Multiseat Camera

Automatic camera system for multiseat mode. Calculates a shared camera view that encompasses all player vehicles by averaging positions and adjusting distance/FOV dynamically.

Public Functions

Camera Algorithm

Each frame when enabled:

1. Average position - Computes mean position of all player vehicles
2. Max distance - Finds the farthest vehicle from the mean, doubles it + 10m padding
3. Direction - Derived from frame-to-frame position delta
4. Apply - Sets camera target, distance, FOV (40°), and reference frame via core_camera

Camera Settings Applied

Usage Example

-- Multiseat camera is controlled by the "multiseat" setting
-- It activates/deactivates automatically via onSettingsChanged

-- Manual control (internal):
-- setEnabled(true)  -- activates camera and hooks onUpdate
-- setEnabled(false) -- resets all vehicle cameras to default

Enable/Disable Behavior

• On enable: Resets camera for player 0's vehicle, begins tracking
• On disable: Resets camera configuration and per-vehicle references for all vehicles
• On serialize: Auto-disables to prevent stale state

Notes

• Uses core_input_bindings.getAssignedPlayers() to determine which players have vehicles.
• Camera follows the mean position with a smooth direction vector.
• The onUpdate function is swapped between nop and the real implementation via setEnabled.
• Requires core_camera to be loaded.
