Chase Cam

Does Anyone Know Where The Chase Camera Script Is? (ie it follows a unit)

Hello Cpt.

I guess this might be the sort of thing you are after.
Execute using [name,x,y,z] exec "tracking.sqs", where name is the unit you want to track, and x,y,z are the positions of the camera relative to the unit.


;tracking.sqs
_unit = _this select 0
_x = _this select 1
_y = _this select 2
_z = _this select 3
stoptracking = false

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]
_cam camSetTarget _unit
_cam CamSetFOV 0.7
   
#loop
~0.01
_cam camSetRelPos [_x,_y,_z]
_cam camCommit 0
? not stoptracking : goto "loop"
_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]
camdestroy _cam
exit

Hello,
     I am spending my first day figuring out how to
make these cutscenes and because of the fine
efforts put forth, I'm finding this easier then I had
expected.  So Thanks Scripters!!!
     My question deals with the position of the
camera in this script.  I understand the x, y, z,
business I guess, but it seems that I can only
see the guy I am chasing from the front right?
How do I get the camera placed behind him?
Thanks in advance, Buckner.
