Cutscene focusing on a unit when dead during mission

[Koni 1]

Ok, Im pulling my hair out on this one.

Im trying to script a camera cut scene in slow motion that will kick in during mission gameplay when a certain unit dies named "marek", but I can't for the life of me figure out how to do it.

I have tried the following script...

ShowCinemaborder false

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]

_camera = camCreate getPos marek

_camera camSetTarget marek

_camera camsetrelPos [2.2.0]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700

_camera camCommitPrepared 0

@camCommitted _camera

~2

I am using a seperate trigger with ! (alive marek) - On Act - SetAccTime 0.11500; []exec "marekdeath.sqf" which works fine for the slow motion but not the camera script.

It's something I have never done is make a cutscene to run while playing in a mission, and I guess Im doing something very wrong :(

Any help would be brilliant :)

im not sure but i guess you create the cam wrong. try something like this:

_camera = "camera" camCreate [160.41,2784.90,3.27]

with the coordinates you take from some place ingame.

[]exec "marekdeath.sqf"

You're trying to execute a .sqf via "exec". But you should use instead:

nul = [] execVM "marekdeath.sqf"

OR

[] exec "marekdeath.sq[b][color="Red"]s[/color][/b]"

I keep forgetting and mixing them up.

Anyway, sorted them, but still nothing works for a cutscene

This is my latest try...

ShowCinemaborder false

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]

_camera = "camera" camCreate getpos marek

_camera camPrepareTarget getPos marek

_camera camPrepareTarget marek

_camera camSetTarget marek

_camera camsetrelPos [2.2.0]

_camera camPrepareFOV 0.700

_camera camCommitPrepared 0

@camCommitted _camera

~4

player cameraeffect ["terminate";""back"]

camdestroy _camera

end1=true;

exit;

[moricky 199]

_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]
_camera = "camera" camCreate getpos marek

First create the camera, then modify it:

_camera = "camera" camCreate getpos marek
_camera cameraEffect ["internal","back"]
