im new to gstudio and have an idea for a project which is a top down hellicopter game, im starting of simple just a flat terrain which i have made a apache hellicopter which i have made and im looking for a code for the top down camera can any one help, this camera needs to be fixed i have looked at the scripts with gstudio am i missing something with those scripts,once i have the camera view i can work on basic movement for the hellicopter.
thanks

I guess you would set CAMERA.Z to a specific amount above your player's aircraft, create a loop instruction that keeps the camera.x and camera.y cords equal to the aircrafts.x and .y cords, and by fixing the camera.tilt to -90.

Example:

function Chopper_cam()
{
while(1)
{
camera.x = aircraft.x;
camera.y = aircraft.y
camera.z = aircraft.z + 8000;
camera.tilt = -90;
wait(1);
}
}


The things you would need for this to work is
1. A POINTER to the aircraft (eg: ENTITY* CHOPPER;)
in the beggining of the script.
2. An aircraft model
3. An aircraft model ACTION

yes im a complete noob and still am a it lost im starting small and i have the hellicopter model in .mdl format and the terrain made, where do i put your script

Well, if you were to copy and past what I wrote above into a .wdl file, you would most likely get an error because it is'nt completely defined, it was just a short example.

What do you have so far in terms of script? Are you using the templates or from scratch?

im using the templates at moment and im using version 7.10 extra.

is there a template that would work well for my needs.
thanks
