or much easier is using 'camera.sqs':
type in any units init field (put it near where u want the camera to go) and type this exec "camera.sqs"
u will then get a camera view that u can control using the movement buttons to go forward and srafe (which u want to do) and the numpad buttons (4,8,2,6) to pan around and look.
so first u move the camera into posistion where u want it to start (start of the line) and press ctrl. Then al tab out of the editor and paste into the camera script - it will paste a complete camera command into the script for u - u just have to select the camcommit time.
then press (d) to strafe right (or whatever u have it set at) and then when u are at where u want the camera to stop u press control again and paste that into the script - adding the camcommit time you wish to have (how long it takes for the camera to move down the line)
its a little secret that ive just found that 'camera.sqs' - bis have used it since the start and ive just realised about it.
and so have u....
