Title: n00b cutscene question
Post by: CommanderDJ on November 21, 2010, 07:01:48 am

Hey guys,
I'm attempting to do my first cutscene in FRED, which takes place at the end of a mission. I just want one shot: I want the camera to be behind an Elysium transport, facing it as it is entering subspace. However, I want the camera to slowly be moving back as the transport is departing, and then fade out. I've got an idea of how to do everything except the moving camera. Is it possible to make the camera follow waypoints or something?

Use set-camera-position with a fourth argument, a fifth if you want it to accelerate/decelerate, and a sixth if you want it to decelerate slower/faster than it accelerated.

So I would create two events, one with the initial set-camera-position to set it behind the transport, then another for the final position and just set the turn time appropriately?

Yep, that's what I recall working.
