I was wondering if anyone knew how to make a first person appear to be running, ie. camera moving up and down as I move forward.
I tried to use the wrap value with the sine function but every time it gets close to about 360 degrees the camera is placed extremly high aboue the matrix. here is the running code segment:

+ Code Snippet

rem run mechanics
run#=0
w#=w#+12
Rem  Control input for camera
If Upkey()=1
run#=(Wrapvalue(sin(w#))*10)
Y# = Get ground height(1,X#,Z#)+Jump#+run#
Position Camera X#,Y#+50,Z#

if more info is needed let me know, thanks

Change that to;

If w# < 360 Then w# = w# + 12 Else w# = 0

That should fix up your problem, as it now will only go from 0 to 360, and you can change it so that if you only want it to go to 180 you can have it that way etc.

Hope I Helped...

very dumb of me. all i had to do was remove the wrapvalue. i confused it with the angle command used to rotate the camera.
i included a little example of what i wanted in my game. I didnt want to put my full game code in b/c its like 30x the screen height

+ Code Snippet

make matrix 1,2500,2500,10,10
update matrix 1
run#=0
w#=0
do
sync on
hide mouse
ox#=camera position x()
oy#=camera position y()
oz#=camera position z()
w#=w#+12
Rem  Control input for camera
 if upkey()=1 then move camera 5
run#=((sin(w#))*2)
 if downkey()=1 then move camera -5
  run#=((sin(w#))*2)
if downkey()=0:if upkey()=0
run#=0:w#=0
endif
endif
x#=camera position x()
y#=camera position y()+run#
z#=camera position z()
h#=get ground height(1,x#,z#)+15
position camera x#,y#,z#
loop
