:movie_camera: CinematicCam

The CinematicCam provides the user with an easy to use “additional” camera, that can be moved freely in the world. Additionally it can be attached to any npc/player/vehicle in the game in order to provide something similar to a “Dashcam” or just for fancy screenshots or videos.
You can set it on a specific position and angle relative to your character and the camera will move with the entity.

oh sorry… I’ll edit the description…

It requires NativeUILua by Frazzle:

And I am glad you all like it :slight_smile:

Damn, i heard there was a client side script for this. But its cool now its server side!

9

What exactly do you mean? This script is completely client side. I plan on doing something for my own server (a permission based system) but that won’t be in the official release.

it is server sided

11

Oooh… I know what you mean now… sorry for that :smiley:

Yea, you put it in the server, so every player on your server can use it but there is actually no client-server communication going on in this script… that is why I was confused :slight_smile:

12

ahh okay

13

It doesnt work for some reason :frowning:

14

What exactly doesn’t work?

Do you have a client or server log for me to look into?

15

i only have a grpahics mod clientsides and i installed the resources like i do with everything, when i type in chat /free… it say’s /freecam but when i press enter i dont see a menu or something :frowning:

16

It seems like you don’t have NativeUI in your resources.
It is needed in order to actually make the menu show up.

If it is installed, please provide me with a server and/or client log, so I can check it :slight_smile:

If you use Discord, feel free to message me there Kiminaze#9097

The FreeCam Is so Nice Thanks Mate !

18

An if disabling it attaching to the player would be nice. Note that you probably will need to use SetFocusArea respectively.
