[Aerotactics]

Introduction
It's been too long since I've released a script, so I figure now is the time. Sorry for a short intro, but it is a simple script. I wrote it from scratch after all the other camera scripts I found felt constrictive, and any admin flight scripts were outdated -- this is not recommended as an admin flight script, however it can achieve similar goals. Anyone who used my script liked it, and I still use it often.

How It Works
An object is created, and the player's camera is attached to the object. This allows for full camera "look" using the mouse. The object is moved by using the arrow keys and shift/space, and does not change by the way you are facing. Think of it like a tank. The mouse moves the gun, while the controls move the tank. Note: the object does not turn, it swivels in place.

Meanwhile, the player is spawned at z = -30 and boxed in. It is possible to fly down to this box and see yourself. As you move with the camera, your player will follow you. When you deactivate the camera, your player is spawned at the camera's position.

Conclusion
I am definitely open to suggestions. Feel free to leave feedback. All commands and controls can be found in the script, and/or when you connect.

Known Bugs
-Only works for base player (ID 0) - most Likely fixed in next update, needs testing

Next Update - What to Expect (Updated 8/29)
-3 new special camera modes - ~80% complete
-FULL 3D movement - 100% complete
-Movement tweaks to accompany the new movement controls - Done?
-Credits CMD - 100% complete (was going to be a clickable textdraw, couldn't get it to work)

Full Changelog
-Added Textdraws for object angle and direction
-Added hud toggle command

Good Job I really like it.

[Rudy_]

awsm, THnx

[MicroD]

Tell me why I should use your free cam instead of one that is packed in default samp server?
However good job.

[SkillNasr]

it like camhack Ty i have search em for my videos samp
AWESOME !

[ScRipTerZ]

Nice man

[Aerotactics]

Thanks all. Any suggestions? Anything that can be improved?

If you mean the fly mode, it stutters and you can see your player in that ugly falling animation. This camera moves fluidly, and that's why it's so likable.

Just an question how people record tutorials and show them when player register or more...

[Cannary2048]

Nice camera bro.

Use a timer to change camera positions and use InterpolateCameraPos
