Description

Description:

Create a camera or a seagull object on the given position. The creation happens immediately and doesn't wait for camCommit.
Among other commands, cameraEffect must be used to enter the camera's view and camDestroy to delete the created camera. See also Camera Control.

⚠

Other objects can be created this way, but vehicles created with camCreate cannot be entered
Any unit created with camCreate will remain static
Unlike createVehicle, objects are created exactly at the given position, without consideration of the surrounding objects.

Multiplayer:

camCreated objects are only visible locally (meaning they are client-side effects).

Groups:

-In multiplayer camCreated objects are only visible locally (meaning they are client-side effects). In version 1.90+ [[createVehicle]] is a valid replacement (with special consideration to locality).

-You can also use camCreate to create objects. For example: flare1 = "flare" camCreate [[getPos]] gameLogic_1 However, soldier units created in this way have little or no AI.
