How to change field of view settings when camers is attached to vehicle?

[nettrucker 142]

I gotta aproblem I'm unable to resolve. I did a search but couldn't come up with useful info related to my problem.

I'm using following code

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]
_cam CamSetTarget eh4
_camera camPrepareFOV 0.180
_cam CameraEffect ["INTERNAL","Back"]
_cam CamCommit 0.01
_cam attachTo [eh4, [0,-23.5,10.2]] 
~25

changing the camPrepareFOV value has no impact. The camera FOV stays always the same.:j:

Any input is really appreciated.

thanks in advance

If by changing FOV you mean changing the camera zoom level, IIRC Mondkalb's Window of Opportunity missions use a custom script for controlling the camera including zoom level (can't check as I lost it all after an HD corruption a little while back & haven't re-downloaded yet). Maybe that (or Mondkalb :)) might give you a pointer).

I'm not having problems changing camera zoom levels as long as they are not attached to vehicles. i'm unable to change them when they're attached to . . . whatever value I put behind the " _camera camPrepareFOV" command. does not change the camera zoom level as it's suppose to. JFYI.

Thanks for your reply.
