Im very new to Gamestudio, and programming in general, so please forgive my ignorance.....but I'm having such fun with Gamestudio I can't help myself but ask.

I have an idea for an isometric game, and I can place the camera where I want by:

camera.x = -256
camera.y = -256
camera.z = 400
camera.tilt = 60

I need to play with the values, so I can get the right view of my terain, but that's the way I did it. However, when the game starts I get a "press o to move the camera" or some such message.

Is there a way to lock the camera in place, and then attach it to my player and move to a new location and lock it in place again? Also, when the camera is locked in place, I still want to move my player around.

Is there a standard way to program an isometric view camera?

Thanks for reading my post!

The best place to start is the AUM resources page on the main page of website, there you can download scripts, wdls, and demo resources. I am currently working on a isometric game on the lines of x-com and that is a good place to start, also if your making a rgp check out nighthawks website don't know the actuall address but type in google Nighthawk and gamestudio and it will give you the link

If you started an A7 project, the default code has



in its main() function.

Simply remove that.

Hey, thanks for the reply!

I remember x-com fondly.....spent quite a few hours defending the earth with that one. It always reminded me of that British 60's TV show "UFO".

Anyway, I was thinking of a look more like Balders Gate.....I'll check out nighthawks site.

Thanks again.
