I am looking to make a script in which the player will enter a zone. At that point the camera will break away from the player, fly to a spot on the map (to show a good path to take, an enemy, etc), then return back to the player (either by reversing path or instantaneously). I am however still wrapping my head around the whole scripting thing. So that being said here is my horrible script so far that does absolutely nothing. What I'm looking for is either an example to follow or a push in the right direction. Thanks Guys.

When you want the camera to be viewed, you need to use "viewcam=flycam". Then to return to the player camera, use "viewcam=0" (That's a zero, not an O )

Also, the camera positions must be in UNITS, not in segments. Take the segment you want the camera to be in and multiply by 100 to get units. You may have to subtract 50 from that to put the camera in the center of the segment.


Hope that helps nudge you in the right direction.

Yes, the "makecamera" command creates the camera, which needs to be done before it can be used, but only needs to be done once.

Thanks, Buddy. I'm starting to get it work. Quite a way to go though to get the full effect I'm looking for. But this has at least got the camera to show.
