Hey,

I need help loading a person so that it is like in 3RD Person Mode,
and also I can move it around with the Up, Down, Left and right keys please?

Cheers,

Ali

P.S It is for an action/slash em up game called 'Dark Lands'

To load an object you use the "load object" command.

load object "Object Name", Object Number

To do a 3rd Person Camera use the code below.

Quote: "`Get Cordinates
x=object position x(objectnumber)
y=object position y(objectnumber)
z=object position z(objectnumber)
a#=object angle y(objectnumber)

`Workout Camera's New Cordinates
cx=newxvalue(x,wrapvalue(a#),300)
cz=newzvalue(z,wrapvalue(a#),300)
cy=get ground height(1,cx,cz)+100

`This makes the camera turn smoother
cx=curvevalue(cx,camera position x(),5)
cy=curvevalue(cy,camera position y(),5)
cz=curvevalue(cz,camera position z(),5)

`Position Camera
position camera cx,cy,cz
point camera x,y,z
"

You mean going up and swinging a sword or something at a enemy?

If that's what you mean, then it's done with object animation and collision.
