Wanted: Advanced Cam Tut

[MeKillYou]

Hello guys!

I have read a lot of tutorials(snypirs, messiahs, robs)!
But i always get a view of my squad in the start!
Propably because the cam is created near the squad!

If i want my camera to start near an enemy tank
is there a command which can do that?
And that moves camera from marker to marker and so on!

I have been trying to find a tutorial about this but
havent found any!

Could someone help me?
 ;D ;D

MeKillYou,

You need to have named ur tank with a recognisable name like (for example) we will use mekillyou in all lower case letters.

Then u exit (Alt-Tab) out of the editor and bring up the camera script that u r using for this Scene...

find the line contained in the part of the script that specifies the targetting of the tank - there should be somehting like this there -

"nameofcamera"]/i] camsettarget "nameoftarget"

so using a name for a camera of "_cam that line should look like this -

_cam camsettarget mekillyou

NOTE : what ever u use the name for the camera this has to be used thorugh out the script where changing it will result in a non working script- understand ?

I hope i have been some help if i aint - slap me hard ;D

*Rhys hides in castle ruins awaiting arrival of MeKillYou's hand ;D

I use the cam script that snypir wrote!
And that makes me see my squad for about one
sec. I dont want that to happen!
I want to see an enemy tank(named whatever you want)
and then a  enemy squad(also named whatever you want)
But i call the tank (tank1) without ()!
And soldier (soldier1) without ()
And yes i place [] exec "camera.sqs" in the on activation field!

I think i see my bloody squad because
the camera seems to be created near my squad!
Is there a command that creates camera whereever
you want it to be created?

TBH with you u should not use camera scripts that have been allready made by others and try to integrate them to ur own needs - like u have experienced - it can cause unexpectable results.. If u want me to create a camera script fo ryou send me the gfile with the mission and adn i would be happy to give u an example of one ;D

[MeKillYou]

So im not supposed to use anyones camscript and
then you say that you can make one so that i use yours
what is this?
 

I have read all the tutorials and made camscripts
that work, but not properly!

It is only the beginning when you see your own squad that
bothers me nothing else!

And the marker thing if it is possible to move camera from
marker to marker!
