Hi there!

I have made it so my scripts are working on the server, BUT, whatever selection I put on trace, I find no choice that traces the “Camera Movements”.

Is there any filter at least that can do it? It doesnt have to be with mouse, I just want it to trace it 😛  
Thanks in advance!

Billy

You need to set it manually in your script. You can recover the values in the Camera configuration dialog.
