Stalker Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I am able to make some long cinematics but now I have a question: Can I place the camera e.g. at a black hawk and let it fly around?? is this possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
San Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Don't forget to hit the PLAY button before you attach it, because once he's in the air you'll need long arms to reach it, hehe, j/k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

X69RZX Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 I don't think so Stalker, if I'm not mistaken, the camera will switch to that position, but not follow the craft. You can switch it to the default view to see through the eyes of the player actor, if they are on/in the vehicle. I don't think that is what you are trying to do. Your best bet is to make several "shots" from the desired point to the desired target, perhaps one or two second intervals, That way as the chopper is about to fly off of the screen the camera will switch and bring it back into view. You can create some really cool cinematics with the proper timing. I've made one that is five minutes long, it just takes alot of patience and timing. Hope that helps some.

Stalker Posted July 1, 2003 Author Share Posted July 1, 2003 missunderstood I wanted to know: When I choose the CameraSwitch response: .Place Camera at >Position< facing >Target< and when >position< is a moving vehicle and >target< is another moving vehicle................... does this work??

X69RZX Posted July 1, 2003 Share Posted July 1, 2003 I understood, , try it, you will see from where the chopper is for about a split second, then you will see the chopper leave the view, and the camera will remain in the location of the chopper at the instant you did the camera switch. It won't follow a moving target either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EricJ Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 Or pull the camera back so when it switches to the helo, you won't just get a split second view, more or less around 10 secs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt03 Posted July 8, 2003 Share Posted July 8, 2003 I just found out that this is possible but it doesn't look too great. If you setup you first camera switch with your Insert A script blaocks with a trigger (time elapsed) of 1 second and your responses to a block preserve and camera switch to the camera and the black hawk it will follow it but there is a delay and the switch looks choppy. If you want to disable the camera switch just setup a timer to go off when you enable the Insert A script block for however long you want it and disable the Insert A Script block and enable the Insert B script blcoks and do your next camera switch. I haven't tried to end the first camera so I don't know exactly if it will work. But it should work in theory. If you work at it you might be able to get the camera to pan smoothly. but that will take a lot of scripting and a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack57 Posted July 9, 2003 Share Posted July 9, 2003 Yes it is a lot of work! I have tried it with up to about 25 changes per second and it still looks choppy, so I gave up. That's 50 script blocks for two seconds of cine If it aint smooth it just doesn't look right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stalker Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 (edited) That's 50 script blocks for two seconds of cine with a good cinematic this mission will be up to 10MB Edited July 9, 2003 by Stalker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
