Sonic The Hedgehog,

Return Value=GET GROUND HEIGHT(Matrix Number, X, Z)

The value returned from the command above, you will want to place as the Y coordinate in the POSITION CAMERA X,Y,Z command. For better effect, increase the ground height return value by about 10, so that the camera will be somewhat above the matrix ground. Do it like this:

gheight# = get ground height(1,xpos#,zpos#)

position camera xpos#,gheight# + 10,zpos#

this works better and easier then any other ways i've seen (not many) but it's flawed, in that you can start climbing down hills before you reach the top, or vice versa.
still having said that this is still the best way.

Uh? In a 1st person game with NanoBrain's code, how could you 'start climbing down hills before you reach the top'?

Would you care to post some example code proving this theory, or explain yourself more clearly?

How's my typing? Phone 0800-GO-TO-HELL
