Yeah it should be SetPlayerCameraPos

X, Y and Z are the coordinates of the center (the 0 in the image) in your example it is the building



The code repeats itself till the state of the player isnt PLAYER_STATE_WASTED
And with each tick it increase the angle by one

pawn Код:

SetTimerEx("TRotate", 100, false, "ifffff", playerid, X, Y, Z, R, A + 1.0);

We know that cos(Angle) gets the x offset and sin(Angle) the y offset for the circle

And we know that cos and sin get always a value between [-1;1] (cosІ + sinІ = 1 [pythagorean])

To get our circle with the correct radius we just multiply the cos / sin with our wanted amplitude

=> X = CENTER_X + cos(Angle) * Radius; Y = CENTER_Y + sin(Angle) * radius;

And Z = CENTER_Z + 10 for a nice camera position

++variable / variable++ are in pawn the same like --variable / variable--
variable ++ = variable + 1, variable -- = variable - 1
(the operator can be found in float.inc)

Thats the main function where we create our temporary textdraw

pawn Код:

stock StartChange(playerid, Float: X, Float: Y, Float: Z, Float: cX, Float: cY, Float: cZ) {
    new Text:gText = TextDrawCreate(0.0, 0.0, "_");
    TextDrawUseBox(gText, true);
    cbOpacity(playerid, gText, 0, false, X, Y, Z, cX, cY, cZ);
}

Here you can see that the parameter down is set on false (down is only a flag, you could it call how you want)

First is that part executed till it reach 255 (0xFF) the full opacity

pawn Код:

//
        if(++opacity >= 255) { // Where did you define ++opacity and what is it?
            SetTimerEx("cbOpacity", 100, false, "iiib", playerid, _:tText, opacity, true);
            SetPlayerCameraPos(playerid, cX, cY, cZ);
            SetPlayerCameraLookAt(playerid, X, Y, Z);
            return;
        }

Than if its fully dark we change the camera position
And we call now our other code, so it vanish again

pawn Код:

"iiib", playerid, _:tText, opacity, true)

down is now set to true and this code is executed

pawn Код:

//
        if(--opacity <= 0) { // Where did you define --opacity and what is it?
            TextDrawDestroy(tText);
            return ;
        }

with that the code will stop repeating itself
at least we destroy our temporary textdraw => end

Good luck
