[HELP] setCameraTarget on ped

[steadyfi]

Hello.

I'm working on a script to make a ped that acts like a player , can enter cars, can shoot , can do everything.

But I have 1 big problem. I wonder how can I use setCameraTarget on a ped and sync the direction i'm looking to to move the ped. I tried it but it returns an error.

First of all, I wanna thanks CrystalMV for his remote car script, that gave me the start.

Thanks !

This function allows you to set a player's camera to follow other elements instead. Currently supported element type is:

Players

Doesn't support peds.

Oh... thanks. Can I use something else instead or it's just impossible ?

[Castillo]

getCamera 
attachElements 

or

setCameraMatrix

Got it ! Thanks Solidsnake

EDIT: How do I make it rotate with the mouse and enter cars etc ? Right now it only work with the basic controls: Forward,Backward,Left,Right,Jump,Sprint and attack

Take a look at freecam and filter out the stuff you don't need.
