Tackling the Epic Miracle Scripts

[Daxter_06]

Hey,

Alright so for a while now I've been trying my best to replicate these a little more while Lionhead's versions are unavailable right now. I have a very simple question.

While I have been looking into the scripting language, I've run into a small bump with the Volcano epic. in BnW2 the Volcano had created instances of star villagers for the wonder tower that it used to position the camera correctly, the issue I've been unsuccessful in making the thing do the same thing myself.

Has anyone come across a means to fix this? I believe the camera work may have been used to use a star villager's co-ordinates as a means to move it up the structure during it's final charge stages.
