Hi guys, (and girls)

*Update*

***

There is now a version 2, which is where (due to popular demand) the mouse no longer goes screaming off to the left! The source code has had some minor changes in the HDPlayerController and HDCamera, so if you are working from source, just look at the resetScrollCamera function and boolean variable. The code is uncommented but should be easy enough to understand. To lock and unlock the camera, just press the space bar.

As opposed to writing a tutorial (which sometimes I find difficulty to explain) I figured, I would just write a basic point and click source game, and comment it heavily so you can work it out from the inside out. It’s how I learn, and I figured, that this would be a good way to give some people who are struggling a lift

Originally this was a piece of UNI work from many months ago, which I have updated to October build of the UDK. It’s clunky, It’s chunky, and it doesn’t look very nice, but it works, and should give most people a good starting point.

Version 1: UDK point and click source code

Version 2: UDK point and click source code

Controls :

Right mouse – move to the cursor destination

Middle mouse – hold to rotate, release to stop rotating

Space bar – reset the camera to above your pawn

I can’t however take all the credit for this, as it’s based on X9′s tutorial on point and click, so if you want a better idea of how it works, I’d start there!

Hope you find this useful!
