Camera Scripting Question

[cnav]

This is a bit random, but I'm hoping somebody may be able to answer this question. I'm attempting to write my own config that will in essence be a camera script during demo playback. I'm very early on in this process and I've come to my first obvious question. I'm using commands like +freecam_turnleft, +freecam_turnright, +freecam_turnup, +freecam_turndown, +freecam_rollleft, +freecam_rollright...etc, yet I've hit a wall. When I write my config, the script executes all simultaneously. This is good for lines like "+freecam_rollleft; +freecam_turndown" or something like that, but when I want to do something simple like go forward for about 5 seconds, it dosen't go as expected. My questions is this, how do I time out these commands so that they will execute in some fashion in which I can time. IE "+forward for 4 seconds, +moveright for 2 seconds...etc"

I tried b_demo_freecamspeed, timescale and a few other things, but I can't get this to flow right still. Any ideas?

Thats with GTK. I'm trying to do this without using that method. Its harder this way, but has alot more capabilities. I'm trying to encapsulate it in a .cfg file using just the freecam/movement commands.

Maybe use the wait command.
eg.

+forward
wait 400 //thats 4 seconds
-forward

wait 400 //thats 4 seconds

no, that's 200 frames (at 76fps, it's a little under 3 secs)
also remember you're very voulnerable during waits (you can't turn but you can strafe), don't know all the commands that are affected, but this is a big one

I don't think vulnerability is an issue with a scripted camera ^_^

sorry, just pointing some things out... habit

You should be able to do it with extensive use of exec_at_time
