Hi to all!
I need help from the most experienced, I want to do a screenshot of all my level terrain but seen of the top, and create an image of 1024x1024, I need this for see where I have positioned the models type the houses, the trees, and the stones. It serves me for create the RGB map, for the shader mtlterrain, I don't know if I need to use a script for the camera. Thank you!

I use a top view camera for other purposes, but if you use it and then press prt_scr (print screen) on your keyboard and then paste it in a image program, i think you will have your image. Play with those values.
Hope it helps.
Code:

---

 
camera.x = 0;
camera.y = 0;
camera.z = 38400;     		
camera.pan = 180;
camera.tilt = -90;
camera.roll = 0;          		
camera.arc = 77;

Hi! demi

I have no idea how to use that? the script must have an action or not?, how could be called this function? for one screenshoot?

it can used like that
function place_cam()
{
camera.x = 0;
camera.y = 0;
camera.z = 38400;
camera.pan = 180;
camera.tilt = -90;
camera.roll = 0;
camera.arc = 77;
}
on_c = place_cam();

if you cancel all of the actions that start on that map, and place that in your function main, it should work...

If you run your game through SED or WED, and press 0 (the number not the letter), you will get a free floating camera which you control with the arrow keys. Just fly up, look down and take your screenshot.

Since the camera is a PERSPECTIVE view, you wont get a true top view map. Unless you move the camera one pixel at a time (1024 x 1024 times, taking a screenshot, getting the center pixel, and stitching them together to form one map. But this is a pain in the arse...
