I want the camera to rotate(circular view) as soon as the level is loaded.
Actually, i want the complete view of the level automatically as soon as the level loads.
And after that it has to come back to normal view, so that player can move....

good for you. have you tried anything?

we don't know anything about your level, your code, or anything at all really.

so far this looks like the wrong forum for you -- you don't need help with something, you want something done for you. correct me if i'm wrong by having a try, telling us what you tried, and asking us what you did wrong.

Thanks,
I was able to get the view of the level on pressing any of the key,
but i wanted it to be done as soon as the level loads with out pressing any key.
Now even that is done.
I needed suggestions...

okay that's good to see sorry the impression i got at first was that you just wanted something done for you.

it's difficult for some of us to help without seeing some of the code you're using so we can build on it. do you mind giving us a peak?

vec_rotate would be really helpful for calculating the position of the camera for rotating around the level.

for example, if you want the camera to have a lateral distance of 1000 quants from the centre of the level, and an elevation of 300, every frame do the following:
Code:

---

camera.pan += 3 * time_step;
vec_set(camera.x,vector(-1000,0,300));
vec_rotate(camera.x,camera.pan);

---

sorry i don't know how much you've done yourself. if you haven't done the rotation yet, that should help ^^
