hi everyone, i'm a new DGDK user. i'm trying to create a cutscene for a game, it's like an intro before the game start. i want the camera to change its position during the cutscene after a few second, should i use dbWait() or dbSleep()? anyone could give me examples?

you would need a timer thing set up. There is this person named Jason, and he made this oop library that has a timer header file. I would use that.

Hm.... WHere is his oop library......

Oh yes-

dbTimer() is a little ambiguous. All it does is output an integer value that increments 1000 times a second. You have to manage the actual timing yourself. The header in Jason P. Sage's library is does that extra work for you.
