Wanted: Advanced Cam Tut
« on: 14 Aug 2003, 10:04:39 »
Hello guys!

I have read a lot of tutorials(snypirs, messiahs, robs)!
But i always get a view of my squad in the start!
Propably because the cam is created near the squad!

If i want my camera to start near an enemy tank
is there a command which can do that?
And that moves camera from marker to marker and so on!

I have been trying to find a tutorial about this but
havent found any!

Could someone help me?
 ;D 8) ;D

MeKillYou,

You need to have named ur tank with a recognisable name like (for example) we will use mekillyou in all lower case letters.

Then u exit (Alt-Tab) out of the editor and bring up the camera script that u r using for this Scene...

find the line contained in the part of the script that specifies the targetting of the tank - there should be somehting like this there -

"nameofcamera"]/i] camsettarget "nameoftarget"

so using a name for a camera of "_cam
that line should look like this -

_cam camsettarget mekillyou

NOTE : what ever u use the name for the camera this has to be used thorugh out the script where changing it will result in a non working script- understand ?

I hope i have been some help if i aint - slap me hard ;D

*Rhys hides in castle ruins awaiting arrival of MeKillYou's hand ;D

I use the cam script that snypir wrote!
And that makes me see my squad for about one
sec. I dont want that to happen!
I want to see an enemy tank(named whatever you want)
and then a  enemy squad(also named whatever you want)
But i call the tank (tank1) without ()!
And soldier (soldier1) without ()
And yes i place [] exec "camera.sqs" in the on activation field!

I think i see my bloody squad because
the camera seems to be created near my squad!
Is there a command that creates camera whereever
you want it to be created?

TBH with you u should not use camera scripts that have been allready made by others and try to integrate them to ur own needs - like u have experienced - it can cause unexpectable results.. If u want me to create a camera script fo ryou send me the gfile with the mission and adn i would be happy to give u an example of one ;D

So im not supposed to use anyones camscript and
then you say that you can make one so that i use yours
what is this?

I have read all the tutorials and made camscripts
that work, but not properly!

It is only the beginning when you see your own squad that
bothers me nothing else! :P

And the marker thing if it is possible to move camera from
marker to marker! ;)
