Looking good. Don't forget that you can restrict movement of the clicked on object by holding down the CTRL or ALT key. One work for X and the other for Y. Also, the camera can be dollied if the mouse cursor touches the edges of the screen. I can't recall if that can be turned off, but I recall that there are boundaries, so it won't dolly forever. Of course, the boundaries can be altered via a VAR tweak. Another feature is the ability to rotate the clicked on object. I can't remember the way to do it, but I'm sure it's in this thread or the readme file. I never finished that, so I don't think there's a rotate "snap" in place, yet.

yep thats very usefull brat
and no the rotage hasnt snapping and you must press the middle mouse key to rotate (I change thatbecause I havent a middle mouse key ^^)
new function added
you have the choice I you want to make the unused level transparent or invisible

great camera system,
now I must think what kind of game that I would make with this nice camera system...

how would i go about useing the left mouse button to rotate the map? i would like to use this in conjuction with a popup menu but i need the right mouse button for that.
sweet bit of code btw, i shall find untold uses for this.

In the cam.wdl is where the camera panning is handled:

Code:

---

	if(mouse_right == 1 || key_pressed(tl_key_scancode) || key_pressed(tr_key_scancode) || key_pressed(ldown_key_scancode) || key_pressed(lup_key_scancode))
	{
	    orbit_camera_pan -= (mouse_force.x * mouse_sensitivity * mouse_invert_pan) - 
	                    ((key_pressed(tr_key_scancode) - key_pressed(tl_key_scancode)) * mouse_sensitivity * mouse_invert_pan * time);
	    orbit_camera_pan = orbit_camera_pan%360;	//limit to 360 degrees

	    orbit_camera_tilt -= (mouse_force.y * mouse_sensitivity * mouse_invert_tilt) - 
	                     ((key_pressed(ldown_key_scancode) - key_pressed(lup_key_scancode)) * mouse_sensitivity * mouse_invert_tilt * time);
            orbit_camera_tilt = clamp(orbit_camera_tilt, orbit_min_tilt, orbit_max_tilt); //limit
        }

---

There are some checks in other parts of the system that check whether mouse_right and mouse_left are pressed or not. You'll have to change those if you change the above mouse_right to mouse_left. I'm guessing you'll have to switch all the rights to lefts and vice versa.

cheers mate, i got that to work, now i have run into another problem, i have a gui which will launch your code, it goes fine up until i hit the new game button, then i get a can`t find hero action error, i have deleted all the blocks from the wmb bar the grid one and the camera one, any thoughts on this please?

it`s ok i got it to work, i forgot to include the scripts into the main wdl, now all i need ot figure is a random star generator, and how a turn funvction works lmao, thanks again for this code.
