Are you using today's Dev version 0.57.105093?
This problem has just started occurring.

0.57.105007 but I think I misunderstood the situation. I though you got problems running this script so forget what I said >.<

Is there any other alternative. I need a camera to view while designing the mission and it needs to be checked in a multiplay environment.
Can I get the splendid camera function in multiplay Editor?

Have you tried ...

  • exec "camera.sqs" in the 'on activation' field or 'initialization' field

Yes I have tried for good measure but no go!. But on a side note, the camera.sqs is not really the script anymore. Inside this script there is a line to execute script: camera.sqf. It has been changed since Arma I, I believe.

I am not sure if the developers are preparing something different and put the camera.sqf out of commission or it is just one of those things that slip through the cracks of coding :)

Oh yeah, I used the camera.sqs
I don't think the sqf exist anymore or will have it on full release.
Use exec "camera.sqs" for now.

I think we got it wrong, guys. NONE of them work in this latest DEV version. Please check your version and correct me if I am wrong.

In prior Dev versions, the camera.sqs was working ONLY because in its content there was a redirect to camera.sqf. So in a sense we were always using camera.sqf, either directly or through the camera.sqs.
Also sqs format is almost faded out too.

Just put enableDebugConsole = 1; in description.ext and you'll have the debug console in multiplayer.

It supports 3 values.
0 = Only available in the editor in singleplayer.
1 = Available in singleplayer and for the host in multiplayer.
2 = Available for everyone.

Excellent!! This is exactly what I needed.
Much appreciated :)

camera.sqs restored for the backward compatibility.

Please call the camera using following method, as the .sqs script is likely to be removed again in the future:

player call BIS_fnc_cameraOld;

Mass close.
