Thanks!

Sure, this is pretty simple, you simply have the position of the camera pointing at the 2 characters.

i think the code would be
position camera

My game will make sure Final Fantasy will never be forgotten.
Remember me because my game will be in the shops in a year or 2.

What kind of camera do you mean? Does it rotate around the fighters as they move?

I would be unstoppable if I could just get started...

i allways get confused with Tekken games, so what type of position do you need?

just pointing at the characters without rotation?

just pointing at the characters with rotation?

look inside the manual book, goto camera

You need to find the point that is the center between the 2 fighters and point the camera at that. As far as movement, if the fighters are always facing each other simply place the camera at the center point point it at one of the 2 fighters, yrotate it 90 degrees and move it backwards until it gets both fighters in view. That way it will be like the main camera in Tekken 2.
