NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!

[Rob 1]

2 q's.

1)how do i make a script to order certain units to move to specified objects without making wp's? i did this along time ago but now i have forgotten and seriously need to find out.

2)how do i make the camera stay it its exact relpos but zoom in with having to specify a new relpos?

for the 1st question, if objectName is the name of the object you want your unit to go :

unit doMove getPos objectName

Should work....

for zoom camera use

<camname> camSetFOV <number>

Default number = 0.7 (i think)

for zoom in decrease number (ex. 0.05) for zoom out - increase (ex. 2)

[Rob 1]

so if i wanted to make the cam set its target to fred and zoom in i would use....

_cam camsettarget fred

_cam camsetrelpos [0, 5, 10]

_cam camcommit 0

@camcommitted _cam

~3

_cam camsetfov 2

??

plz tell me a bit more..

Full script

;--------------------------

_cam = "camera" camcreate getpos fred ; Create camera on freds position.

_cam camsetrelpos [0, 5, 10] ; Move camera up and forward (or backward... dont remember, sorry ) from Fred

_cam camsettarget fred ; Set target camera to Fred

_cam camcommit 0 ; Set changes to _cam instantly

; We have camera looking to Fred

; Now, make camera zoom in to Fred

_cam camSetFOV 0.1 ; Set zooming to _cam

_cam camcommit 3 ; Set changes to _cam. Camera transition zooming to Fred from normal view to zoomed view in 3 seconds

@camcommitted _cam ; wait for camera complete command
