    I am using the Framing Transposer and I have adjusted the LookaheadTime so the yellow focus dot will move ahead and that works great. Is there a way to freeze the position of that YELLOW DOT? I have two different kinds of movement. When I strafe the player I want that yellow dot to be fixed in position and not move. I just dont know how to do that.

    I don't really understand what you're trying to do. Can you set the lookahead to 0 when strafing? Does that give you what you want?

    That wont work because the yellow dot will go back to the center. As I move my player and have LookaheadTime at .6 the camera lets me see farther ahead depending on the direction Im moving. That works great. But when I want to strafe back and forth up and down ect , Id like that lookahead distance to stay exactly where its at and not to be affected by the movement keys.......when I strafe I want to be able to still see that part of the screen. I just wish there was a way to freeze that yellow box focus point.

    You can do it by making an intermediate target that implements lookahead the way you like it. Have an invisible object with a custom script that positions itself at the desired lookahead point, and use that object as a Follow target for the Framing Transposer. Disable lookahead in the vcam, as you are implementing it in the target.
