Cameraman

After about two days of testing, here's an evil little script that'll help you keep an eye on your opponent.

May I present: Cameraman version 1.3!!!

Here's how it works:

1. In the console, type EXEC CAM.TXT (or place in autoexec.cfg)
2. Whenever you are ready to use cameraman, just press the zero button. The action keys will remain dead untill you do this, and you should see a little message telling you that it's ready to go.
3. Use! The controlls are as follows:

Q: Move the camera toward the player
A: Move the camera away from the player
W: Move the camera up
S: Move the camera down
Camera rotate keys (O and P): Move the camera left and right
R: Reset the camera to its default settings so you can make a quick getaway or something...

This script is capable of moving the camera up to 9,000 fracunits away from the player and +/- 1,500 fracunits up or down. This should give good results for most maps (with the exception of the 1p stages and cloud palace, but both of these have workarounds if you choose a clever spot to look from)

This has numerous advantages in tag where you need to look for your opponents, or find out where 'IT' is, but I imagine that CTF would have some use as well. ("OHMYGAWSHTHEYRETAKINOURFLAGGETOURF***INFLAGBACKFROMTHEMFORGAWSHSAKES"- You know, that type of stuff.)

Enjoy!

wow, so awesome, simple, yet useful. Nice work!

This is incredible. You win. =P

I win? YIPPEE!!!
I'd like to thank my mom and my dad and my pet finch even though I don't have one and my dog and Shadowstar and...

Are there any bugs or anything that needs to be fixed besides all those #s?
Speaking of which, how are you supposed to use comments in scripts?

I think it's either # or //

It's definately not #, so I'll try //.
EDIT: Ok, it's //. Fixed.

Sorry for the double post, but I made a variation of Cameraman.
Behold: REX.

Rex stands for Remote Explorer, and that's just what it's intended to do. Similar to Cameraman, this script has a lot more precision and a much, much larger range that allows it to do just what it was designed for: Emerald hunting and item excevation. Because it's so exact, it's a lot slower so probably isn't the thing to use for tag or something. The controls for this one are exactly the same, except E is the reset, not R.

wow...just...wow

Amazing, really

Good god your good at this. I give it two thumbs up O_O;

Boy... If you think that *THIS* is good, then you should see what Shadowstar has comin'.

This program does almost exactly what Hotdog's script does, with one major change.
You'll have to try it out and see what I mean.

COULDN'T EXECUTE FILE CAMMOD.TXT

That's strange... I could've sworn that I typed the path in correctly...
Does it allow spaces in the text box?

Did you type it in with a slash at the end?

Edit: Yes, it should allow spaces.

Yes.
C:/Program Files/Sonic Robo Blast 2/

Aw, well... I'd better get back to MSQ.

Get rid of the last slash and it will work.

Edit: By the way, your slashes are facing the wrong way.
