Constant camera offset

[Miens 0]

Hi guys,

in my project I want the camera to be in exact same position and rotation in relation to player. I coudnt find any tutorials on this topic and when i looked at camera page in wow dev wiki I coudnt figure anything out by myself. Does anyone have any idea where I should be looking to find some articles on this topic? Or can anyone help me in any other way?

Thanks

As far as I know it is possible to get player's lookat, so you need to set your camera yaw and pitch to this value with some memory editing or better a .dll inject. You can find the information about WoW memory offsets on Ownedcore I think.

Its possible with LUA too

It is the so-called World of Warcraft API functions. You can acess them with LUA addons and FrameXML, I guess. Protected functions can be accessed with some hack as far as I remember.

With this api I am able to set camera at certain position but how do I keep camera in place? Even if player has moved / rotated (using a/d keys)? Is it doable using this api?

I'd recommend you doing it with memory editing.
