Shaking the Camera
« on: January 23, 2020, 04:59:15 pm »
Hello,

So I was trying to see if I could emulate a camera shake (like when you get hit). I'm not having much success though. Does anyone have a good way to do this?


What I was trying to do is rotating it based on my delta time. Such as:

if(bShake) {
dt+=deltaTime;
if(dt > 0.01)
    camera.rotate(90);
if(dt > 0.03)
     camera.rotate(-100);
if(dt > 0.06)
     camera.rotate(110);
etc....
if(dt>1.f)
shake=false;
(set the camera back to default)
dt=0;
}
and ending back to the normal position.

It doesn't work how I imagined it. It's very slow, I tried messing with the times to make them quicker. I'm looking for a way to do this correctly. A very quick back and forth (rumble) Thanks.

I once implemented a simple camera shake in my version of the SFML logo animation, like this:
(click to show/hide)

It ended up looking like this:

Wow! That was really cool man. I couldn't get that function to work on my program. So I'll have to look at it deeper, thought I covered all the variables, but I'm not using them right. Thanks for the example.
