try that and see if you can see the level.

Normally if you have a game the camera is attached to the player. So if you like you can move to creating a simple walking player then attaching a camera becomes a integrated part of player code and player creation.

Quote:

function cam_era()
{
// for fps game
while(1)
{
vec_set(camera.x,my.x);// MY is the player ent
vec_set(camera.pan,my.pan) // Look where the player looks
wait(1);
}
}

action ent_player()
{
cam_era();
while(1)
{
my.skill1 = ((key_w-key_s)*10)*time_step; // give a movement value
my.pan-=((key_a-key_d)*10)*time_step; // give turning
c_move(my,my.skill1,nullvector,GLIDE); // move using skill1-skill3 as a vector of speed.
wait(1);
}
}
