I am a programmer working with the free version of lite-c
I am making a game where you take control of a tank and can change the gun's direction using the arrow keys, and fire using space, using the code below:

action cannon()
{
var fire_percent;
var shooting = 0;
var cool = 0;
t_gun = me;
set(my,PASSABLE);
while (me)
{
cool -= 1;
if (key_cul)
{
my.pan += 1;
}

if (key_cur)
{
my.pan -= 1;
}

if (key_cuu)
{
my.tilt += 1;
}

if (key_cud)
{
my.tilt -= 1;
}
if (key_space)
{
if (cool <= 1)
{
ent_create("tank_bullet.mdl", vector (1000, 50, 7200000000000), shell); //create environment
shooting = 100;
fire_percent = 0;
cool = 75;
}
}
//////////////////////////////
if (my.tilt >= 78)
{
my.tilt = 78;
}

if (my.tilt <= -78)
{
my.tilt = -78;
}
//////////////////////////////
fire_percent += 4;
if (shooting >= 0)
{
ent_animate(my,"shoot",fire_percent, ANM_CYCLE);
shooting -= 4;
}
//////////////////////////////
vec_for_vertex(me.x, t_bod, 9);
wait(1);
}
}

The next step for me is to make it so when you press a specific key you zoom in to "cannon view"
I have tried some simple things with vec_for_vertex and camera.pan = my.pan etc...
But My problems were so convoluted I couldn't even explain them on the forum so I am asking for suggestions...
Thanks in advance

Your script has to many unnecessary things... here is the example that works same as yours with included zoom, but it is smaller then your example, and this way it looks more better:
If you'll need any more help, PM me. Or register on my website, I'll help you there.

Thanks for the effort but it didn't exactly have the desired effect.
When the game starts the camera is really close to the back of the tank. when I hold Ctrl the camera slowly zooms out.
I think this is because of a mi swording in my original post so I'm gonna reword it now...

I would like it so when I press a key I now see what the cannon see's.
If I use the arrow keys to aim the cannon I am aiming the camera at the same time.
When I press a different key the camera goes back to floating behind the tank so I can see it as a whole.
Sorry for the misunderstanding
