Title: Having trouble making camera switch perspectives
Post by: Chammy on 02 Sep 2004, 12:18:03

I have a camera facing a heli as it flys away but I want it to change positions and be facing up towards the heli as it lands.I dont know how to execute that,and i tried to find an explanation.Plz help?

I wish there was a tutorial about total scripting with JUST the mission editor and not scripts.:(  I must be ADD cause i just dont understand alot of the explnations,or dumb? :'(

The relevant tutorials are:-

snYpir's Intro to camera scripting

messiah's camera.sqs (so easy and so useful)

Blanco's logiccam script (for attaching cameras to vehicles)

Making cutscenes with JUST the editor is far more difficult than via scripting imo.
It's like editing in EASY mode...  :)
