lockCameraTo

Description

Lock/Unlock stabilized camera to target. Works only on turrets which have optic mode selected with direction stabilization enabled.

Note

Since Arma 3 v2.08 the command also works with non-stabilized turrets (such as main turret of a tank). See syntax 2.

Note

The command is local to the turret gunner, not the vehicle.

Syntax

Syntax 1

vehicle lockCameraTo [target, turretPath]

Parameters:

• vehicle: Object - UAV
• target: Object or PositionASL - use objNull to unlock
• turretPath: Turret Path - path to the turret with required camera

Returns: Nothing

Important

• This syntax only works with stabilized turrets.
• When using this syntax, if target is out of possible view, the turret will move to its limit and get stuck there, with blocked input.

Syntax 2

since arma3 2.08

vehicle lockCameraTo [target, turretPath, temporary]

Parameters:

• vehicle: Object - UAV
• target: Object or PositionASL - use objNull to unlock
• turretPath: Turret Path - path to the turret with required camera
• temporary: Boolean - if set to true, the engine will automatically remove the lock-on once the turret reaches its target. If the target is out of turret's reach, once the turret reaches its limits the lock-on will be released.

Returns: Nothing

Note

This syntax also works with non-stabilized turrets, unlike #Syntax 1.

uav lockCameraTo [cursorObject, [0,0]];
