Hello, HE community I am having an issue for the FPS Camera I have followed the entire Tutorial and every time I put this command in the console "call fps_camera_callback startfps_camera." I receive a script error and the camera does change its viewport. This is the script error: SCRIPT ERROR: Function [STARTFPS_CAMERA.] not found in script [FPS_Camera_Callback]. I am not sure what to do and I figured someone else would know if I did something wrong here. I made a new script with this code:

 function PushAndActivateFPS_CameraLayer()
  PushCmdLayer("FPS_Camera")
  ActivateCmdLayer("FPS_Camera", true)
.
 
function DeactivateFPS_CameraLayer()
  ActivateCmdLayer("FPS_Camera",false)
  ActivateCamera( "GAME" )
.
 
function SetupFPS_Camera()
  camera as NodeRef = AddCamera("FPS_Camera")
 
  character as NodeRef = GetPlayerCharacterNode()
  character_position as Vector3
  GetNodePosition( character, character_position )
  SetCameraPosition( "FPS_Camera", character_position )
  character["Render"] = false
 
  SetCameraFollow( "FPS_Camera",character )
  SetCameraOffset( "FPS_Camera", 0.0 )
  FreeLook( "FPS_Camera", true )
  ActivateCamera( "FPS_Camera")
.
 
function onmouseleaveviewport()
  println("Left viewport in fps_camera")
.
 
function OnMouseClick(lmb as Boolean, rmb as Boolean, mmb as Boolean, mb4 as Boolean, mb5 as Boolean) as Boolean
  println("Click")
  return false
.
 
function onMouseMove(mx as Integer, my as Integer, dx copies Integer, dy copies Integer) as Boolean
  println("Moving the mouse")
  if (GetTweakableBoolean("GameInvertMouseX")) or $INPUT._InputGameInvertMouseX
    dx = dx * -1
  .
  if (not GetTweakableBoolean("GameInvertMouseY")) and ( not $INPUT._InputGameInvertMouseY )
    dy = dy * -1
  .
 
  fx as Float = dx
  fy as Float = dy * -1
 
  if $INPUT._InputGameMouseSensitivity > 0
    fx = fx * $INPUT._InputGameMouseSensitivity
    fy = fy * $INPUT._InputGameMouseSensitivity
  .
  camera as NodeRef = GetActiveCamera()
  RotateNode(camera,fy,fx,0)
 
  return true
.
 
 
 
function StartFPS_Camera()
  PushAndActivateFPS_CameraLayer()
  SetupFPS_Camera()
.

Again I have no idea what I did wrong in the script for the console to give me this error and not change my viewport.

Hello rjhanes,

Lets take a look, first off, I need you to make sure that the error you posted:

SCRIPT ERROR: Function [STARTFPS_CAMERA.] not found in script [FPS_Camera_Callback]

is exactly what the console prints out.

Reason being is this:

Function [STARTFPS_CAMERA.]

The "." period after CAMERA should not appear in the error printout unless perhaps you typed it rather than copy/pasted the error in your post.  Otherwise, is it possible you entered the period into your console command?

your console command should read as follows:

call fps_camera_callback startfps_camera

as you correctly noted above in quotes.  That might seem silly to consider, but in order to check it out, need to verify even the simplest of possiblities first

Next, double check to make sure the script did in fact compile without errors, and submitted okay:
try to compile it again, and re submit, notice the message at the bottom of the script editor and make sure the
submit was successful, and that a MERGE wasn't called for.

Let us know if none of that helps out then we can dig deeper

Thank you so much ToY-Krun umm this is the exact error: Client Script Error
SCRIPT ERROR: Function [STARTFPS_CAMERA] not found in script [FPS_Camera_Callback]
Time:07/22/2016 21:37:25
Call trace:
starting method/function STARTFPS_CAMERA
starting me[id=0 invalid]

Im not too sure if that'll help I mean I have copied and pasted the entire code and I still have only gotten this. I also re-compiled with no errors so lol not too sure whats going on.

[rjhanes]

I got it! Haha I forgot to submit the script so lol I was just compiling without submitting and that's what was causing the issue lol

Great!  while the most common errors are the simple ones, at least theyre easy to fix !


Glad you got it working
