Hi, im new on forum and i am trying to do a FPS Game using Visual C++. Ive know a little bit about C++, but dont know much of the DB functions.
I saw the demo.cpp of Dark Dungeon sample, that came with Dark GDK and the use dbMoveCamera() to move camera and character. But using this the camera goes anywhere in the map, and i dont want it to go upwards or downwards... So is there any way of blocking this ?
I used dbMoveCameraLeft() and dbMoveCameraRight() to move camera sideways, but there is no function as dbMoveCameraFront() so, please help me on this...

save old camera angles
rotate camera to look forward
dbMoveCamera()
rotate camera back to what it was
dbSync();

you could run a check for the camera y, if it is higher or lower than what you want it to be, move it to where it needs to be,
something like

if(dbCameraPositionY() > highValue) dbPositionCamera(dbCameraPositionX(), highValue, dbCameraPositionZ());
if(dbCameraPositionY() < lowValue) dbPositionCamera(dbCameraPositionX(), lowValue, dbCameraPositionZ());

-to the optimist, the glass is half full. to the pessimist, it is half empty, to the engineer, it is twice as big as it needs to be.
