Every frame you make the camera fall, ie decrease the y value by a gravity constant, and then make sure that the camera is not below the floor by doing a while loop with a collision check.

That would be the same as
dbPositionCamera(dbCameraPositionX(),1,dbCameraPositionZ());
You would not need the if?

try this..
static int amount = 1;
dbPositionCamera( dbCameraPositionX(), dbCameraPositionY() - amount, dbCameraPositionZ() );

Then do you if. But you should use rays for gravity. Or somthing like sharky's collision.

If your terrain will be perfectly flat and you never change the value of amount yes. If amount changes then that if will cause you troubles.

You would need to do this.



other wise just use a static number. Also you really dont need the < check since you r only gong to be subtracting by 1. Will you even be under ground?
