Here's a simple example

Code: [Select]

_cam = "camera" camcreate [3216.01,3603.55,14.62]
_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]
_cam camSetTarget [-51544.96,83057.15,-27502.45]
_cam camSetPos [2565.25,3636.74,17.68]
_cam camSetFOV 0.771
_cam camCommit 0
@camCommitted _cam
~2
_cam camSetTarget [-51544.96,83057.15,-27502.44]
_cam camSetPos [2552.67,3659.52,8.56]
_cam camSetFOV 0.771
_cam camCommit 3
@camCommitted _cam
~1
you have to create a camera before anything else  ;D (the first two lines of code)

 You should check out the  camscripting tutorials by snYpir and Messiah that can be found here: http://www.ofpec.com/editors/browse.php?category=1_3


basically the numbers in those lines refer to the exact coordinates of a spot on whatever island your cam script is going to be run on ...


you can just as easily  name any unit/object and refer to that name in your camera script. which would look like this:

_cam camSetTarget unit/object name
_cam camsetrelpos [x,y,z]

camsetrelpos sets the x,y,z position of the camera relative to the object that the camera has been pointed at in the camsettarget command.

you should run through those two tutorials and you should have a fairly good grasp of camera scripting afterwards
