Title: Simple camera script
Post by: JPSelter on 05 Sep 2005, 12:17:26

I never made a scripted camera ride. What I learned the last days is that I need to execute a script like "mycamera.sqs". But how does this script look like?

Here is what I need: I have a coop-mission where I conquer (nearly) the whole island. I start on Everon in the south-east and then conquer village by village to th northern airport. When successfully reaching the north coast a camera ride should review the complete island. I just need a single camera ride from the first village to the airport. So I need waypoints for the camera for each village. But how do I do that? Can someone give me a simple script?

hi there, why dont you try using camera.sqs its a script that allow you to position the camera visually. in one of the unit init field type this exec "camera.sqs" then start your mission

Quote

to move forwards press w, backwards s, left a and right d. also use 2 to look down, 8 to look up, 4 to look left and 6 to look right

then all you need to do is press ctrl, alt-tab out of flashpoint and paste it into your script, remember to position your camera  ;)


did this help?

Go to the Editors Depot and read snYpir's Camera tutorial.     Then get my Tutorial Mission and look at the very simple camera script in there.   Lastly get messiah's camera.sqs tute, which gives more detail on the trick Typhoon mentioned:  this will help you to film you scene.
