Camera script problem

[Impact 10]

Hello.

I made a camera script file, but i don´t know where i should put it. In Armed Assault 1, i put it into the mission folder and it worked. Or do i have to make an intro mission for cameras? or does it also work in missions?

i also put "this exec "camfile.sqs"" into the init line of my own player unit.

or did i do something wrong in my script file?

Doesn´t anyone have an idea? An example for getting the camera to work this would help me.

You could download the "Behind Enemy Lines" mission in the User Missions Forum and unpbo it, it has an intro, so would have a camera script.

I am sure a search of this forum will provide more camera script info

I got it to work now, had to add a camera effect and focus.

But I want my camera to have a smooth stop at a position... how can this be done?

And how can I make soldiers salute without a target? I tried it with [unit] playmove "AmovPercMstpSlowWrflDnon_SaluteIn" but he doesnt do it.

No idea about the smooth stopping. If you find out lemme know.

The salute... if it needs a target, try making the unit doing it target itself?

I think smooth stopping can be archived by having the camPreparePos and the camCommitPrepared in a loop and repeatedly calling those script commands.

I managed to get the salute command to work, at first i thought i had to put it into the init line of the unit, but then i just made a trigger that activated it after time > 10 in seconds. I think i will let it this way.

_camera = "camera" camcreate [3563.17,3688.97,1.18]

_camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

_camera camPrepareTarget [3568.72,103687.10,20.30]

You can call file what ever you want like "mikey.sqs"

When you want to activate it the commande is " [] exec "mikey.sqs" " if it is in the direct mission folder.

If it's not like in script folder, you just add this " [] exec "\script\mikey.sqs" "

good luck
