so I am trying to make a cutscene where the camera follows a character. I am using the camera_set command but it wont work because the camera doesnt move at a constant speed. there is another command called (camera_set_relative ) that is supposed to "move the camera to the next camera point relative to the specified object" whenever I use it, it moves the camera straight down out of my level. does anyone know what this command really does? will it even help me with what I am trying to do?

did you specify the object to be followed?

anyways, if it doesn't move at a constant speed, then tweak it until it does.

After looking at the command, I'm assuming what it does is that it moves the camera towards the specified camera point, while keeping it's position relative to the object. I don't really think that this will help you in what you are trying to achieve. Paste your custcene script here.

see that's the thing. I dont want to tweak it till the camera moves at constant speed because it is a pain and there has to be a better way. the people who made third person camera mod programs found a way to attach the camera to the biped. I dont know if they did it with an in game script or not but that is the kind of effect I am going for.

That's an external application. The camera normally moves at a constant speed, if you set it to such. You probably missed out on a critical step. For example:

(camera_set cam1 200)
(sleep 200)
(camera_set cam2 200)
(sleep 200)

This moves at a constant speed. It's not that hard to tweak it to a constant speed. You just need to use the correct commands in the correct sequence.

yeah those are the commands I am using.
when I say it doesn't move at a constant speed i mean it speeds up the further away it gets from one camera point and slows down as it approaches the next. and since the character is moving along a lengthy, non-linear path, it is going to be a pain to tweak. I was hoping there would be an easier way. the exterior programs have to synch up with the game script at some point.

Put the camera points closer together. That ought to do the trick. Other than that, I can't help you.
