in game camera usage

[GAU-8]

(feel free to move to discussion/thread suited more directly. not sure if goes into scripting/mission, or vids. depending on how interaction is implemented.)


been working on a few small film ideas and testing. seeing the community vids leaves me a few questions that i havent seen asked or answered in the "videos" thread yet, searched, but maybe i missed it (quickly glancing thru all 80+ pages).

is there an invisible "free camera" view, that is selectable in game? or is it an OBJECT thats selelctable, that may not be a "camera" but movmement is smooth enough so that you cant tel what vehicle the shot is taken from? some of the films you can tell arent being used by a camera "man" veiwpoint. the transitions of travel are too smooth. not like being a soldier with no weapons and using fraps, or the same thing with a tank or car. im defientely looking for a relatively "free roaming " unit or something like that.

also, in OFP the TRIGGERS had options for camera movements as well. either i am compleletely missing it somehow...or is this option not in game with ARMA. i see triggers by sound, music, actions..but nothing with camera interaction/direction.

if there are in game cameras, without actually being a "unit" are there variables to control field of view, speed, distancel and such?

thx.

Is it track-IR functional?

Also is there any way to use this script and instantly attach to another object for means of instant teleportation to the other side of the island?

Or a faster means of movement other than a shift+W with Del key toggled on?

It seems you cannot view the map while in this mode. Any way to toggle between the map and this camera.sqs mode?
