can it be done?
« on: 16 Jan 2003, 23:44:16 »
ok i have a question, i haven't seen it done before so im not sure ifit's even possible.....

Is it possible to attach a camera to a bomb and have a view much like the real life AGM's , and have it destroyed when the bomb hits.... just an idea i had but i wondered if it was possible and how i might go about doing it.

something of what i'd like to have is a view from outside a plane, watch it launch the bomb/missle, then switch to the bomb-mounted cam and watch as it hits the target and blacks out.... just so ya can get an idea of what i had in mind...

thanks

I think Sefe wrote a missile script like that where you can point the trajectory of a missile and then create a camera and have it follow the same path as the missile but right now no theres no way to do that because the missiles are given names when they are rendered ingame and theres no way to know the missile name but if you wanted to do it with a bomb that is possible because you can have the camera follow the Plane then camCreate a bomb under the plane and then attach a camera to the bomb that you create which means it has a name so you can track it with a camera. Hope I helped you and didnt confuse you. If you need help I cant help you because my OFP copy is bit in half but ask around if you need some help.

k conflict yes it can be done...but it might be a little advanced....first u need to create the camera then use nearest object to find the bomb, then once u have found the bomb it will stay on it as though it were attached. Once that is all done u could either have a thing that detects when the bomb is exploded and go to a black screen or go to another camera.
