Camera/Cinematic Problem (going crazy..)

I just want to switch between different cameras in my intro. I have 7 cameras, mode is switched to cinematic, I apply the first camera and rotate a bit....all fine.

THEN....I command Camera - Apply camera No. 2, but no matter what I tried, all commands like Lock Orientation to Unit or whatever are executed by the first camera.

To make it clear: the trigger with the Apply camera 2 command works (>textmessage), the commands are executed, but by the wrong camera.

Do I have to Destroy/Stop/Tripple-Apply/Shoot/Nuke or F*** the damned first one to get the second running ?

PLEASE help.

From the edge of the roof....

- Edit -

I have no problems to apply different cameras on a testmap. Since it´s a Multi-Player Map (old problem...) it might be the way I address the players. I use "Pick every player in All players and do <camera action>"
If it´s wrong, I need to know which way works.

Thx

I made my own little intro kind of like yours where cameras are moving a lot here is how I did it.
In my map there is a unit running along a path.
The way I changed the cameras was by creating regions that I knew that unit would run through.
I made a new trigger giving it the event: Unit enters region, I selected the region that he would go through. The action I made was to Apply Camera object, then I selected the camera. The main thing is just to make sure you have the right region, camera, and camera placement correct.
I hope this helps you, if you would like I can send you my cinematic that I am talking about to hopefully help you more

I believe there is a way to say Apply Camera Object for Player 1 (or whoever you pick) you might just consider doing like three or four of those, (depending on how many players you have playing the game. As many camera commands as players to Apply Camera object for Player X.

Applying isn´t a problem. The Problem is Locking the camera / camera orientation to a target and THEN apply another camera ... which doesn´t seem to work in any way.

Of course, I always talk of MultiPlayer Maps.

I've heard that you can't lock a camera whan a unit is moving I'll look more up about it but I think thats what I read somewhere Maybe you should post your map here and I'll look at it?? up to you
