Some help needed here

[dmay 0]

three things I'm trying to do I need help with before I go insane: (searched but couldn't find anything usefull)

1, How do I return a map coord (x,y,z) to the player when stepping through a trigger? (so I can do a camcreate at the same possition)

2, What do I need to put in my script to create a camera inside the cockpit of a plane (following a waypoint) so I can see the pilot flying it with a duration of several minutes?

3, Is there a way to have a waypoint appear to the player only when a condition is met such as a trigger activated?

(I tried setting the waypoints condition to false but it still appears as soon as the game starts)

Thanks in advance

there should be a command called 'camsetrelpos' in official command reference.

for question 1, say your making an explosion at the same position as somebody all you do is

explosion = "shell125" camcreate getpos playername

or

man setpos getpos playername

or

man setpos (getpos playername)

yes I know that but I would like to know how to see the x y z of the players possition in the map so I can do a camera script like:

_camera = "camera" camCreate [8000,4000,74]

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]

setacctime 1.0

Ahh, yes so there is,

_camera camSetRelPos [10,5]

that should help, thanks RalphWiggum

While messing around with a few things I've discovered you can moveincargo or moveindriver a game logic unit so the player can't drive a vehicle or when made to 'get in back of truck' he will do instead of the passanger side. Just thought I'd share that with you.

Hmm, camsetrelpos doesn't work, this is my script:

_camera = "camera" camCreate getpos pilot

_camera camSetTarget getPos pilot

_camera camSetRelPos [10,5]

setacctime 1.0

enableRadio false

~10

player cameraEffect ["terminate","back"]

camDestroy _camera

Over=true

All I get is 'generic error in expression' when it is run.
