Re: Remove limit on vertical rotation / mouse look for Lerks

moultano wrote: » Quaternions! I believe the canonical way to do this would be to specify all of your view rotations in quaternion space, then add a constant angular acceleration that rolls the view back to vertical This would be a pretty big departure from the current control scheme however. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quaternion The gist of quaternions: Euler angles (normal rotation vectors) are subject to Gimbal lock when two of the axes get aligned. Quaternions avoid this by specifying the rotation 4 dimensionally. The extra degree of freedom ensures that your rotation can never get stuck. Oh I am well-aware of the miracle of quaternions. The real trick is getting the animation system to cooperate with that, and figuring out how to deal with the net-code side of that. Anyone played "Depth?" When you aim down the sights, you can spin 360 degrees, unrestricted... though they didn't do anything like re-set the roll, so it got pretty nauseating. That's a really interesting idea for lerks, and maybe even skulks. Would take quite a bit of tweaking, I imagine, to make it "feel" right, and would definitely need to be a non-default option.

Never turn your back on them. @Vetinari Is someone getting this game confused with Prey? Nope, but now that you mention it, a gloo gun would be really damn useful against fades. God that'd be infuriating to be the fade though...

Okay, so what happens if they're looking over-the-top-behind themselves, and they fall and land on a surface? Do we... snap their view to within the limits? Do we... roll their view 180 degrees to make it look the same? And yes, this would require quite a lot of work to get working correctly, not to mention the animations would need to be updated.
