A little script for a World of Warcraft style camera. I deleted some lines that you dont need , eg. a collision check that does not work right if the script does not work , or give an error , post it because I havent tested it without those lines but I think it should work.
Hope you enjoy it.

Code:

---

var camera_distance = 400;

var zoom;

function player_act
{
	player = me;
	zoom = camera_distance;
	while(1)
	{
		if(key_space == 1)
		{
			if(ang(camera.pan) < ang(player.pan - 3))
			{
				camera.pan += 5 * time;
			}
			if(ang(camera.pan) > ang(player.pan + 3))
			{
				camera.pan -= 5 * time;
			}
		}

		if(mickey.z > 0)
		{
			zoom -= 25 * time;
		}
		if(mickey.z < 0)
		{
			zoom += 25 * time;
		}
		if(zoom < 40) { zoom = 40; }
		if(zoom > 600) { zoom = 600; }

		camera_distance = zoom;

		if(camera_control == 1)
		{
			camera.tilt += 6 * mouse_force.y * (time * 2);
			if(camera.tilt > 75)
			{
				camera.tilt = 75;
			}
			if(camera.tilt < -75)
			{
				camera.tilt = -75;
			}

			camera.pan -= 6 * mouse_force.x * (time * 2);
		}
		else
		{
			camera.pan += 6 * (key_left - key_right) * time;
		}
		camera.z = my.z - camera_distance * sin(camera.tilt);
		camera.x = my.x - camera_distance * cos(camera.tilt) * cos(camera.pan);
		camera.y = my.y - camera_distance * cos(camera.tilt) * sin(camera.pan);
		wait(1);
	}
}

function camera_control_init()
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(mouse_left == 1)
		{
			wait(8);
			if(mouse_left == 1)
			{
				camera_control = 1;
			}
			else
			{
				camera_control = 0;
			}
		}
		else
		{
			camera_control = 0;
		}
		wait(1);
	}
}

it dont working explain how i must include it and I think many things ar not defined (keyword unknown)

Code:

---

 var camera_distance = 400;

var zoom;

function player_act() 
{
	player = me;
	zoom = camera_distance;
	while(1)
	{
		if(key_space == 1)
		{
			if(ang(camera.pan) < ang(player.pan - 3))
			{
				camera.pan += 5 * time;
			}
			if(ang(camera.pan) > ang(player.pan + 3))
			{
				camera.pan -= 5 * time;
			}
		}

		if(mickey.z > 0)
		{
			zoom -= 25 * time;
		}
		if(mickey.z < 0)
		{
			zoom += 25 * time;
		}
		if(zoom < 40) { zoom = 40; }
		if(zoom > 600) { zoom = 600; }

		camera_distance = zoom;

		if(camera_control == 1)
		{
			camera.tilt += 6 * mouse_force.y * (time * 2);
			if(camera.tilt > 75)
			{
				camera.tilt = 75;
			}
			if(camera.tilt < -75)
			{
				camera.tilt = -75;
			}

			camera.pan -= 6 * mouse_force.x * (time * 2);
		}
		else
		{
			camera.pan += 6 * (key_left - key_right) * time;
		}
		camera.z = my.z - camera_distance * sin(camera.tilt);
		camera.x = my.x - camera_distance * cos(camera.tilt) * cos(camera.pan);
		camera.y = my.y - camera_distance * cos(camera.tilt) * sin(camera.pan);
		wait(1);
	}
}

function camera_control_init()
{
	while(1)
	{
		if(mouse_left == 1)
		{
			wait(8);
			if(mouse_left == 1)
			{
				camera_control = 1;
			}
			else
			{
				camera_control = 0;
			}
		}
		else
		{
			camera_control = 0;
		}
		wait(1);
	}
}

This should work. Just some missing parentheses

"camera_control"

I think this is the missing variable. It´s not
defined.

Define camera_control as global var, then it should work.

sorry I forgot about that.
The rotation when pressing space isnt working as it should be. Sometimes the camera rotates all around the entity , and the closest way wasnt in this direction...if you can understand what I mean
I will fix this soon , and try to add a collision detection. If someone wants to play with the script and come up with something post it.
