Open the script again and select saveAs.

Name the script with the .sqs extension and set save as type: all files.

If save as type is not set to all files then the script will save with a .txt extension for eg:

scene.sqs.txt

You can also call the script using "this exec "camera.sqs.txt;" but using the saveAs type is the prefered method.

where do i get the position of the camera from? Please help.

[keefygeorge01]

@SoulDalto

When you left click in camera view it copies the camera location to clipboard. Then all you need to do is paste it into a text editor.

I saved the script as scene.sqs but when i try to run it it says "Script scene.sqs not found."

How can I get it to be found? I have it in the right spot and am sure the script is right.

[LiveAndLetDie222]

ok when i try to play after doing all the work it cant find scene.sqs

[wormholes556]

i have a question, i have viewed all your videos and i can get the first part of the script to work, ie) camera targeting a vehicle - but the camera will not do anything other than that i.e) panning to a second location. i have copied your scripts exactly and i dont know why it isnt working

[tipster111111]

does not work. i get a scene.sqs script not found and I am sure I am doing exactly what the video says.

[SaintsSpecOps]

how do i make so the person can look around during the cutscene

[warisinteresting213]

i have used the mthod you mentioned about setting the save as type, but i still gets the message:script scene not found.. what`s wrong?

@theharester911 Hahaha. Oh brother... Perhaps you should take some computer classes before attempting to work with the creation of game content. Just saying. :-)

1:41 what is the camera position , i can't find anywhere , sorry for my english

[ThomasJeffersonMan]

I have arma 1 combat operations. can't find a good tutorial for it so i'm forced to fill in the blanks with arma 2 stuff lol. so far everything seems close enough to figure out except where I should put the camera.sqs script. i followed exactly everything but it gives me the same error message every time. "can't find "IntroCam.sqs." when i try to test it. any help would be very nice thanks.
