: : : Is it possible to attach a thing to the player and then make that thing the camera and still have it so the player
: : : can move just like regular. And if it is, would it be possible for that thing to swing around the player, mabye
: : : goto a random frame. In other words, could we attach the FRAMES to the player as well. So basicly the
: : : camera would rotate around the player.
: : : Thanks in advance,

: : OK, here is an answer.
: : Yes, your idea is possible, I think thats how the darkjedi cogs were done.
: : newthing = CreateThing(ghosttemplate, player);
: : Attach stuff here
: : movement stuff here
: : Sorry, don't know enough about attach-thing to help you very much :(
: : try the Djedi specs.

: Where can one get the DarkJedi specs?
JKspecs at darkjedi.com. Anyhow, frames can't be attached to anything. Make a rotate key. Set the camera to the pos of the player. play the key. Or use the dj cutscene cog. Or the opening cutscene from seige. if it needs to happen ANYWHERE, use the first way.
