[T2 Request] Camera movement - please help...

Camera movement in all FPS games is very simple. It is a serious obstacle during movie production. Shots are simple and not smooth enough. I thought a lot how to do better shots and I have an idea. Unfortunately I'm not a great scripter, so I am unable to write script by myself.

I need a script with a small configuration window, where I can define a few parameters:

- three movement offsets: dx, dy, dz
- three camera rotation (orientation) angles: drx, dry, drz
- duration of the movement: t (precision 0.1 s if possible)
- initial movement acceleration value: a1
- duration of initial acceleration: ta1
- initial rotate acceleration value: ra1
- duration of initial rotate acceleration: tra1
- final movement acceleration value: a2
- duration of final acceleration: ta2
- final rotate acceleration value: ra1
- duration of final rotate acceleration: tra1

I would like to define these parameters before game. During match I would like to press "execute" key (maybe keys? I could define a few shots at once...) and my camera should reproduce defined movement starting in place where it is.

Is it possible to do something like that? If yes, who could do that?

i don't know anything about what you're asking, but my idea was, if you are getting material from demos, you could turn your mouse sensitivity down to the lowest setting, to get smooth camera movement.

I made "Travel" with low sensitivity. It is insufficient and hard to repeat during directed shots.

Maybe Squirrel of Death could help here? He's good at making objects move along a certain path (RoboRoute).

I was thinking about it... you can script camera movement easily with schedule statements.. what I want to do is make a "smoother" which takes your mouse input and calculates a smoothed form of it... maybe slightly lagged

Also, I've been getting lazier. Just give me time and maybe one day I'll make it...
