How to locate the viewpoint to transporter

I'd like to attach the viewpoint to a transporter so that the viewpoint would follow the transporter driver: see the simulation from the drivers perspective.

Marco with Flexcon has created a module to do that:

@tomi.kosunen the solution that @Ralf Gruber gives does follow one transporter with a fixed camera. If you want the camera to follow an object maybe this post give you some ideas: Follow a transporter around

Thanks @steven.hamoen and @Ralf Gruber for the answers. I have explored the examples but I still don't know how to set the camera location to certain xyz position, that's basically what I need to do. Then I can set the code to transporters custom draw trigger and that's it.

Hi @tomi.kosunen,

If you want to follow a transporter the spatial co-ordinates of the transporter is the x,y,z position you need to point.

@tomi.kosunen I think you should take a look at the command setcameradirection but I'm not very familiair with this view stuff but I guess that is the function you could use to set the camera the way you want. If somebody else can correct me please do.
