Added in 1.6.0 r22631

This function allows you to trigger camera shake effect (just like explosion does).

Note
  • The camera shaking duration depends on the force. High values can result in very long durations. That's why resetShakeCamera exists.
  • If position not given, it will defaults to local player position.

Syntax 

bool shakeCamera ( float force, [ float x = nil, float y = nil, float z = nil ] )
Required Arguments
  • force: Intensity and time of the shake. The higher the value, the longer the camera shakes.
Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use.

  • x (default: nil): Center X coordinate of the shake.
  • y (default: nil): Center Y coordinate of the shake.
  • z (default: nil): Center Z coordinate of the shake.

Returns

  • bool: result

Always returns true.

Code Examples

client

This example allows you to constantly trigger camera shake effect in center of the map, the closer you are to center the stronger effect will be.

local shakeStrength = 1.4 -- define strength of the camera shake
local shakePosX, shakePosY, shakePosZ = 0, 0, 3 -- define position where camera shake would happen


function triggerCameraShake()
    shakeCamera(shakeStrength, shakePosX, shakePosY, shakePosZ) -- trigger camera shake
end
setTimer(triggerCameraShake, 100, 0) -- call this function indefinitely, every 100 ms
