Title: Camera scipt won't end
Post by: mr reality on 26 Apr 2005, 18:21:28

Can anyone tell me why my script won't end. Everything runs fine until it comes to the end of the script when it just stays in the black out screen  ???. The script is activated by a trigger at the start of my mission not in the intro part.

easy. you put

Code: [Select]

_cam cameraEffect ["terminate","back"]
The name of your camara isnt _cam, its _camera, thus your deleting a camera that doesnt exzist.

You'd be surprised how many times I've messed myself up doing exactly that.  :o For me, the problem is when I copy stuff from an old camera script that I wrote before I started using camera.sqs. The tutorial I based those scripts on used _cam instead of _camera. Now I always use _camera so no confusion happens.
