take effect next time the avatar sits on the prim. You can't change the offset once it has already sit down.
  • If you use a sit pose rotation and want to set the camera relatively to your avatar, you must do calculations.
  • If you rotate the object and want to set the camera relatively to the region, you have to do calculations too.

Examples

<lsl> // Sit the avatar looking at an arbitrary direction // Look over the avatar's shoulders from behind once it sits down

back_view(float degrees) {

    rotation sitRot = llAxisAngle2Rot(<0, 0, 1>, degrees * DEG_TO_RAD);
   
    llSitTarget(<0, 0, 0.1>, sitRot);
       
    llSetCameraEyeOffset(<-2, 0, 1> * sitRot);
    llSetCameraAtOffset(<2, 0, 1> * sitRot);

}

default {

   state_entry()
   {
       back_view( 208 );
       llSay(0, "Please sit down");
   }

}
