Changing Camera Attach through DML files

[66567ea698007xdiesp]

I would like to make a DML file that changes the "camera attach" settings of the Mission Postings in the gamesys. But I have little experience with DML files, and I don't know the spelling of the string. I've tried the following and several variations, with no results. Any idea how these things work?

+ObjProp -2205 "Camera Attach"
{
   "X" 2
}
//also "width", "offset"

+ObjProp -2205 "Camera Attach" = 2
//also {2; 0; 0; 0; 0; 0; FALSE; FALSE; FALSE; FALSE}

you need to dump a proplist (dump_props_full in Shocked command window), that will show you the syntax. attaching for convenience.

camera attach;

Code: [Select]

ObjProp "CameraObj"          // type cCameraObj                , flags 0x0011 , editor name: "Renderer: Camera Attach"
{
"Offset" : vector
"Bank" : int_hex
"Pitch" : int_hex
"Heading" : int_hex
"Lock Bank?" : bool
"Lock Pitch?" : bool
"Lock Heading?" : bool
"Draw?" : bool
}so if you want to change the vector on -2205 (an archetype, so the dml needs to be gamesys.dml) from something default into lets say 1, 2, 3, the dml should look like this:

Code: [Select]

ObjProp -2205 "CameraObj"
{
"Offset" 1, 2, 3
}values that you don't want to change don't have to be specified. also, the + at the beginning is only required when you are adding stuff, it can be omitted when only modifying something that already exists.

It works, but only with the "+" and when the object in the gamesys does not have the property.

Without the "+", leaving the gamesys as it is and waiting for the property to change, there was no effect.

Thanks for the help!
