Need some help real quick as im sure this isnt too hard i just cant figure it out.

I need the camera to show a sign i made for three seconds before the race actually starts (it has the 3 countdown til it starts)
then it cut to the race starting.

I got most of it done i just need the camera to start by looking at the sign then cutting to the game camera.

so basically, what can i do to have the start camera be the one looking at the sign?
(i believe ive got the other stuff figured out)

I believe you need a camera event, and the 'game camera' has to be a custom camera, while the game camera is what shows the stuff before the game. Thats how I worked the camera on my pong game.

From the start line send an impulse to camera event, camera event connects to the 'game camera'

What I did was use a custom camera for where I wanted to start and in advanced settings there is the option "use as game camera" which will force it to be used before the game starts.
Use a variable data source set to 1 and use that as the value for the game camera checkbox.
Now use an interval trigger and send one impulse to a set value event which will change the variable data source to 0 and disable the custom camera.
It will then switch back to default.
