Placing model in front of flycam

Troubleshooting graphics

Hello,

I need urgent help on how to place a model or part of a model in front of a flycam, like the hand and gun in the action games.

Very detailed help and code would be better.



Thank you very much

[java]

Vector3f position = cam.getWorldCoordinates(inputManager.getCursorPosition(), 0.3f);

[/java]

if i good know this code tells us world coordinates of place where is mouse in distance 0.3f from camera.

So you could try use:

[java]

Vector3f position = cam.getWorldCoordinates(new Vector2f(0,0), 1.5f);

[/java]



but maybe there is better way to do it

Thanks for the help, but I’m new at this can you please explain more how to use this position to set the player in front of cam.

Because as you can see from my simpleUpdate code that the cam is following the player’s location not the other way around, so how can I set the player to stay in front of cam ?

thanks again



@Override

public void simpleUpdate(float tpf) {



Vector3f camDir = cam.getDirection().clone().multLocal(0.6f);

Vector3f camLeft = cam.getLeft().clone().multLocal(0.4f);

walkDirection.set(0, 0, 0);

if (left) { walkDirection.addLocal(camLeft); }

if (right) { walkDirection.addLocal(camLeft.negate()); }

if (up) { walkDirection.addLocal(camDir); }

if (down) { walkDirection.addLocal(camDir.negate()); }



player.setWalkDirection(walkDirection);

cam.setLocation(player.getPhysicsLocation());



}
