moveScriptCamera

Client-side
SA:O APINative script camera

Move the camera between two world positions over a chosen duration, linearly or with GTA's original easing.

Syntax

bool moveScriptCamera(int token, Vector3 from, Vector3 to, int durationMs [, bool ease = true])

Arguments

tokenint

Current lease token.

fromVector3

Start position.

toVector3

End position.

durationMsint

Positive duration in milliseconds.

easebooloptional · default true

Use GTA's eased track instead of linear motion.

Returns

true when the track started; false for stale ownership or invalid vectors/duration.

Ownership and lifecycle

Only one resource can own the global script camera. San Andreas Online rejects stale callbacks and releases ownership on stop, restart, disconnect, or an authoritative server camera RPC.
