Object following the rider? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myMwjFxjzWw

Or you want the camera to zoom in close to the rider? That you can just set the zoom # on the camera to a variable datasource and decrease the # as you would like (set event, interval trigger, curved datasource)

What do you mean close in? Chase the rider and then attack it? Follow the rider with OPE. then have that attached to a set event (decrease) and decrease that # til its on the rider

OPE = Rider position + set value (say 100) -> Variable data source (VDS) -> OPE 'x' value

so you'll need a two input operator. Adding the value of the riders position (operand 1) and the VDS (100, operand 2).

The decrease value (whatever value you want it to decrease, plus the amount of time (can use an interval trigger to send the impulse to the set value event decrease)

Use the value to go to the OPE 'x' value, if you can go from the operand do that, if not connect it to VDS. USE LOCAL CHECKED ON THE OPE

Make sense?
