Plugins Searchlight

[ky1001]

I have a suggestion that you should add a parameter when tracking the target, set a threshold, and do not turn (or slowly turn to track) when you do not deviate from the target threshold, beyond which you can track the precise position of the target.

This plugin already has that functionality.
Try adjusting Dead Zone and Moving Factor.

ky1001 updated Searchlight with a new update entry:

Update

I changed the license from CC BY-NC to CC BY-SA. There are no changes other than the license.

Feature suggestion:

When Searchlight is on a person atom make it point from the head instead of the person's root point.
Then it could be used in combination AcidBubbles's Embody to control the "possessed" view / head automatically.
May have to lock the rotation in Embody for it to work.

I use this Embody + Searchlight combination a lot on an Empty-atom or InvisibleLight-atom to use it as camera.
Also very effective at lighting a scene with just one "POV-light" like that .... frames per second go brrrrrr on potato GPU.

Edit:
Never mind. I just realized Embody itself can already track / point to the a person:eyeTargetControl. Can even smooth the view's rotation under Configure Passenger ...

Sorry. I'm not good at English, so I read it using Google Translate, but I couldn't understand it well.
Does your proposal involve adding new functionality to the Searchlight plugin? Or is it a proposal for a new usage?
If it is a proposal for a new usage, is it the same as klphgz's proposal on Jan 31, 2022 in this discussion section?

Forget and ignore my post. I was stupid.
It was about new functionality, but it is not needed.
Embody can already do what I wanted with the eye target.

Sorry I wasted your time. Enjoy your weekend and time with VAM.
