Hello guys, i need a little bit help here.

i am working on an apache board cannon

But like you see, you can move the camera position to X and Y, but i want it upwards and downwards just like the camera position is (so not when you are facing south, that the camera goes north)

Is there any formule/method to get the position of up/down/left/right ?

If you're using the GetPlayerCameraPos function, just adjust the Z value ^^

Edit: Or do you mean as in rotating the camera's point to look at (Straight-forward, half-way down and stuff)? Then use SetPlayerCameraLookAt

Note that there isn't a "Get" function for it, so store the parameters in variables if you're going to use them later on.

I made a Lockheed AC-130U Spooky FS awhile ago but had no use for it. It isn't fully optimized, though I've tested it on a live server and everything seems to work fine.

Just walk up to a Shamal and press G. Since you're the gunner, someone else will have to pilot it (though you could make it work otherwise). And then you just use your up/down and left/right keys to look around and fire to shoot off bursts of minigun rounds.

Anyways, here it is:

EDIT: It requires MapAndreas by the way.

Nope, use SetPlayerCameraLookAt. I was kinda confused when you were telling me the problem ^^ (Check my 1st post)

I use that, but X and Y are not always the way the player looks. If the player is facing south as example the camera will go the wrong way. Thats what i mean how to fix that ?

Using GetVehicleZAngle in combination with floatsin/cos?

I might try helping it a hand, add me on MSN if you're interested (Found in my contact details of my profile).
