well...looking at your code...oh! there isn`t any!, well ... looking at the screenshots...oh!there aren`t any!, well, trying to read your mind....ah! thats better

use the command get ground height to get the height of the matrix at your current position, then add a bit for the height of the player, I always use 1 unit to 1 meter, so I get a feel for the relative size of things, so the command

floor#=get ground height (1,x,z)

will put the height of the floor into the variable floor#, note that it must be a float variable (with a # on the end) because if the terrain has slopes then places on it will be at heights like 1.234 etc, then just position the camera at this height plus the height of the player (1.7 meters to eye in this case)

position camera x,floor#+1.7,z

and no matter how the floor bumps and undulates the camera will remain 1.7 meters above it, hope thats some help.

load image "media\bitmaps\textures\arcade\floor\grass07.bmp",2
prepare matrix texture 2,2,2,2
randomize matrix 2,20

rem setup fog and backdrop
backdrop on

position camera 10,10,100
fog on
fog color RGB(0,0,0)
fog distance 7000
set camera range 1,10000
DO
rem various controls
If upkey()=1 then move camera 20
If downkey()=1 then move camera -15

Yes! The 'Mentor' solution just position the camera above the floor, then you can rotate the camera in any direction!
Put...
floor#=get ground height (1,camera position x(),camera position z())
position camera camera position x(),floor#+1.7,camera position z()

...after the keys test.

J'espère que tu es meilleur en français que je ne le suis en anglais!

Um now that I have that problem sorted out, I have come across anouther run (Yay! whoooo! cheers to the newbs!) anyway, I can use mouselook to kind of flip the camera upside down and walk upside down??
Here is my mouselook code.

rotate camera wrapvalue(camera angle x()+mousemovey()),wrapvalue(camera angle y()+mousemovex()),0

Cheers again Oli
