You can parent the camera to the gunEntityParent camera,gun |

| If you don't want the gun poking through walls, etc, then it's better to create a second camera and parent the gun to that. The thread linked below has some discussion on the subject. http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=75471#843400 |

| If it's an FPS then EntityOrder() should suffice. |
| ||
| Using EntityOrder() on the gun will cause the gun's polygons to not be z ordered. |
| ||
| That made me scratch my head because I've done the EntityOrder() thing previously without any problems -- when I look at that (old) project, though, I notice that the gun has been modelled in such a way that the issue will never arise. So I'll qualify my previous statement that EntityOrder() should suffice by adding if your artist has done his job! Interestingly, in the end, I hadn't gone with EntityOrder() on that occasion (it was commented out) -- instead I had scaled the gun right down and placed it as close to the camera as the camera-range allowed without it clipping out of view. Works a treat. |
