Types of camera for CfgCameraEffects config:

@@ Line 13: / Line 13: @@
 | Sets the given effect on the given camera. If you want to switch the screen directly to the first-person, aiming, third-person or group view of an object, use [[switchCamera]] instead. The effect type "Terminate" is used to exit the current camera view and switch back to the player's view. Does not need [[camCommit]].

-Since Arma 3 v1.73.142217, it is possible to terminate individual r2t source. For example: <code>cam [[cameraEffect]] ["terminate", "back", "rtt1"]; // would terminate "rtt1" r2t source
+Since Arma 3 v1.74, it is possible to terminate individual r2t source. For example: <code>cam [[cameraEffect]] ["terminate", "back", "rtt1"]; // would terminate "rtt1" r2t source
 cam [[cameraEffect]] ["terminate", "back"]; // would terminate all r2t sources</code><br>
 {{Feature | important | One cannot mix and match [[cameraEffect]] and can either have multiple [[r2t]] cameras or a single camera for the whole screen. If one needs a background stream overlayed with [[r2t]] streams, this could be achieved by creating an object and using [[switchCamera]] to switch to it for background image, while using [[cameraEffect]] for [[r2t]] overlay (see Example 4)}}
