Hi,
I have a problem with the camera. When I descend a hill the camera goes through the object. I load the level once, as an object and this is it's setup SC_SetupComplexObject( groundlevel,1,2 );.This is what I use to position the camera:

+ Code Snippet

dbPositionCamera( dbObjectPositionX(ball),dbObjectPositionY(ball),dbObjectPositionZ(ball) );
	dbRotateCamera( dbObjectAngleX(ball),dbObjectAngleY(ball),dbObjectAngleZ(ball) );
	dbSetCameraToFollow(dbObjectPositionX(ball), dbObjectPositionY(ball), dbObjectPositionZ(ball), dbObjectAngleY(ball), 50,25 + (dbCameraAngleX() / 20) , 1,0);// era 30 + (dbCameraAngleX() / 20)

I tried dbAutomaticCameraCollision ( groundlevel, 15,1 ); but it didn't work.
What can I do?

If you've been using pitch, turn and roll commands then the ObjectAngleY isn't returned properly and the SetCameraToFollow doesn't function properly either.

dbSetCameraToObjectOrientation still works fine.

You can however fake camera follow something like this:

+ Code Snippet

		player->getcoords(&tempx,&tempy,&tempz);
		dbPositionCamera(tempx,tempy+50,tempz);

		player->getrotate(&tempx,&tempy,&tempz);
		dbRotateCamera(tempx,tempy,tempz);

		dbPitchCameraDown(cam_height);
		dbMoveCamera(-100);

Warning! May contain Nuts!
