NEED HELP OVER HERE!!!

[Rob]

2 q's.

1)how do i make a script to order certain units to move to specified objects without making wp's? i did this along time ago but now i have forgotten and seriously need to find out.

2)how do i make the camera stay it its exact relpos but zoom in with having to specify a new relpos?

[whisperFFW06]

for the 1st question, if objectName is the name of the object you want your unit to go :

unit doMove getPos objectName

Should work....

[Rob]

for zoom camera use

<camname> camSetFOV <number>

Default number = 0.7 (i think)
for zoom in decrease number (ex. 0.05) for zoom out - increase (ex. 2)

[Rob]

so if i wanted to make the cam set its target to fred and zoom in i would use....

_cam camsettarget fred
_cam camsetrelpos [0, 5, 10]
_cam camcommit 0
@<hidden> _cam
~3
_cam camsetfov 2
