Camera Jiggle

[Devrim]

Hi.

 

I need a help about jiggle effect.

 

When enabled, we get jiggle effect on camera view, but at same time camera is moving around. How can I disable camera movement and get only jiggle effect?

 

For example, think about Sabre. In F4 view, camera is located on the right wing, but when jiggle is enabled, camera moves around constantly with jiggle effect. I want it like a real cam fixed on the right wing. Cam must jiggling but not moving... That's what I'm chasing...

 

Now, anybody knows what to edit and disable moving effect?

 

Thanks you really, in advance!

Try opening view.lua and setting function CameraFloat(t) values to 0. I know it works for fixed ground (airshow) camera, not sure about F4.

Wow. I think this is what they say "Worked like a charm!"

Thanks for the hint George. It works!

 

I enabled Camera Jiggle code block (Line#70 and later) and changed CameraFloat(t) section as following;

function CameraFloat(t)
local dX, dY, dZ
dX = 0;
dY = 0;
dZ = 0;
return dX, dY, dZ
end

Thanks again buddy. :beer:

I'm glad it worked :thumbup:

And... That's very interesting.

 

My aim was to record a video of a flight from a multiplayer session. We did that flight three days ago.

 

Obviously, DCS records your track with your current view settings. I mean, although I'm editing Jiggle Cam code today, the track that recorded three days ago has previous Jiggle Cam code.

 

Is there any possible way to edit track and change jiggle cam code? :D

You can open trk files with file archiver software like 7-zip (make a copy of that track beforehand just in case). Trk is basically just a container.

Sorry to bring an old post back to top, but is there any way changing any of those values will enhance the jiggle effect. I recall LOMACs jiggle (and FC1) being much greater than it is now. Can I modify something to make it stronger?

Hi.

 

You can edit View.lua and increase rot value.

I think default was 0.05 and mine is 0.06

 

-- CameraJiggle() and CameraFloat() functions make camera position
-- dependent on FPS so be careful in using the Shift-J command with tracks, please.
-- uncomment to use custom jiggle functions
function CameraJiggle(t,rnd1,rnd2,rnd3)
local rotX, rotY, rotZ
rotX = 0.06 * rnd1 * math.sin(37.0 * (t - 0.0))
rotY = 0.06 * rnd2 * math.sin(41.0 * (t - 1.0))
rotZ = 0.06 * rnd3 * math.sin(53.0 * (t - 2.0))
return rotX, rotY, rotZ
end

function CameraFloat(t)
local dX, dY, dZ
dX = 0;
dY = 0;
dZ = 0;
return dX, dY, dZ
end
