Hi there, I created a sort of sniper view for a gun (lol), but all that does is move the camera forward, now this works funny, but noit the way I want it too!

Because when I stand next to a house and press the right mouse button, I can see through the house! Now that's fun, but not right now (what does this smiley mean?)

There woulnd't be a function in dbpro to do this is there? If there really isn't then please give me a hint (or just tell me) how to do it, and I don't really want collision-programming because that's a hell of a slow way to do it (what does that thingy mean?)

thanks in advance
Jurgen

= Tux, ie Penguin, ie Linux Mascot. It looks more like a diseased rotten apple to me however.

= Very angry, Hulk style.

I think what you're looking for the Set Camera FOV command.

--Mouse: Famous (Avatarless) Fighting Furball

A very nice %it, indeed.

mouse, thanks for the quick response. The help file isn't to help-full about the command, what I want (because I've been unclear?!) is the camera to stay at its position, but to zoom, as a sniper would take a look through his scope.

Is this the command to do it? the helpfile gave me an example of which I can't isolate the meaning of it

FOV is exactly what you want. The camera does not move and it gives you that zoomed perspective.

Here's a bit of code which I use for altering the FOV. Use the right mouse to zoom:
