Hi again guys.
Thanks a lot for the very helpful replies to my last post.
I hope I didn't sound too harsh at all. I get a little frustrated sometines if something isn't working out the way I intended it to be, but I don't mean it to be pointed towards anyone really. I just feel frustrated when I cannot put it right, because there is something in the script that I don't understand what is causing my problem.
Again, I hope I didn't sound too harsh, and it wasn't intented to be pointed towads you guys.
*blush!*I really do appreciate the helpful replies too. Very much so.

After my last reply, I went back again and looked over some parts of the Gestalt Scripts.
Finally, and unfortunately I still couldn't get my head around Gestalt Smooth Cam.

Some of the explanation written by John Bye was somewhat confusing there, and I'm not sure if it fits to how I wanted to set it up in my script after "Balduvard" gave me the starting point for it.
I wanted the camera placed at a higher point above the players head, and a bit further back out behind the player too. This didn't seem to work out as I had expected, so I have decded to use a different cam effect instead - Gestalt Crane Cam.
It doesn't give the same, original effect which "Balduvard" had in the first place, but it just lifts the camera moving up a bit before the action starts with the 2 wolves.
I have used Gestalt Crane Cam before, and can understand it a bit better than the other ones at the moment.
Here is the script again to show what I have changed in it this time.
By the way, I am now having a different problem with it.

//Clean up the cutscene actors (now that they're off-screen) and end the scene.

Instead of doing what Balduvard originally showed by sending the pc back to the start, via a starting waypoint, when the pc gets to the end of the road in that area, I have set it up so that the pc would teleport or jump to the next area instead. (again via a waypoint) But now there is a problem.
Using this effect at the end of my script, for some reason, the pc will NOT move a single inch!
The pc just stands there and won't move to follow the wolves.
'>
It will still port/jump the pc to the next area, but for some reason I cannot work out why the pc won't move now.
But if I delete that last part, it works fine again, and the pc follows the wolves.
Does anyone know why I'm having this problem at the end of my script please?
