Hello all,
Currently working on this right now:
http://www.orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=32521
My idea is roughly like this:
-Camera vessel has a char * sequence that it uses to check the objects list for a match, then returns the appropriate ObjectHandle.
-ObjectHandle is used to retrieve the global position vector of the target object, then any transformations will be applied to it (ie motion around the cameras target object)
-Then the Camera vessel forces its position to the targets globalpos vector + whatever transformations are wanted
The part Im unsure about is how to force that position change. Ive been reading through the vessel API, but I'm not sure of the best option so far.
looks like it might work, but that would force me to use an ELEMENTS struct, which wont allow me to work with the position vector format like I want to. Is there a better way to do this?

Code:
bool SetElements (OBJHANDLE hRef, const ELEMENTS &el, ORBITPARAM *prm = 0, double mjd_ref = 0, int frame = FRAME_ECL) const;looks like it might work, but that would force me to use an ELEMENTS struct, which wont allow me to work with the position vector format like I want to. Is there a better way to do this?
