H!

I have a 3d world , and a player is moving there :)
Then I placed some walls,objects in that world and the player can't go through that :)

but when a player collided with a wall then the camera must stop moving

and the code don't work !

the player does stop but the camera is still moving.
Why ?

If KeyDown(key_arrowpad_up)
	If Not EntityCollided(Object,scene_type)
		MoveEntity Object,0,0,0.035
		MoveEntity camera,camX%,camY%,camZ%+0.035
	End If	
EndIf

why don't you parent the camerayou'll need to post more of your code to see whats wrong i think. but

moveentity camera,camx%,camy%,camz%+0.035

why not use

MoveEntity camera,0,0,0.035

might help

that's all the code

exept

global camera
global object

The first thing I tried was


but please more information about that parent thing.
I never understand that parent/childeren thing.

I want like tomb raider a camera that follows the object.
that's all.

thanks
MoveEntity camera,0,0,0.035

but that wasn't working too.

Writing a camera system is harder than it looks, but a very simple parented camera goes something like this:

object = CreateCube ()
cam = CreateCamera (object) ; Make 'object' camera's parent...
MoveEntity cam, 0, 1, -10 ; Move camera up and back from cube...

Now instead of moving the object *and* the camera, just move the object and the camera will follow, as it's attached to its parent. This isn't a very good camera system, but it should explain what joker means by parenting the camera to the object...
