Im trying to write software to behave like a "motion tracking camera".
Basically, there are vectors in a list, which are recalled, the avatar (wearing the camera object) moves to them one by one.
I need to force the mouselook, when the avatar is going through the vectors. (So the screen can be recorded).
After trawling throu the forums, it seems the avatar has to sit on the object??

Is this still true, if so, is there another way around this problem?
It sems silly, to have to stop wearing the camera, only to have to sit on it!!!!

Any help gratefully received..or any other ideas/functions I could look at...

Thanks

Nope. The only way you can "force" mouselook is via llForceMouselook(), and it only works when someone sits on the object.

You *might* see if you can get llSetCameraParams to approximate what you want to do, but it won't be able to force a user into mouselook.
