So I would say everyone is getting sick of me posting topics at this rate but anyway you know all those fragmovies and they get another angle so you can see that it was an awesome kill from another angle or something, could someone explain how to do this please? As far as i know pldx arrow keys only move around the character being played so.. I’m at a loss.

Elaborate please? I’m an idiot and I don’t know any of this ‘high tech’ stuff

You can smooth a POV demo, see here for a tutorial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0EFVW7cdMk

its css but it’s a sick tutorial nonetheless. pretty much covers everything, just make sure when you’re going to ‘process’ when you’ve smoothed the demo that you choose spline angles and spline origin.
hope that helped :)

ty for all the help guys ;)

erm actually drive doesn’t help at all as it is completely for moving the player around I want to move the camera not the player. The reason is I got an airshot falling off the spir in badlands and I want to record it but you can’t see the med being gibbed so I need to move the camera to a different angle so you can see the med being gibbed as in move the camera to the top of the spire to see the med.

while smoothing, _the player is the camera_, so probably you need an another pov, who was in the near

btw:
you can’t smooth while the player is dead
you ‘can’t’ smooth if the smoothed player is too far or a massive wall blocks the view, or the models will disappear
