Hi! I want to give the player the option of viewing their character up close to see what it has equipped (it's an RPG). I want to do this by scrolling the middle mouse button down and up. Scrolling up brings the camera close to the character and scrolling down brings the camera to it's usual place (high up like Diablo 3). Now I have the getting close part by using:

and it works, but I don't know how to do the mouse scrolling down. I read that dbMouseMoveZ ( ) returns the difference of the last move. But I just don't know how to get this to work. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Use Google first... it's not rocket surgery!

dbMoveCamera(dbMouseMoveZ()/3);

mess around with the /3 bit to find a good value for your scale and game

Sorry I don't think I explained my problem correctly. What I'm doing is using dbSetCameraToFollow to make the camera view the object when the player scrolls up. But what I don't know is how to check if the player scrolls down on the mouse scroller.

MouseMoveZ will increase or decrease depending on the way the wheel moves. You can also use dbMouseZ i think to check against the move value. MouseMoveZ will only return the value that the mouse has moved since the last call. dbMouseZ keeps track if its actual position.

If it ain't broke.... DONT FIX IT !!!
