GetCameraPos

llGetCameraPos

Summary

Function: vector llGetCameraPos( );

303	Function ID
0.0	Forced Delay
10.0	Energy

Returns a vector that is the current camera position for the agent the task has permissions for.

To run this function the script must request the PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA permission with llRequestPermissions.

Caveats

Permissions

Do not depend upon the auto-grant status of permissions. Always use the run_time_permissions event. If the script lacks the permission PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA, the script will shout an error on DEBUG_CHANNEL and the operation fails (but the script continues to run). Once the PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA permission is granted there is no way to revoke it except from inside the script (for example, with a new llRequestPermissions call) or the script is reset or deleted.

• Seems to act weird when the camera gets too far from the agent.
