Put the file in the mission folder.

I dont know if ArmA will preview it. OFP did.

Use:

titleText ["", "blackin"]

for, well you know.

The camera.sqs just records static positions if you press the right key and writes it into the file.

You have to copy/paste that coordinates and embedd them in your own camscript that you either have to write by yourself or use a template or an existing one from unpacked BIS missions.

thanks for all your advice but...... i know about the cutting and pasting i just want to know how you go about previewing it in editor. where to place the file what scripting you need to do to get the game to reconise it.

thanks

camscript example:

; create camera

_cam = "camera" camcreate [0,0,0]

_cam cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

; point the camera at the player, and place it 2m to the players

; left, 10m to his front and 3m above the ground

_cam camsettarget player

_cam camsetrelpos [-2,10,3]

_cam camcommit 0

; fade in from black over 2 seconds

titlecut [" ","BLACK IN",2]

; wait for 2 seconds for the fade to complete

~2

; move the camera to 5m behind the player, 2m to his left and

; 0.5m above the ground. do the move over 10 seconds, and then

; wait for 2 seconds

_cam camsetrelpos [-2,-5,0.5]

_cam camcommit 10

@camcommitted _cam

~2

; target object2, moving the camera to a relative position that

; is 3m in front, 1m to the left and 2m above the ground. Move

; over 10 seconds, then wait for 2.

_cam camsettarget object2

_cam camsetrelpos [-1,3,2]

_cam camcommit 10

@camcommitted _cam

~2

; fade out to black over 2 seconds

titlecut [" ","BLACK OUT",2]

; wait for 2 seconds for the fade to complete

~2

; end cutscene

_cam cameraeffect ["terminate", "back"]

camdestroy _cam

; fade back in over 2 seconds

titlecut [" ","BLACK IN",2]

exit

You need to insert the coordinates from your clipboard.txt

in the appropriate positions, customize the script for your mission and save it as cam1.sqs or whatever you like it to name and put it into your missionfolder. To call it use this line in OnActivation or Initline:

this exec "cam1.sqs"

I assume you are pretty new to that kind of stuff so it will help you to search the forum on "camerascripting" or check out some old tutrials from OFP on camera scripting. Google and/or use the forum search pls.
