im having a problem figuring out , what is the camera and rotation
for a top down shooter, as far as i see it
is that the camera needs to be way above player like for say 300 Y
and should be rotated towards the player ..
so its X or Y or Z rotate????????????? hmm
yeah that was a simple question , so i'll just debug it 3 times to see ....

im stupid.

ok i have found it
only that its the Z axis for the height
and 180 X rotation

i think thats good , it looks good. is it?

cause i know
that Y is the height in most cases...
and Z is depth..

so does DarkGdk draw its 3D axis from a point of view where the Z is the height instead of the Y ?

wierd.. or maybe i'm just way to high.

o.O I hope you meant that your camera was way too high.

& no, Y is "height"

if y is the height
then , what is a good code for a top down shooter?


dbPositionCamera(0,300,0);
dbRotateCamera(?,?,?) where do i rotate?

my current setting is
dbPositionCamera(0,0,300);
dbRotateCamera(180,0,0);

and it feels good , but yes the height here displayed as the Z value and not the Y value.

If you want the camera to point straight at the player then try this:



Replace OBJECT with the object you wish the camera to follow. If you want to know what all the arguments are then look it up in the Dark GDK Documentation.
