|descr= Sets the orientation of the given camera in the direction of the given vector. Needs camCommit. Since Arma 3 logo black.png 0.50, only the second syntax with a Vector3D is available.

|s1= camera camSetDir azimuth

|p11= camera: Object - object of type "camera"

|p12= azimuth: Number - camera azimuth

|s2= camera camSetDir direction

|p21= camera: Object - object of type "camera"

|p22= direction: [[Vector3D] - direction of camera. Must be a valid vector.

|r1= Nothing

|x1= Since Arma 3:

private _pos1 = player modelToWorld [0, 5, 5]; private _pos2 = player modelToWorld [0, 50, 50]; private _cam = "camera" camCreate _pos1; _cam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK"]; _cam camSetPos _pos2; _cam camSetDir (_pos2 vectorFromTo _pos1); _cam camCommit 5; waitUntil { camCommitted _cam }; _cam camSetPos _pos1; _cam camCommit 5;

|x2= Before Arma 3:

private _pos1 = player modelToWorld [0, 5, 5]; private _pos2 = player modelToWorld [0, 50, 50]; private _cam = "camera" camCreate _pos1; _cam cameraEffect ["INTERNAL", "BACK"]; _cam camSetPos _pos2; _cam camSetDir 180; _cam camCommit 5; waitUntil { camCommitted _cam }; _cam camSetPos _pos1; _cam camCommit 5;

cameraEffect "INTERNAL" works better than "EXTERNAL" with this command.
