I want to create a toybox, where you have to fly with Spaceships an sdestroy some enemys or/and buildings.

Is is possible, do let the Players have a cameraview and moving like in this Video?



It would be so great, if i would be able to create a Level like in the old Lylat Wars Game.

I haven't tried but maybe if your ship and the camera are on the same path at the same speed. Focus on a locator slightly ahead of the vehicle. You wouldn't have control of the ship though...the path would control it. You could just aim...

Thx for reply. Hmm i would like to control myself, so i think thats not the solution i was hoping to get. Other opinions and ideas?

You could try setting up a camera behind your ships initial position and set it to focus on the character. No paths would be involved here. It sounds simple and may be too good to be true.

Positioning will be trial and error.

EDIT: I watched the video during my lunch break. To me, it looks like the default camera is in a very similar position. I am not sure what I am missing though...
