Missile Cam From any Air vehicle?

[wika_woo]

Hi, When any type of missile is launched from a hind or any other aircraft, what camera script would i use ?..

I want the Camera to follow the missile ***all the way to it's target.

I tried searching.

please help.



Thanks.

Use a fired eventhandler to get the missile object and then execute this, for example:
<table border="0" align="center" width="95%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tr><td>Code Sample </td></tr><tr><td id="CODE">
;mando_predicam.sqs
;Parameters&#58;
; Object to follow
; Horizontal camera distance to object
; Angle from where the camera tracks the object &#40;0 = same dir as object, 90 right, 180 back, 270 left&#41;
; Vertical camera distance to object
; Maximum time to keep the camera ON in seconds
; Return to previous camera true/false
;
;Example&#58;
;Follow plane1, and try to keep the camera 10 meters back to the object and 2 meters higher&#58;
;&#91;plane1, 10, 180, 2&#93;exec&#34;mando_predicam.sqs&#34;

woah.. Sorry for being noobish.

I&#39;ve never edited a mission in that kind of style. Only using the in-game editor.

You&#39;ll have to tell how to do it, by embedding it into the mission file using notepad?..

Then you may start looking for scripting in the BIS WIKI.
