						What do you mean by that?  
  Make the view point to the actor, or switch identity to the actor?

						Move the actor's view to object with Lua's position.

						The script is attached to a MOSRotating. When it is spawned, it makes the closest actor its "target." I want it so that if the "if" line is activated, or whatever you call it, the view of the "target" is moved to the MOSR's position.

						If you're talking about head rotation, that would invlolve wierd and abstract formulas for GetAimAngle.  I have one right now I'm releasing wihin 15 minutes, then I could try and help you come up with a formula.

						No, I mean like the screen view. Not the actor's actual view.

						Well then you should make it an actor so you can switch identity to it.  I think that's exactly what the problem is. :o  You need to make that an actor, THEN attach that other lua script that would never work to it.

						Um no, unless you spawned an actor in the position of the MOSR then switched identity to that

						Yeah I know that. I'm waiting for my photo bucket limit to reset. And one of those images are zalo's (a trophy). And I have another idea. Is it possible to kick a human player out of control and move the control cursor to a certain position?

				  Re: Quick Lua Question  
					
						Not that I know of, seeing (I think) it's hard coded and not a variable. (it = cursor)

				  Re: Quick Lua Question  
					
						Okay. But I have another question. In a mision, when you die, your view flies to your (dead) brain. Is that hard-coded or Mission-only Lua?
