It is useful for creating introduction sequences that make use of cameras, as it allows you to guarantee where a survivor will not only be standing, but also allows you pick any animation to play, and to use point_viewcontrol_survivor so that it can zoom in on a particular suvivors head, regardless of the difference in height for each survivor. This is important for creating professional looking cutscenes. Such as map intro and outro sequences.
