llSetCameraEyeOffset

Category: Camera

function

Function syntax

llSetCameraEyeOffset(

vector offset// Offset position vector in local coordinates relative to the prim.

);

Energy: 10

Sets the camera eye offset for avatars that sit on the object.

This is the position of the camera’s eye, not the point it looks at.

llSetCameraEyeOffset(ZERO_VECTOR);

Caveats

Setting this will not update the cameras of seated avatars, it will only effect avatars that subsequently sit down. The camera settings have to be prepared in advance.
The offset is locally relative to the object, if you want it relative to the seated avatar (which likely has a custom sit rotation and offset) or the region, you must do the computation yourself.
ZERO_VECTOR offset will cancel any eye offset.
Camera position set by this function is a Prim Property. It will survive the script and it will survive prim taking and prim rezzing
