llGetCameraPos

function
Function syntax
vector llGetCameraPos();
Returns
vector
Energy
10

Returns a vector representing the camera's current position in region coordinates of the agent who granted PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA. Returns ZERO_VECTOR if permissions are not granted.

Returns a vector that is the current camera position for the agent the task has permissions for.

How to use
vector result = llGetCameraPos();
  • Seems to act weird when the camera gets too far from the agent.
