some newbish questions

1) how can i move the camra in the editor like useing the mouse weel in game does?

2) How can i get my map to play a sound like forestwhat3.mp3 useing triggers, when i try i cant select any sounds, only "last played sound"?

3) when you place a camra in the editor does it face the point you are looking at?

thx guys.

Yeah, it points exactly where the arrow is pointing from the camera.

not sure if i understand what you're asking, but here's an attempt at an answer...


you first need to import the sounds into your map. just go into the sound editor and you can find all the sounds from the whole game, and once you find the right sound, there should be a 'use sound' type option when you select one (i dont have editor open but its something like this). then when you are using sounds via triggers, you will be able to select the sounds that you have imported.

First add the sound to the Sound Editor. Then in the Sound Editor, right click on the sound file you just added. Select "Use as Sound" from the pop-up menu. Then in your trigger, it should appear under the "Variables" combo box.

EDIT: Umm sorry for this post. Sorbitol posted 1 minute before me. I didn't realize he posted the answer before me!

thx a lot guys, that really helped, ne1 know about my first question?

Well, in the Editor, goto the Camera Palette. (Window->New Palette->Cameras). Create a Camera and change the properties to the way you want it. Then select the camera and click the button "View Selected Camera".
