Title: How to add script or add the Camera.sqs script
Post by: Danakin1 on 17 May 2008, 18:06:28

OK, So I'm trying to add or use the camera.sqs script.  To use this, I am supposed to add something to a unit that I created.
this exec "camera.sqs"
Where the heck do I add this?  It says to type this in the Inital field, but I have no idea how to access that.
When I create the unit, I only have option to select the type of unit...  That's it.  I cannot find any place to add text or script or anything.

I am obviously new to all this and just understanding the scripting thing.  Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Danakin

Not being an expert here, but this is an easy question, and probably should be in the general section and not in the addons & mods section.

Simple answer: Your editor is in the wrong mode. When you are in the editor mode, in the top right hand corner there is a word which probably says 'Easy' on yours. Just click on it and it will change to 'Advanced'. This will allow you more options with your units and other things. Therefore, when you create or edit a unit there will be an init field in which to type:

Code: [Select]

this exec "camera.sqs"
Should work  :) :good:

@Danakin you can use the intro, or put it in the init file or a trigger west present and other ways too!
