Outstanding script Gigan, works like a charm!

It looks to be a great tool. Just a few questions. Is there a way for me to select which unit to follow? Such as from a list? I've managed to play the demo mission in the editor, but it's only available on the 'desert' island. Do I need to download something else in order to use Gcam on the other islands? Which powerful text/script editor do you recommend?

Thank you for your use GCamRec.

The unit to follow cannot be switched on the way. One camera working is one unit following.

Please execute the made camera work file many times when you want to switch to some units.

hd = [unit1] execVM "camerawork.sqf";

hd = [unit2] execVM "camerawork.sqf";

hd = [unit3] execVM "camerawork.sqf";

...

GCamRec operates only with "gcam_rec" folder. This folder is copied onto your mission folder.

Write #include "gcam_rec\gcam_rec_component.hpp" to description.ext.

And, it starts.

hd = [unit] execVM "gcam_rec\gcam_rec.sqf";

I think that the most best script writing editor is squinit.

In addition, there are some tools that do the support of writing the script.

Is anyone still using the excellent GCam addon?

[kylania 567]

I've tried a few times, but never really got the hang of it. heh

[panther42 40]

I have tried it, and really liked the features, but each time I used it, the soldier I was trying to follow would be doing the "running man"...

[twirly 11]

Great stuff. Thank you for your work Gigan....performs well.

I've just started using GCam Rec again and it reminds me of how fond I am of the addon. The 'rec' version is much easier for 'free panning'. Since you're not tracking different objects, I find the panning and zoom is a lot more smoother and easier to control. But the standard GCam is good if you want to track objects and go for more elaborate shots.

Is anyone able to do multi-axial panning?

I can like only move vertically OR horizontally, can't do both at the same time.

Also is there any way of slaving the camera movements to a joystick?

Hi Gigan. Very nice tool here:). Pertaining to following a unit with the camera, I'm not sure I understand what you mean. Is there not a way via the tools UI, to attach the camera to a unit?

It would be cool, if you could select a unit to follow simply by clicking on the units body.

I have problem with this addon, i try in ArmA2, ArmA2:CO, and ArmA2:CO+ACE2 all with the last patch version, and ever have the same issue, the 95% of time, the following camera have micro stops when follow the unit. I cant create movies with the big problem, i tried config the .hpp but not i not solve the problem.
