Cam Script-ADD Cam Problem

[santafee 10]

I remember having that problem one time ago, now there it is again.

Im starting with a simple loop, to attach my cam to HELI1, but the camera is flickering every 5 secounds when restarting the loop.

Im a scripting noob, help would be appreciated, thanks!

note that the intro is only the start, so the code is not completed for sure.

titleText ["","BLACK IN",20]

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

_camera cameraeffect ["internal", "back"]

_camera camPrepareTarget Heli1

_camera camPreparePos [15390.04,10038.40,1.40]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.300

_camera camCommitPrepared 0

@camCommitted _camera

~10

#RETURN1

_camera camsettarget Heli1

_camera camsetrelpos [-25,12,15]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700

_camera camCommit 0

@camCommitted _camera

? Heli1 distance Pos1 <20 : goto "Endsequenz"

goto "RETURN1"

#Endsequenz

exit

ya im having the same problem, with my attach cam to car as well, its all jerky, when it refreshs, only thing i found was that if i removed a bunch of other stuff like other vechiles and waypoints and stuff then it seemed to go fine, but i like to have the ambience in my intros, and cannot figure out what else to do

are u using any addons?

i remember as i had the problem some time ago, that it worked with vanilla version and ACE 2 seems to be the reason for the problem, but im not sure.

i also created a ticket at Dev Heaven for it..:

would be nice if somebody got any ideas

ya the 2 addons im using are the mec units, ACE2 and the zombie, mod. when i saw the jerkness of the cam, i went onto utes island, and placed about 1/2 of the units and waypoints, running the same mod, and it wasn't jerky at all, so i think its something with too much stuff going on at once, making the script run slow for some reason, cause on the actual map i wanna use it on, i have 3 littlebirds, 2 hummers, a-10, all with multipule waypoints, 3 guys on patrol, that finish with an animation, and 4 other units that all have animations, everything is fine except when i place the cam on the car, so im assuming that is the issue, just too much stuff going on. I could be wrong and hope im wrong. hehe

Try to use the camsetrelpos command...

_camera camsettarget Heli1;
_camera camsetrelpos [-25,12,15];
....
....

This video explains how to use that command:

Still makes me jerky sometimes though.
