Anybody have any ideas on how to zoom around a matrix and select the cell you are centered on?

I got the swooping part (see code)
but I want to be able to select certain cells and set them to be walls, floors, so on... in order to make a kind of simplistic 3d level editor for a dungeon game.

Am i re-inventing the wheel? can anyone help?

newb here, but..
You should be able to.. i think.

Super-Duper Simple version -

load object wall
POS=camera positon
if Mkey then duplicate wall : position wall at POS

GL

edit-
better do a get ground height in there too
Might also be worth getting the matrix 'cell' thats at your camera position.

Thanx Hardboot,
What we need is a good Matrix tutorial. I saw a pretty good one for DBc a while back, but i haven't seen any for DBpro. Can anyone direct me to one?
thanx!

Matrices are pretty much the same in DBC and DBP, just toy around with it a bit.
