camCreate – Arma 3 command

Description

Create a camera or a seagull object on the given position. The creation happens immediately and doesn't wait for camCommit.

Among other commands, cameraEffect must be used to enter the camera's view and camDestroy to delete the created camera. See also Camera Control.

Important

Other objects can be created this way, but vehicles created with camCreate cannot be entered

Any unit created with camCreate will remain static

Unlike createVehicle, objects are created exactly at the given position, without consideration of the surrounding objects.
