Okay, I'll post a screenshot when I get home tonight. But in the meantime as explanation, the view doesn't look any different than normal. I'm not seeing things from one angle only, as per isometric...

Okay, here's a screenshot:


I need it to be more like this (fixed angle of perspective, though from a steeper angle):


EDIT: also, I tried it with the "var ISOMETRIC;" but it didn't work--threw a syntax error in fact.

for the perspective you want lock the cameras pan and tilt outside of a while loop and move the cam around inside a while loop like so


camera.tilt=-60;
camera.pan=315;


while (1)
{

camera.x+=6*(key_cul-key_cur)*time_step;
camera.y+=6*(key_cud-key_cuu)*time_step;

wait(1);
}


at least that should be close to the angles you want , judging from the pic

I'll give that a try tonight after work.

Does this mean that ISOMETRIC doesn't work?

Also, will I need to do anything with the camera arc?

Thanks.

Didn't work. Camera view didn't change at all.

I'm really at a loss as to what I'm doing wrong here.

you must be useing the templetes

i thought you were making standalone

The angle isn't his issue, badapple. It's the perspective -- ISOMETRIC is supposed to make the view orthogonal.

I'm going to try updating my A7 from .77 to .80 and see if that fixes things.

Well, updating to 7.8 made no difference. I'm still seeing the same thing (wrong perspective).

I have my camera action attached to a "camera" model I made.

Here's that script again:

action free_camera()
{

video_set(1920,1200,0,1);
d3d_antialias = 1;



VECTOR camera_force;
set(my,INVISIBLE|POLYGON);


camera_force.z = 0;
vec_set(camera.x,my.x);
vec_set(camera.pan,my.pan);
camera.flags |= ISOMETRIC;


while(1)
{
camera_force.x = (key_w - key_s)*50*time_step;
camera_force.y = (key_a - key_d)*50*time_step;
vec_add(my.pan,vector(mouse_force.x*(-6)*time_step,mouse_force.y*6*time_step,0));

c_move(my,camera_force,nullvector,GLIDE+IGNORE_PASSABLE+IGNORE_PASSENTS+IGNORE_PUSH);
vec_set(camera.x,vector(my.x,my.y,my.z));
vec_set(camera.pan,my.pan);



wait(1);
}





}

I dont have an answer, Ive never played with the ISOMETRIC flag ever,
but try checking the view.arc entry in the manual.

It looks to me that this NEEDS to be shanged if you use the ISOMETRIC flag.
