Getting a Camera to activate when my character disembarks from a Helicopter?

[Olphy]

Hi.

I am making a scripted cutscene of a helicopter dropping some troops off and I have a camera continually focussed on it.

Thing is, I want the camera to focus on my character by the name of M1 as soon as he exits the helicopter. How could I do this?

Thanks.

Type on the 'On Activation' field on the 'Get Out' waypoint:-

this exec myCamera

@proudpotter - huh? explain just how that will work?

@bazzer - there are a few ways to do it, but some more info is needed. when you say the camera is continually focussed on the chopper, how are you doing this? are you using the logicCam script? a simple loop?

depending on the answer to that, the next step would probably be using

Code: [Select]

#loop
~0.5
? (M1 in chopper_name) : goto "loop"
which will keep looping until the M1 character disembarks. after that line of code, you set up your next camerasettarget command and so on.

if you want to attach a copy of the cutscene script to your next post, it might help clarify things a bit

edit - this is also more a cutscene question - shunting over to the appropriate board

I will give that a try mate. Thanks.
