Description

Description:

Create a camera or a seagull object on the given position. Also other objects can be created this way, but vehicles created with camCreate cannot be entered. Any units created with camCreate will remain static. Differently to createVehicle, objects are created without consideration of the collision detection with surrounding objects, thus the objects are spawned exactly at the given position. camCreate is conducted immediately, the command doesn't wait for camCommit.

Multiplayer:

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

Groups:

Notes from before the conversion: (CWR 1.91) createVehicle is a valid replacement (with special consideration to locality). You can also use camCreate to create objects. flare1 = "flare" camCreate getPos gameLogic_1 However, soldier units created in this way have little or no AI.
