SOLVED Receive the viewed driver in the Plugin API

It should be very useful to have the currently viewed driver

Exemple:
- with camera "TV cockpit", "cockpit", "nosecam", "sideman", "onboard xxx"..... -> the mID of the driver
- with camera "track" -> the mID of the tracked driver
- with camera fixed -> -1 for the mID

 

That is already in there. Look at UpdateGraphics. It returns the current viewed mID and mCameraType. You can also use WantsToViewVehicle to set the mID and mCameraType. You can even seek timecodes now (for replays).

The cameratypes are like this:
// 0 = TV cockpit
// 1 = cockpit
// 2 = nosecam
// 3 = swingman
// 4 = trackside (nearest)
// 5 = onboard000
// :
// :
// 1004 = onboard999
// 1005+ = (currently unsupported, in the future may be able to set/get specific trackside camera)


Maybe I don't understand your post.

 

Ooops i used only graphicInfo for setting the camera not to know the viewed driver.
Thanks i will try.

 

Something to be used for TV overlays maybe?

 

Yes

 

Thanks Noel Hibbard , i missed that

Works perfectly

 

If and when you get to the replay stuff I can share what I have learned about it. It took a while to get that working correctly. But it opens a lot of new possibilities for broadcasting.

 

Sure, i'm very interrested. I stopped that cause i was stuck on decrypting time event header.
