hi
I'm a totally newcomer...
I just ran some examples and learnt how to create a matrix and move in it (turn camera + set camera position)
my matrix has got a lot of hills.
now my problem is, that when I climb up a hill the camera is inside the hill and I see under the matrix!
What can I do against that?
Thank you very much!!

well!
you could get de ground height!
Use GET GROUND HEIGHT(n,x#,z#) where:
n=matrix number
x#=camera position x()
z#=camera position z()

It will return the height of the exact place where the camera is. Increase it a little and set this number the y position of the camera.
