how would you do a sniper type view in darkbasic? from what i can tell, you can only have one camera at a time, so is there some kind of CAMERA ZOOM command or something, because by moving the camera forward to emulate this, the camera can swing straight through the matrix!

just use

if inkey$="" then set camera fov 15 else set camera fov 45

in your code to have a zoom for as long as the space key is depressed, to much/little zoom? then change the 15 for another value, or make code to alter the value in real time for a smooth zoom effect, cheers.

ps: oh!, why shouldn`t you ask questions?, even I ask questions sometimes and I have used basic for decades (although DB is a oddball kinda basic so I can be excused )
