Helmet cam - PIP, anyone?

[fortun 14]

Anyone knows a script that works for a Mission?

I tested this

http://www.armaholic.com/forums.php?m=posts&q=21300

But getting error on line 67, unknown variable hcam_cam when closing the camera - alt + *.

So anyone that knows another script that can do the same but that works?

Do you have CBA enabled?

CBA is a mod for ArmA 3

Hmmm, I haven't used it myself for a while but normally it should still work fine.

I'll give it a try with the current version, but I guess the issue is probably on your end.

The guys from BWmod also have a helmet-cam included. Not as a standalone script though and not with the same precision regarding the head-movement.

Aside from that, I know of no other scripts that do this.

Hello again. Thanks for answers.

As i understood, for the script version you don´t need the CBA? Using it for one of my mission.

However.

Line 67, unknown variable.

Seeing it everytime with

-showScriptErrors

Also in your test mission that is with the package. Tested on two different computers. Happens everytime when trying to close down the PIP with alt + *

Also, seems as its not working if you have saved a mission and loads it again.

Hi Tajin,

I got this error as well, so I modified the condition to this and it works fine now:

while {not isNil {hcam_cam} and {not isNull hcam_cam}} do {
   // your cool head cam stuff
};

I think the error is to do with either dead units, or deleted objects. Not sure which so testing for nil var and then null object seems to cure it. I can probably explain it better when I'm sober, but it is very late and I can't get it together. Anyway, that code should fix it. :)

@fortuN - You should not give up on this sort of thing too easy! :)

[Tajin 349]

Ah thanks, that sounds about right – deleted units could certainly cause problems without that safety check.

Guess I'll have to get around to updating this thing again.

Would be easier if ArmA didn't give me so many other ideas for things that could be scripted/modded. ^^

Thanks for the help!

However. Seems like still trouble

When put like this

// Ready!
hcam_active = true;
_camOn = false;


// start cam-update loop
while {not isNil {hcam_cam} and {not isNull hcam_cam}} do {


// destroy camera and cancel the loop if player closes the liveFeed or takes off his tactical glasses.
if ( !( (goggles player) in hcam_goggles ) ) then { {

i get error on

Input.sqf

Line 35 Hcam_cam Undefined Variable.

Edit* Seems like the error above was because i tested it to early before it loaded correctly

However

Also, is it possible to make so that not all of your group members are "viewable" in PIP? I have a hostage mission, and i don't want to be able to watch the hostage in PIP.

Seems that the vehicle view is not working either (Just some things i noticed while playing through my mission some times)

Easiest way to do so: Don't give your hostage a helmet.

[fortun 14]

Then, there must be a bug in the script, cause not any of the units has helms, not even the soldiers. Just bandanas.

And the hostages is just civilians without anything at all except clothes.

Addond don't work in MULTIPLAYER with VIRTUAL AMMOBOX.

Work only if with DEFAULT CLASS we have TACTICAL GLASSES.

Fix Fast Please.
