Post your code or email it to me and I will see if I can find the erors and correct them.

Here's the code. I added your code right after OverHeadView.ROLL = 0;

/////////////////////////////Over Head View///////////////////////////
VIEW OverHeadView {
POS_X 0;
POS_y 0;
SIZE_X 1024;
SIZE_Y 768;
LAYER 1.1;
DIAMETER 0;
}
SKILL CenterMeOH { X 5; Y 0; Z 0; }

ACTION my_OverHeadView {
IF (OverHeadView.VISIBLE == ON){
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,OFF;
} ELSE {
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,ON;
}
WHILE (1) {
CenterMeOH.X = 10;
CenterMeOH.Y = 0;
CenterMeOH.Z = 0;
MOVE ME,CenterMeOH,nullskill;
WAIT 1;

OverHeadView.X = 0;
OverHeadView.Y = 0;
OverHeadView.Z = 1700;
OverHeadView.PAN = 0;
OverHeadView.TILT = -90;
OverHeadView.ROLL = 0;
IF (OverHeadView.VISIBLE == ON){
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,OFF;
Camera.VISIBLE = ON;
} ELSE {
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,ON;
Camera.VISIBLE = OFF;
}

}
}
ON_O my_OverHeadView;

There's an easier way if you're interested:

In the movement.wdl file in the template folder find the function move_view_3rd and replace it with

function move_view_3rd()
{
CAMERA.DIAMETER = 0;
camera.x = player.x;
camera.y = player.y;
camera.z = player.z + 200; //height above player
camera.tilt = -90; //look down
camera.pan = player.pan; //direction of player
camera.roll = 0;
}

hope that helps!!!!!

Let us know if this works?!?!?!?!

Smiffy: Your code just switched to overhead view for a split second. Afterwords it went back for First person view.
And Keebo, I would really appreciate it if you could fix that code for me. I'm only getting about nine frames per second with it in overhead view...but in first person view, I get about 30 fps.

Kagato98, this should bring your framerate back to normal:

/////////////////////////OVERHEAD VIEW ///////
VIEW OverHeadView {
POS_X 0;
POS_y 0;
SIZE_X 1024;
SIZE_Y 768;
LAYER 1.1;
DIAMETER 0;

}

SKILL CenterMeOH { X 0; Y 0; Z 0; }

ACTION my_OverHeadView {
IF (OverHeadView.VISIBLE == ON){
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,OFF;
Camera.VISIBLE = ON;
} ELSE {
SET OverHeadView.VISIBLE,ON;
Camera.VISIBLE = OFF;
}

WHILE (1) {
CenterMeOH.X = 0;
CenterMeOH.Y = 0;
CenterMeOH.Z = 0;
MOVE ME,CenterMeOH,nullskill;
OverHeadView.X = 0;
OverHeadView.Y = 0;
OverHeadView.Z = 1700;
OverHeadView.PAN = 0;
OverHeadView.TILT = -90;
OverHeadView.ROLL = 0;
WAIT 1;

}
}
ON_O my_OverHeadView;

Thanks man. Worked perfectly
