hello,
Well my civil war game is coming along. But some thing that happen
that I did not count on. (big news when you don't know what you are doing) I made a plane and texture it with my map (object1).
then I put a 3d object a man (object2) on my map. I the put the camera looking vertical down on the map amd man. than I used move object code. that moved the plain right, good it worked fine... bad the man did not move. I looked all over the place to find camera
comm. that will move the camera up down right and left. Now up and down is not moving into the map or a way from the map I want the camera to move like north south east and west. Is there a way of doing this. this is going be a 3d game that looks like a 2D one.
as all way thanks for you help renny

make 3 variables for your camera: camx#, camy#, camz#.

at the top of your program, try this:


then,

change the variables with the key commands like you are now:


then, at the bottom of your loop, put:

position camera camx#,camy#,camz#


that should get you started!

NOTE: the move camera command moves the camera in the direction it is FACING. also you might need to rotate the plain object so it's on the ZX plane.

good luck! if you have any other questions please post them.

Thanks walaber I will try it out now renny
