If you put cam_camCommit 0 it's no wonder it's not working.
See anything wrong with that line?

It's supposed to be:

_cam camCommit 0
not
cam_camCommit 0

Flying camera

Thanks for that got it working now. Just one more things that annoying me.
I want the camera to fly over the island. So i put about 3 game logics across the island for the camera to aim at. It targets them fine but wen it moves to the next target it doesn't go in a straight line, it does go the the next target but it spins round to face the first logic and doesnt go straight but wen it gets to the next logic it spins back and gets in2 the camsetrelpos i set. Why does the camera spin round and not go straight?

because thats how camera scripting using game logic targets work... and its shite...

check out the camera.sqs tutorial in the editors depot... that will show you how to do better cutscenes without using game logics and hence cleaner cut and polished cutscenes.  ;D
