Is it possible to have player's mouse look limited?

change the minangle and maxangle values, those were just examples:

int minangle = 0.25; //fixed point angle
int maxangle = 0.75;

https://zdoom.org/wiki/Definitions#Fixed_point_angles

You could probably achieve this by getting setting the player's initial angle using SetActorAngle then forcing him to look only between 2 specific angles using the same function, I did something like that for and old thing I made.

int minangle = 0.5; //fixed point angle

int maxangle = 1.0;

 

If(GetActorAngle(0) < minangle)

{

SetActorAngle(0, minangle);

}

else

If(GetActorAngle(0) > maxangle)

{

SetActorAngle(0, maxangle);

}

 

Not sure about Looking up/down though.

About the looking/up down. is there a way to disable up down temporarily? That could work as well. 

You could use the same approach tempdecal.wad described, just with GetActorPitch and SetActorPitch.

From the wiki:

The actor's pitch is a fixed point angle. Due to the limits of freelook in the software renderer, this value is bounded by -0.0888977 (approximately -32°) and 0.155548 (approximately 56°), more precisely -5825 and 10194 as ints, but in GL freelook will go from -0.25 (-90°) to 0.25 (+90°). Note that looking up produces a negative value and looking down produces a positive value. 0 is looking straight ahead.

 

So you probably need something like
 

int minpitch = -0.125; // looking up
int maxpitch = 0.125; // looking down

if(GetActorPitch(1) < minpitch)
  SetActorPitch(1, minpitch)
else if(GetActorPitch(1) > maxpitch)
  SetActorPitch(1, maxpitch)

Should also note that your script is only going to be executed once / 1 frame, so you want to use loops if you want to do it for every frame

script 2 (void)
{
int minangle = 0.5; //fixed point angle
int maxangle = 1.0;
while(true)
{
If(GetActorAngle(1) < minangle)
{
SetActorAngle(1, minangle);
}
else
If(GetActorAngle(1) > maxangle)
{
SetActorAngle(1, maxangle);
}
int minpitch = -0.125; // looking up
int maxpitch = 0.125; // looking down
if(GetActorPitch(1) < minpitch)
{
SetActorPitch(1, minpitch);
}
else
if(GetActorPitch(1) > maxpitch)
{
SetActorPitch(1, maxpitch);
}
delay(1);
}
}

Thank you I shall try it out.

Hello again!

So, I did this:

Quote

 

#include "zcommon.acs"

 

script 1 ENTER
{
    Thing_ChangeTID(0, 1 + PlayerNumber()); // This assigns the TID
}

script 2 (void)
{
int minangle = 0.5; //fixed point angle

int maxangle = 1.0;

If(GetActorAngle(1) < minangle)

     {

     SetActorAngle(1, minangle);

     }

else

If(GetActorAngle(1) > maxangle)

     {

     SetActorAngle(1, maxangle);

     }

int minpitch = 0.75; //fixed point pitch

int maxpitch = 0.25;

 

If(GetActorpitch(1) < minpitch)

     {

     SetActorpitch(1, minpitch);

     }

else

If(GetActorPitch(1) > maxpitch)

     {

     SetActorpitch(1, maxpitch);

     }

}

 

I thought it was working but apparently it does not. When the player activates the script he just looks up and that is it. I am probably missing something obvious...

Any help would be appriciated!

}

 

Okay this script so far has done the trick but there is one small issue. When the player looks left his "point of view" teleports to the right.

Ah, right I just noticed that. Thank you so much.
