What am I doing wrong that the camera isn't displaying the matrix??? The camera moves fine, just there's no MATRIX!

Your camera is positioned at 0 on the y axis, the matrix is so thin that you dont see it here. Move your camera up a bit and you'll see it.

RUCCUS:Thanks.

Now how about pointing it towards the matrix? Like an isometric view? Just like the ones in RTSs?

Use the POINT CAMERA command or the XROTATE CAMERA command.

Point Camera==Will make the camera point towards one coordinate.
---Point Camera Camera Number,X,Y,Z

Xrotate Camera==Will rotate the camera on it's X axis.
---Xrotate Camera Camera Number,XAngle

(Choose one of them, don't use both for simplicity reasons lol)


To see more about these commands, press F1 while your cursor is on the command, or you can just go look it up in the help files. Oh, and just a little hint about DBPro...
(Camera 0 applies to the default camera, so you could specify a camera number of 0 if you wanted to, but you already have camera 1 so leave it as is.)

Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah Blah... Okay I'm done.
