Hello, This is what I am trying, I am flying a ship into a space port. I have the camera at the same XYZ and pan as the ship. where ever the turns or go there go ther camera, works fine. Camera 2 is with a object called ranger. Camera 2 as the same XYZ and pan as object ranger. Now when I land at the space port, I can press let say Key"p" and I swith to camer 2, code camera 2 vec_set(camera.x,ranger.x); vec_set(camera.y,ranger.y); vec_set(camera.z,ranger.z); vec_set(camera.pan,ranger.pan); and can walk all over the space port. all new control keys for camer2. Where the problem is that ranger object is not with the ship, so when I press key "p" I am out in space some place. Ranger is not where the ship is. This is some of the things I have tryed. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// vec_set(ranger.x,ship.x); vec_set(ranger.y,ship.y); vec_set(ranger.z,ship.z=50); ///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// I tryed this, but if I put it in a while loop some place, then I can not move If I put it not in a while loop the camera fails. I would like to be able to put the ranger at the ship when I go from in the ship camera to out of the ship camera or from camera 1 to camera 2 by pressing Key"p". I have put the code all over the place and I can not get it to work. The only time this line of code should be used is when I press p to go to camera 2. and never looked at again unless Key "p" is pressed again. Thank you renny CODE:

Hi,
I see that know one know what to do about this. Well let me ask this, if there is a way to have a action for a object that has not been loaded yet or have been deleted. Some thing like:
( if object (exist) then do this if not than don't do anything)
I just can't get camera number 2 to work right. All I need to do is put the object that camera2 is tied too at the ship when one want to get out of the ship and walk around. I have tried 50 ways and none work like I want.
Thank you
renny

rehash sample only -- untested, probably contains faults -- primary fault with original code ---- incorrect use of vec_set instructions? ------ vec_set sets all three elements of VECTOR x,y,z, using pointer to first element x of source VECTOR? ------ do not vec_set(v.y, -), vec_set(v.z, -)

Hi testDummy,
You are right, the code does not work, does not compile. I am going to look at very line of code and see if I can see what you are trying to do. Then I will try to make my code work using you code.
Thank you for all the work you went too.

Hi testDummy,
i don't see camera_pl_ship any place in the code you have here.
here is what you had for the func.
function camera_walking();
function camera_ship();
I could not find a func. camera_pl_ship
Thank you
renny
EDIT: OK I see that you have changedthe code, so i tryed it. But it does what my code does, the walk about camera is where the ship is at when the game start, so when I move the ship to in side the space port and goto the other camera I am out side where the ship use to be. But I thing with your help i am colse to working this out.
Thank you.
P.S. I sent you a PM.

Hi all and testDummy, I got the problem with the ranger fixed, what I did testDummt was this:
if (key_o) { // key_o sets to ranger mode
vec_set(pl_ranger.x, vector(pl_ship.x, pl_ship.y, pl_ship.z ));
vec_set(pl_ranger.pan,pl_ship.pan);
player1 = pl_ranger;
set(me, PASSABLE); // set ship to PASSABLE so ranger doesn't get stu
Now when I go from in the ship to out walking about I am right where the ship is. I still have to work on getting the ship to come up first instead of the player(walk about function.) I was thinking that would be easy, but it turned out to be the hard one to do. thank testDummy, you got me going here. renny

vec_set(pl_ranger.x, pl_ship.x);
That copies all 3 vectors, write this and no more...
the same with:
vec_set(pl_ranger.pan,pl_ship.pan);
copies the pan,tilt AND roll from pl_ship to pl_ranger.
