| 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>
cam [[cameraEffect]] ["terminate", "back"]; // would terminate all r2t sources</code><br>
{{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)}}|DESCRIPTION=

One of: "TOP", "LEFT", "RIGHT", "FRONT", "BACK", "LEFT FRONT", "RIGHT FRONT", "LEFT BACK", "RIGHT BACK", "LEFT TOP", "RIGHT TOP", "FRONT TOP", "BACK TOP", "BOTTOM". These are usually used with "Fixed" and "FixedWithZoom" effect types. If not sure which position to use, set it to "BACK";
r2tName (Optional): String - Render To Texture surface reference
Return Value:
Return value needed

Examples

Example 1:
_cam cameraEffect ["internal", "BACK"];
Example 2:
_cam cameraEffect ["internal", "back", "rendersurface"];
Example 3:
cam = "seagull" camCreate (player modelToWorld [0,0,100]); cam cameraEffect ["FIXED", "LEFT TOP"]; cam camCommand "MANUAL ON";
Example 4:
_ctrl = findDisplay 46 createDisplay "RscDisplayEmpty" ctrlCreate ["RscPicture", -1]; _ctrl ctrlSetPosition [0.5, 0, 0.5, 0.5]; _ctrl ctrlSetText "#(argb,512,512,1)r2t(rtt1,1.0)"; _ctrl ctrlCommit 0; _cam1 = "camera" camCreate (ASLtoAGL eyePos player vectorAdd [0, -10, 0]); _cam1 cameraEffect ["Internal", "Back", "rtt1"]; _cam2 = "Land_HandyCam_F" createVehicle [0,0,0]; _cam2 enableSimulation false; _cam2 setPos (ASLtoAGL eyePos player vectorAdd [0, 10, 0]); _cam2 setDir (_cam2 getDir player); switchCamera _cam2;
