Discussion: 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;

 {
 	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)

Very nice! I've integrated your code into both of my boats with no difficulty whatsoever. Thanks for taking the time to post it.
