Well I would like to know if anyone was interested in making different camera views in generals. not just from birdeye view but from ground looking up and other. Thanks for any help

You can do this is worldbuilder on a custom map. It's how I make Contra wallpapers.

I think he means to add this while playing the game. He wants to change his view at any time, while he plays Contra.

I dont think its possible with CnC engine, but im not sure. Maybe Creator can find a way...

It is not possible. There is no pitch control button and current ones (view rotating) are hard-coded. The 'GameData.ini' offers options for fixed camera pitch only.

ok thanks. i just wanted to make sure cos i think the only way people do it is when they make intro movies not while playing.

Hmm maybe its possible to convert from other game such as Rise and Fall (civilizations at war) if anyone played it they know what camera it has. when u scroll down it turnes up so u see sky and everyting from ground.

OMG i made it a bit messy still working on it. i was changing in gamedata ini the pitch moved down but it a bit messy like black stuff and water still working on it. any one want to help me i would be pleased this is what i did. i changed:
CameraHeight = 215.0
MaxCameraHeight = 550.0
MinCameraHeight = 20.0
CameraPitch = 25.5
wasnt that hard took me 2 min but is not best still need some coding. thanks for the file.

yep i made it i dont have the black stuff and water i selected to show entire terrian but i just got one thing and the topic can shut down. Routate the camera pitch i tried to do binds but it came up with error any ideas? but the view is perfect i got screen shoot of in comming plane looks nice. but idk how to paste it here. XD im actualy clever.

This is where a bug comes in from the game engine. Under a certain pitch, the terrain becomes transparent and you can see the water plane then. This also happens when you change it enough and look off into the distance, and you can see the terrain dissapearing. This is why I didnt consider this in the first place, too many bugs. But, il play around with it and see if there isnt a solution.

PS If you want to create a single scene of a unit in combat, you can go to Worldbuilder, setup the camera with a pitch and zoom, place your unit, have it shoot, etc, then take a picture.
