moving camera

[fragsta]

how do you make a camera (using scripts) that is in the front of a moving vehicle, eg. a plane?

Look for the 'attaching a camera to a vehicle script'.

A'ight Fragsta, here is a vehicle-cam script i use m8

;--Vehicle-cam----------------------------------------------------------

vehiclecamstop = false
#loop

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]

_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "front"]

_cam camsettarget Car

_cam camsetrelpos [1, -6, 1.5]

#commit
_cam camcommit 0


_cam camsettarget Car
_cam camcommit 0

~0.01

? NOT(vehiclecamstop) : goto "loop"  


_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
camdestroy _cam
;------------------------------------------------------------------

Just change the 'Car' to the name of the vehicle u want to target and u can change the X, Y, Z co-ordinates to determine where u want the cam to be in relation to the vehicle.

U will need to set a trigger where u want the cam to end with vehiclecamstop = true in the 'on activation' field to return to normal play

Doesnt it need a _car = _this select 0 and in the init line put [car] exec vehiclecam.sqs?

No, B-2-0s way is fine. I cam up with a similiar idea, which was similiar to B-2-0s way. Basically it went like this:

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "front"]

#camloop
_cam camsettarget plane
_cam camsetrelpos [0,50,50]
_cam camcommit 0
@camcommitted _cam
goto "camloop"


But we never managed to find away of how to end a loop.
