Editor Dude (Formerly Mr. Editor Guy)

[swtx 42]

This is my first release for the Arma Series. All the props go to Matt R and Mr-Murry for this unique and useful addon. I just converted it to Arma2.

Editor Dude (formerly known as Mr. Editor Guy), is a useful tool for making editing movies in Arma2. You can "teleport", run the game in "Slowmotion"

and even use Camera.sqs. All from the player action menu in-game.

When you use camera.sqs just use the bulldozer controls W,A,S,D to move the camera. Use Q and Z to move the camera up and down. On your keypad, use 8 and 2 to pan up and down. And finally use 4 and 6 to pan left and right.

Enjoy !

You should just be able to put this in the units init box:

this exec "Camera.sqs";

Then just fire up the Preview.

I haven't tried this yet but that's how you do it normally.

EDIT:

DL this for help learning how to use the Camera.sqs. The page is in German but an English version is included in the DL. A great resource.

How do I turn slo mo on ?

[cpl_hicks 2]

Thanks alot for your time on this!

However, I am a little confused as I was already able to use the camera.sqs and setacctime before "editordude" so what does editor do exactly and what does it add that cant already be done in the arma 2 editor with init and triggers and stuff already?

Is it or does it have an interface?

What does it do or add?

I put it in the addons as instructed...

Again thanks for your time...

Its to help people who know squat about all that editing code to add into inits. You can Slow Mo from the action menu i think you can access the camera from the editing menu. I also belive the guy is invincible too so you can walked into enemy fire to test things etc all depends on how he set this addon up but if it was the same than the first then its all good.

[cpl_hicks 2]

Ok thanks, but its still unclear where I would do this..

So basically I go into editor, then lets say I am starting from scratch I would then create a unit, then once I have the unit if I preview I can use camera or slow time with the action menu?

can any1 see anything wrong with the scripts i have made going by the AMS_camscripting tutorial

#loop

_camera camsettarget UH60

_camera camsetrelpos [-10,0,10]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700

_camera camCommit 0

@ camCommitted_camera

? Man1 distance Car2 <=5 : goto "Loop2"

goto "loop"

#loop2

_camera camsettarget Car2

_camera camsetrelpos [8,-15,3]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700

_camera camCommit 0

@ camCommitted_camera

? Man1 distance Officer <=10 : goto "Endszene"

goto "loop2"

#Endszene

titlecut ["","BLACK Out",5]

~1

Player camerEffect ["terminate","back"]

camDestroy_camera

ende1=true;

Exit;

this is just the end of it by the way but its the onli bit messin up the rest is good
