Getting camera target

[Wisam]

Hello..

I started making assault maps for my server for assault gamemode and there is one thing i cant get for the map and its the camera target.. i want to know the cordnaits for the the camera target and where to look..

Like this

The map script:

This is part of the map script for the camera target

    "-1448.827026" posY="1503.699585" posZ="25.376719" 
        targetX="-1385.593750" targetY="1491.384277" targetZ="12.064482" type="selectTeam" /> 

My guess was that the camera pos is where the camera will be, and the target pos is the cordniats where the camera will look, but i didnt try it.. if you know anything about this please help me

Thank you

local cameraElements= getElementsByType("camera") 
local firstArray = next(cameraElements) 
if firstArray then 
local camera = cameraElements[firstArray] 
local posX = getElementData(camera,"posX") 
-- etc. 
end

Add this client-side and use /dump to dump the camera coordinates. They will be copied to your clipboard so you just use CTRL+V somewhere.

  
addCommandHandler("dump",function() 
    local x,y,z,lx,ly,lz = getCameraMatrix() 
    setClipboard(tostring(x)..","..tostring(y)..","..tostring(z)..","..tostring(lx)..","..tostring(ly)..","..tostring(lz)) 
end)
