Well, im trying, as suggested, to stop using subroutines and start to use functions.

This is the code for updating the cam each sync:

+ Code Snippet

function update_cam()

rem place camera
position camera object position x(1), object position y(1)+camdistance, object position z(1)-camdistance
point camera object position x(1), object position y(1), object position z(1)

endfunction

Problem is, it simply doesnt work

I only see gray color over the whole screen. The funny part is that if I place the camera code outside of the function, plain and clutterly right in the main loop, it works!

I call the funtion with update_cam(). Full source included if you need more info.

Thanks in advance

i thinkit is because variables do not work in functions......variables like camdistance.....dont quote me cause i could be wrong.....try redifining camdistance in the function

I haven't looked at your code but chances are the variables you are trying to manipulate within the function are not GLOBALly defined or are not passed in as params...just a guess
