Fix setCameraTarget not syncing camera rotation to ped heading (#4915)

[QueryOfficial]

Summary

Fixes a 1.7 regression where setCameraTarget(player) does not reliably align the camera with the ped's rotation after a server-side rotation change, especially on a frozen local player.

Changes:

• Sync camera rotation to ped heading in SetFocusToLocalPlayerImpl() after RestoreWithJumpCut()
• Keep m_matFrozen rotation in sync when rotation is changed on a frozen ped
• Sync camera rotation for the local player on SET_PED_ROTATION when not in fixed camera mode

Motivation

Fixes #4915.

In MTA 1.6, setCameraTarget(client) consistently reset the camera to match the player's on-foot rotation. In 1.7 this became inconsistent; the camera often stayed wrong, commonly ~180° opposite to the ped.

The main causes were:

• setCameraTarget only restored camera focus via RestoreWithJumpCut() and did not sync camera rotation to ped heading
• Server-side setElementRotation did not update camera rotation for players
• On frozen players, SetCurrentRotation() updated m_Matrix but not m_matFrozen, so StreamedInPulse() could revert the ped to the old rotation on the next frame

Test plan

Reproduced the original report flow (frozen local player, server-side dimension/interior/rotation change, then setCameraTarget) and confirmed the camera now matches ped rotation instead of often ending up ~180° off. Also checked the same flow without freeze and after unfreeze.

Checklist

• Your code should follow the coding guidelines.
• Smaller pull requests are easier to review. If your pull request is beefy, your pull request should be reviewable commit-by-commit.

thx gpt

Hey, what exactly is your point in commenting “thx gpt” under every commit I make?

The first time you wrote it, I didn’t say anything. But repeating it under every commit feels unnecessary and disrespectful. If you have a technical concern about the code, feel free to point it out properly. Otherwise, I’d appreciate it if you stopped making these kinds of comments.

Thanks.

should probably check why your LLM slop is failing to build before you ask me for technical concerns

No one claimed that the commit was 100% perfect.

It has only been around 20 minutes since I pushed it, and when I saw that it failed to build, I already started addressing it. The issue was caused by a GetCamera() call in CPedRPCs.cpp, because GetCamera is not available as a member of CClientGame in the current codebase. A new commit has also been pushed to address this.

Build issues can happen during development, especially when working across changing code. That is exactly why CI exists.

What I don’t understand is why you feel the need to make these kinds of comments instead of simply pointing out the technical issue. Have you made a habit of talking down to people who are trying to contribute?

"hey chatgpt reply to this guy who's saying my commits are LLM slop, it's clearly not! :("

I’m not even taking you seriously at this point. If mocking people is all you can contribute, keep crying.
