[charlie11459]

in your tags it says blander not blender, you should fix that it will make your vid less findable u know

[am10159]

[TyylerS]

Or you can just parent the camera to the player

[lilotis008]

thanks

[einTyp25]

thanx but how can I make a 2d game, that should still have 2d view. Sorry for my bad english

[hamsterhill]

perhaps you should try a different engine if you want to make a 2d game... something like game maker. but if you still want to do it in blender.

select the camera press ALT+R to clear its rotation so it looks strait down then just parent it too your object... if you want it to jsut stay above the object without the rotating then use a location constraint under object buttons

[einTyp25]

thanx it work

[bigblue21148]

@einTyp25

for a 2D blender game I would do the following. Make a 2d level, restrict movement of player mesh to z and y axis (assuming the x is the 3rd dimension you don't use) Now just parent the camera to a intersection at the center of your mesh. The camera is not acting as a 2d camera for say but is will follow the player mesh in the 2d plane giving you a nice Mario 3 esc panning effect.

[lolcorrupt]

@einTyp25 use scratch its realy great for 2d and theres a web site to put it on and no programing needed its drag and drop hope this helped;P

[phillozoph50]

I've just created my first game in blender today,shame I did not see this tutorial before I uploaded video on youtube.Already used this new info in my game and it looks great,thanks a lot man,goog job.

[kiml42]

That was really useful, I've been struggling with the camera for a while, and you set me on the right course so easily I'm not sure what I was doing wrong.

[SquatPock]

thxs!

[Riyuzakisan]

This was awesome it helped me so much! It really bugged me to have the camera flip over when the object rotated the wrong way. 5/5 and favorited

[hamsterhill]

thanks glad you enjoyed it

[asboobsred]

[Kalzizizi]

Plz make a turtorial im making a game

[hamsterhill]

there are plenty of other resources on the internet besides me. maybe you could try supporting the blender institute by buting one of there books or dvds on the game engine... they know far more on the subject then i ever will

[Kalzizizi]

how to make attack

plz make turtorial

[hamsterhill]

... i think thats the kind of thing im going to put on my dvd so unfortunately i don't think it will be out for some time

[JeweldProductions]

hey i'll buy it if its not like 60 bucks lol

[oholi9]

how do you make the plane show up

[annoyer707]

nice tutorial, but you should start making your videos in HD or high quality. the quality is a little bad.

[hamsterhill]

they take to long to upload and you tube doesn't like big files so this is the resolution that will be available at youtube. however i do plan to release a dvd on a certain subject that will have HD versions of my tutorials on it as well with all the blend files and some other cool stuff.

[annoyer707]

k i understand

[Gboyz3]

mn u thought me alot on these easy videos

[hamsterhill]

your welcome.

[FlashFuel]

Dude, AWESOME TUTORIAL! Thank you so much man, I finally learned how to use actuators and sensors. Controllers are easy though, you don't use much on 'em. Anyways though, thanks man!

[hamsterhill]

your most welcome

[Zarnik]

that is not a good camera...it doesnt rotate with the player and it doesnt detect collisions...make a proper tutorial on that.

[hamsterhill]

...this is a basic camera set up for people who have never used the game engine before... there are afew python scripts and stuff out there that you can use to make your camera better but this is good enough for what i want.

[cuzzobuzzo1]

Thank you once again. Your video tutorials ROCK!!

I see all kinds of fun in this one. Keep up the great work please.

Peace and Cheers to the season.

[hammer1978video]

wow, thanks, best tutorial i've seen yet, big big help. i'm subscribing. thanks again.

[hamsterhill]

cheers dude glad you liked it

[dabluezpreacher]

you are awesome man! I really appreciate these tutorials. Please continue on with the game ones, Im very intersted.

[hamsterhill]

thanks and will do... anything in particular you want to learn in the game engine?

[sokkerdave]

hey i just got the newest blender and now i cant save files and stuff so what happened i now it asked to download a kind of python script thing so i downloaded the python 2.51 can u help

[guitarskatinwizard33]

lol its ok i found a video on what i need

[hamsterhill]

really. thats good. could you post a link for other people who are interested in the same thing?

[guitarskatinwizard33]

no i mean like physics like if your car smashes into things and stuff

[hamsterhill]

you want to make it so that it actualy has dentable pannels and stuff?

[guitarskatinwizard33]

how do you add collision to something for in stance if i want my vechile to run in to something it stops etc

[hamsterhill]

instead of bouncing...

i think if you set the Damp which is in the action buttons pannel too full and then jusit set up your speed abit so that you move faster it wont bounce.

[articpolarbear1991]

pretty cool.

[hamsterhill]

cheers man glad you liked it.
