switch camera troubles

[456820]

okay im having some troble with switch camera ive made a bmp target a game logic and then switch the camera like this
bmp1 switchcamera "Gunner"
~2
bmp1 dotarget gl2

but it doesnt show through the optics just waits at the last camera position until its told to move to its next position any suggestions?

EDIT
also i can get it to work in mission but not in my intro or outro but when i do it in mission and tell the camera to target the player (wich isright after the switch camera) the camera goes into the sea so i tried to switch the camera to External and see if that would help but no luck.

The switchcamera is for ingame use - for the intro you will
need the cameraeffect command.

If you've managed to get a BMP to target a gamelogic, you're the first person who ever has...... But I suspect that you haven't which is why the BMP doesn't do anything.   GLs can't be targetted.

it appears that i havei set the bmp to look away from the game logic and when i zoom into it it has the turret facing over to the gl so i was guessing it can plus i think i saw somewhere that gl's can be targeted it was either here of te bi frums.
also how do i use camera effect i looked in the comref but it doesnt say how to use the gunner's view just positions

Gamelogic's can't be targetted

But the doWatch command would work - but this would make the whole bmp turn to direction of the gamelogic

ok cheers ill try dowatch command but if switchcamera only works in mission what is the correct camera effect, and also whats the default switch camera setting.

right ive solved that so far but whilst starting a new mission wich has a switch camera code in the mission so when i tell the camera to white out and exit it just ingnores me stays whited out and wont go back to the players view
