View to a Kill

[kueter]

Howdy fellas,
            Any one know how to have a sniper view during a cutscene(like binocular view or tv view). ie a sniper targeting an officer?  

Thanks in advance!

Peace,
Kueter

Yes, this is possible in OFP:R, but there is an easier way than using resources (only in Resistance though). There is a new camera command that lets you see through the "gunner" optics of a unit (the scope in the case of a sniper). Unfortunately, I can't remember the code at this time, and a quick look at the comref has not revealed it.

But before I expend too much effort, what version of OFP have you got?

  Thanks for the reply PsyWarrior.

I am currently running 1.91 and 1.95 res.

You're talking about the 'switchCamera' command PsyWarrior.

unit switchCamera "cameraMode"

Where cameraMode can be "internal", "external", "group", "gunner" and maybe something else that I cant remember now.

Cheers

That's the one.

It was listed in the ComRef, But it didn't say anything about the "gunner" CameraMode.

EDIT: No, I was looking at completely the wrong command  

Problem Solved, hopefully.

Problem Solved, hopefully.

I doubt it...
At least I didn't get it to work during a cut scene...  
Worked within game though...

If someone knows if/how this works in cutsecene I'd be very happy to know...

Hey

umm . . . soz, don't really know much about this, but to that Q how to use it, I think you shove it after setFOV. Not sure.

But what does ring a bell on this subject from somewhere else, is the camera
          "Optics" or just "Optic"

Can't remember, soz. Hope it helps

Just a note of interest: This effect can be seen in the OFP:R campaign intro, when the Resistance try to ambush Guba.

You could DePBO the campaign and see how BIS did it. I can't do this at this time, since I messed up my copy of OFP Mgr and on 28.8kb/s, it's going to be a while till I get a new copy...

But in all likelyhood, the tutorial will solve this problem (now where did I hear that recently...problem solved, hopefully...hmm)

Oh, I just had to...  ;D

Nope, BIS does it cutRsc... Here a quote from the actual intro code:
