And now how do I make the camera switch to a more zelda-ish/diablo style camera position, I know how to do it with normal coordinates, but I'm using a tutorial script, and the XYZ in this totally threw me off, any ideas?

well, you could just place the camera above the player

change this line of code:

position camera x#,y#+sin(walk#)*3,z#

to

position camera Player Position X,Player Position Y+20,Player Position Z

i'm nut sure if the camera position is important to this code, but it might screw the code a little, so you have to work around that

But I don't have player position defines as anything, I can't use then without definign them first, what should I define them as though?

You can use object position x() and put any object number attached to the player in the ().

Or at the begining of the loop have some variable that updates to ...
players_current_position_x = object position x(100)
