Ok, so I have this code for a camera, its close to being what I want it to be, I know I have asked this before but I have more questions now. Included in this post is a source, I am wondering what part of the source has the part where the camera is lowered to the ground, I need to raise it up a bit for one of my games, and I would like it to be completely customizable. Can anyone help me?

Thanks,
Zero

in

get ground height(1,cpx#,cpz#)+10

the +10 at the end dictates the height of the camera above the ground, so you change it to

get ground height(1,cpx#,cpz#)+PlayerViewHeight

and then you can ask the player how tall they want to be at the start of the game for example, eg

print "how tall will want to be in this game?...enter a value from 1 (Dwarf) to 9 (Giant)"
input PlayerViewHeight
if (PlayerViewHeight>9) or (PlayerViewHeight<0) then PlayerViewHeight=1

hope that some help
