Camera Script

[silente13 11]

Hello guys! I'm trying to script a camera. First of all i called a fuction in editor, so far so good. Then i try to script it. I mean: i want when the player enter in the mission (so i do a file called "intro.sqs") the camera starts to follow the path after the player select the respawn. But the camera don't start. This is the code for intro.sqs

playsound "pula";
showcinemaborder true;
_cam = "Camera" camcreate [102027.29,14225.88,17913.21]
_cam camsettarget [102027.29,14225.88,17913.21]
_cam cameraeffect ["INTERNAL","BACK"]

titlecut ["","black out",1]
126 cutRsc ["we","PLAIN",0]
~1

TitleRsc ["intro1","plain",1]
;;TitleRsc ["intro2","plain",1]
titlecut ["","black in",3]
;1 is the fastest speed of fade in of text
;use 10 to make fading in very slow
_cam camsettarget [89576.03,14084.74,-51125.26]
_cam camsetrelpos [-10,-111,20]
_cam camcommit 0
camcommitted _cam
~10

TitleRsc ["intro2","plain",1]
_cam camsettarget [89576.03,14084.74,-51125.26]
_cam camsetrelpos [-10,-111,30]
_cam camcommit 33
camcommitted _cam


titleText ["intro3","plain",1]
_cam camsettarget [96431.42,14162.46,-37244.72]
_cam camsetrelpos [-10, -111, 30]
_cam camcommit 0
camcommitted _cam

~5
;wait 10 seconds for the transition,the camera will stop @ 7 and stay for 3 seconds
;then exits
_cam cameraeffect ["TERMINATE","BACK"]
camdestroy _cam
125 cutRsc ["fake","PLAIN",0];
126 cutRsc ["fake","PLAIN",0];

It looks like you need to switch the player's view to the camera. Try switchCamera.

_cam switchCamera "Internal";

Might work. To be honest I don't know that much about cameras, but I have to learn soon for something I'm working on.

Are you trying to make something cinematic? if so, here is what it should look like.

It has a lot of AI scripting but everything you need camera wise is in there.

 

Hope it helps.

It's not like a really cinematic but we can call it like that. Now the camera work but when it change position it's like bugged. I can see just blue like a sea with texture of dirt. I don't know why. Thank's for help guys!
