I would like to pan the camera from 3rd person, onto the gun, and then fade in the sprite (or slide it in from the bottom of the screen).

is there a way to make a sequence of actions when shift is pressed? normal view ->to the gun from over the shoulder -> then fade the sprite in

this is what i have so far, plz help me

you could have something like a time-variable that in increases while the key is pressed.
then you check this variable against certain values and perform actions when you want to...
some thing like this: (pseudo-code)


To improve this you would increase the 'time' variable by a certain time-constant to make it perform at the same speed on any system...
Hope this helps understand timed actions!

maybe you could dbPointObject the camera at the guns position and move towards it each step...

darn, my camera doesnt really have a number, is possible to just create a new camera and use that for just this operation then return to the main camera after the sequence is over?
