i have looked through the aums for an example of what i am after but can`t find anything. i want to change between two models in game, one is the ship itself

the other is the bridge of the ship

i have a camera code set for 3 views one of which is an fps view (which will be the bridge view) could anyone point me in the right direction for something like this?
the camera to go into fps is actived by 2 btw. i hope i`ve explained this ok

If you want to change a model to another model, use ent_morph

cool i`ll give that a try and hopefully not have to keep bothering you lol, thanks.

well i have failed miserably, i found two examples of ent_morph in the aums, unfortunatly it is for explosions and not quite what i need, so i tried this
Code:

---

function ship_camera()
{
	if (key_1 == on) {camera_number = 1;}
	if (key_2 == on) {camera_number = 2;}
	if (key_3 == on) {camera_number = 3;}
	if (camera_number == 1) // top view 
	{
		camera.x = player.x;
		camera.y = player.y;
		camera.z = player.z + 900; // play with this value
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = -90;
	}
	if (camera_number == 2) // simulated first person view (that's just another isometric view, really)
	{
		camera.x = player.x -40 * cos(player.pan);
		camera.y = player.y - 0 * sin(player.pan);
		camera.z = player.z + 0; 
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = 0;
	}
	ent_morph(my,bridge_mdl);
	
	if (camera_number == 3) // true isometric view
	{
		camera.x = player.x - 200 * cos(player.pan); // 200 = distance
		camera.y = player.y - 200 * sin(player.pan); // same value here
		camera.z = player.z + 150; // above the player
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = -27; // look down at the player
	}	
	wait (1);
}

what i hoped for here was when 2 was pressed then the bridge mesh would appear and the ship mesh would be gone, however as soon as i launch the code the bridge mesh is there straight away even though the camera is set to 1 for the start. cheers for any and all help.

Code:

function ship_camera()
{
	if (key_1 == on) {camera_number = 1;}
	if (key_2 == on) {camera_number = 2;ent_morph(my,bridge_mdl); }
	if (key_3 == on) {camera_number = 3;}
	if (camera_number == 1) // top view 
	{
		camera.x = player.x;
		camera.y = player.y;
		camera.z = player.z + 900; // play with this value
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = -90;
	}
	if (camera_number == 2) // simulated first person view (that's just another isometric view, really)
	{
		camera.x = player.x -40 * cos(player.pan);
		camera.y = player.y - 0 * sin(player.pan);
		camera.z = player.z + 0; 
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = 0;
	}
	
	
	if (camera_number == 3) // true isometric view
	{
		camera.x = player.x - 200 * cos(player.pan); // 200 = distance
		camera.y = player.y - 200 * sin(player.pan); // same value here
		camera.z = player.z + 150; // above the player
		camera.pan = player.pan;
		camera.tilt = -27; // look down at the player
	}	
	wait (1);
}

ent_morph doesnt just change the meshs, it changes the whole model.


dont know if this is what you are looking for but there you placed it, its propably wrong...

woohoo, that works perfectly mate thanks guys.
