Notes

• The camera can be set up to work in any of several ways - fixed position, with a fixed or moving target (e.g. a security camera), or moving, with a fixed or moving target. Camera sequences can get very complicated.

• The player must be near the area that the camera is to move in. If not, the game engine will not draw the area. You may need to teleport the player into and out of each area.
