Simple Camera Attachment

Before people start making you pay a lot of linden for a simple script like this, i decided to hand out a free open source one. I used the available script from the LSL wiki, made mods so it simulates regular camera movement but with a little swing to it. This is something that shield users will love since you no longer have to worry about your inner shield zooming your camera up to your neck. I post this here in hopes it wil be usefull, and hopes that any bugs in it can be fixed and re posted here to correct it. The more perfected it is the better it is for you to use. pass it along and enjoy.

 key id;
 default
 {
 	attach(key id)
 	{
 		if (id == NULL_KEY)
 		{
 			if (llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA)llClearCameraParams();
 		}
 		else
 		{
 			llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA);
 			llInstantMessage(id,"Online! Camera will be facing down on you until you start walking.");
 		}
 	}
 	run_time_permissions(integer perm)
 	{
 		if (perm & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA)
 		{
 			llSetCameraParams([
 
 			CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1, // 1 is active, 0 is inactive
 			CAMERA_DISTANCE, 5.0, // ( 0.5 to 10) meters
 			CAMERA_PITCH, 10.0, // (-45 to 80) degrees
 
 			CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_ANGLE, 0.0, // (0 to 180) degrees
 			CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_LAG, 0.1, // (0 to 3) seconds
 
 			CAMERA_FOCUS_OFFSET, <0.0,0.0,1.5>, // <-10,-10,-10> to <10,10,10> meters
 
 			CAMERA_FOCUS, llGetPos(), // region-relative position
 			CAMERA_FOCUS_LAG, 0.1, // (0 to 3) seconds
 			CAMERA_FOCUS_THRESHOLD, 0.1, // (0 to 4) meters
 			CAMERA_FOCUS_LOCKED, FALSE, // (TRUE or FALSE)
 
 			CAMERA_POSITION, llGetPos(), // region-relative position
 			CAMERA_POSITION_LAG, 0.5, // (0 to 3) seconds
 			CAMERA_POSITION_THRESHOLD, 0.5, // (0 to 4) meters
 			CAMERA_POSITION_LOCKED, FALSE // (TRUE or FALSE)

Thank you so much for this script.

Hewo Frost. I've been working on this too. Its best you remove these 2 lines.
CAMERA_FOCUS, llGetPos(), // region-relative position
CAMERA_POSITION, llGetPos(), // region-relative position

Your setup would make the camera start off at a position and zoom to your avatar sometimes forcing it to view into your scalp. By removing these lines that should fix it.

Here is a improved version.

integer trigger;
default
{
    state_entry()
    {
        llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA);llOwnerSay("on");
        trigger = TRUE;
    }
    on_rez(integer start)
    {
        llResetScript();
    }
    touch_start(integer total_number)
    {
        if(!trigger){llRequestPermissions(llGetOwner(), PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA);llOwnerSay("on");trigger = TRUE;}
        else if(trigger){llClearCameraParams();llOwnerSay("off");trigger = FALSE;}
    }
    attach(key id)
    {
        if (id == NULL_KEY)
        {
            if (llGetPermissions() & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA)llClearCameraParams();
        }
        else
        {
            llRequestPermissions(id, PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA);
        }
    }
    run_time_permissions(integer perm)
    {
        if (perm & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA)
        {
            llSetCameraParams([
            CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1, // 1 is active, 0 is inactive
            CAMERA_DISTANCE, 3.0, // ( 0.5 to 10) meters
            CAMERA_PITCH, 10.0, // (-45 to 80) degrees
            CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_ANGLE, 0.0, // (0 to 180) degrees
            CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds
            CAMERA_FOCUS_OFFSET, <0.0,0.0,1.5>, // <-10,-10,-10> to <10,10,10> meters
            CAMERA_FOCUS_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds
            CAMERA_FOCUS_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters
            CAMERA_FOCUS_LOCKED, FALSE, // (TRUE or FALSE)
            CAMERA_POSITION_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds
            CAMERA_POSITION_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters
            CAMERA_POSITION_LOCKED, FALSE // (TRUE or FALSE)
            ]);
        }
    }
}

Does this 'camera' actually allow you to take pictures or snapshots? If so, is is possible to have a remote camera to take pictures of locations where you're not presently located? Like, keeping an eye on your shop or something?

Thanks!
