is it possible to tell the engine that it shouldn't render the part of the level that lies beyond a certain layer (like y < 100)
i mean to make it possible to see through a wall, that lies between the player and the camera and consits of wed level blocks and some models

Mhh. Maybe u can create a Map Entity (or model) of the levelpart. Then u could apply a script like this
action _Render_me_or_not()
{
while(!player) wait(1); //wait for player entity
while(1)
{
if (vec_dist(my.x,player.x) < 100) reset(my,INVISIBLE|PASSABLE);
else set(my,INVISIBLE|PASSABLE);
wait(2);
}
}
This would set your levelpart invisible and passable if player is 100 away and show it when player is near. Hope this helps? Edit: If u mean that a wall gets invisible when camera is behind and player is infront, so that u can see the player. This is a bit more complicated. Never done it. Maybe u can make a c_trace from camera pos to see if it hits something. But that would mean, that u need to build your level with models or map entities cause i dont know a command to make blocks invisible. Maybe someone else.

Here is an example of my variation of Esper's idea... in the flesh... I will post a link to a complete demo of this code shortly...
BMAP* STW_bmap = "#16x16x24";
PANEL* STW_pan = { bmap=STW_bmap; alpha=75; flags = TRANSLUCENT | SHOW; }
VIEW* STW_cam = { bmap=STW_bmap; clip_near=1; flags = SHOW; }
void see_thru_wall_updater()
{
vec_set(STW_cam.x, camera.x); vec_set(STW_cam.pan, camera.pan);
if((STW_bmap.width!=screen_size.x)||(STW_bmap.height!=screen_size.y))
{
STW_pan.bmap=STW_cam.bmap = NULL;
bmap_purge(STW_bmap); bmap_remove(STW_bmap);
STW_bmap = bmap_createblack(screen_size.x, screen_size.y, 24);
STW_pan.bmap = STW_cam.bmap = STW_bmap;
STW_pan.size_x=screen_size.x; STW_pan.size_y=screen_size.y;
}
}

OK. HERE is a link to the demo. Its pretty crude at the moment, but it shows a promising proof-of-concept. Ive got a few ideas for improvement Ive yet to try, but because Im new to working with VIEWs, I am unable to estimate what sort of horsepower this process is going to require. I havent detected any noticable load, but as you can see, its only a very simple level with only one active entity. Ideas anyone?

Hell yeah, I wrote it for YOU as a mental exercise for myself.
If youve got any question about what its doing, or why, just ask here...
[edit] I will probably have further improvements and or suggestions
later on, so stay tuned...
At the moment, its a bit ugly... especially the floor being clipped...

Nah, its cool dude.
The other ideas for improving it Ive had so far have all been a bust.
So if you're happy, that will do...
