Camera Question

I thought I'd post a useful thread, so here goes.

Regions. You can move them to other regions, position of units, etc.

Cameras - ???? I can't seem to find a way to 'move' a camera that is placed anywhere on the map to another region/unit. I don't want the camera to 'lock on ot the unit'. I just want to move a pre-placed camera there. I don't think that this is possible, but if it is, plz tell me.

[Update] - Actually I could probably apply a camera and then lock it to a unit, but can cameras from the camera pallet actually be moved?

Well, I doubt you can move the actual camera objects, but the best way to move a camera is to use variables. You can also save the current camera view as a variable as well, so if you wanted to "Move" a camera onto a unit here's how you would fake it:

Event - I dont give a Frick!
Actions - Lock camera target on unit
-----------Set Camera1 to current camera bounds
-----------Apply Camera1

This way the camera is centered on a unit, but not locked on it.
