Cam settarget

[marcus3]

i am starting to make a intro for a mission of mine with a camera script (this is my first time) so i want the camera to be set behind a dude and the camera to look at a plane takeing off. so i got the camera to go behind the dude but then i put the _cam settarget getpos plane code and then it looked at the place where the plane last was. so, how do u get the camera to follow a person/thing?

You have to create a loop that updates the camsettarget every ~0.01 second or so.

I'm at work, so I cannot give you the syntax, but here is what you do...

unPbo the Red Hammer campaign and look in the first mission. ThereÂ's a camera following a flying helo in that one. The camera script is in init.sqs.

They use a counter that determines when the loop is finished, and then they update the script continuosly. have a look at it, it's pretty simple and this is where I learned to make loop scripts.

at work hu? HA HA HA!!! j/k
o
yes
by the way i could not find it!

use this:

Code: [Select]

#loop

_camera camsettarget plane_name
_camera camcommit 0
@camcommitted _camera

~0.01

?not stop_following : goto "loop"
create a trigger over where you want the plane to be when you stop looking at it, group the trigger to the plane, and in the 'on activation' field put

Code: [Select]

stop_following = true
that way the camera will target the plane, keep targeting it until the plane reaches the trigger, and then continue through your camera script as normal.
