I am no expert but I seem to be missing the camera control code.
But like I say I am far from an expert.

For more info on using the camera I suggest the Binary Moon tutorials.
The section for Camera is here
http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?f=t02/bm_tutorial_21

sorry I could not be more help.

If object 1 is your car and X,Z are its coordinates:

cx# = newxvalue(x#,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+180),100)
cz# = newzvalue(z#,wrapvalue(object angle y(1)+180),100)
cy# = object position y(1)
position camera cx#,cy#+100,cz#
point camera x#,y#,z#

James,
Again, I ask that you DO NOT post with your thread titles like you have them.
It looks quite ugly on the board, and you MUST be alot more descriptive in the title, otherwise people will not reply.

Also, it apears that you have made no attempt whatsoever to code the camera movement yourself, or have even looked into the Syntax Error that occured with bibz1st's code.

Come back again when you have at least TRIED to do it yourself, and can show some code to prove it.
I refuse to write code for those that do not try it themselves first, but, I will however provide advice and point you in the right direction.
Provided that you are polite and friendly.

Thanks,
Jess.

James Bond,

If the camera is higher then what you want, change the cy# + 100, to a smaller number. If the camera is too close to the car then increase the last number of cx# and cz# (...,100))

I agree with JessTicular. Must people take offense to someone asking to just do this for me without showing that they have tried themselves.

But your new, so next time please show what you have already tried that way everyone knows that you tried.
