Example Scripts
Nose Camera
This script place a camera on the nose of an apache.
To use:
1. Make a mission with a token player on the ground, an an apache w/ AI crew 2. Save the mission 3. Find the mission folder in My Documents/VBS2/mpmission/the_new_mission 4. Create a new sqf filed (text) named apache.txt
#include "\vbs2\headers\function_library.hpp"
_forever = true;
_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
_camera = "camera" camcreate _locationPosition;
_camera cameraEffect["internal","back"];
//_camera CamSetDir 0;
_camera CamSetFOV 1;
_camera camSetTarget _locationPosition;
//_camera CamSetPos [_locationPosition Select 0,(_locationPosition Select 1) + 2, 5];
_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
_camera CamSetFOV 0.7;
_camera CamCommit 0;
while {(_forever)} do {
_locationPosition = GetPos apache;
_locationPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,6,2];
_targetPosition = apache modelToWorld [0,100,0];
_camera camsettarget _targetPosition;
_camera CamSetPos _locationPosition;
_camera CamCommit 0;
sleep 0.005;
};
Notes:
* For the life of me I could not control the bank angle of the camera. Tried to use CamSetBank but no dice!
UAV Shadow

while {(_forever)} do {
_pos = position player;
_x = 100+(_pos select 0);
_y = (_pos select 1);
_z = 1000+(_pos select 2);
_dest = [_x,_y,_z];
