Top-Down View in game

by Darren Stuart · in Torque Game Engine · 09/20/2005 (5:33 pm) · 3 replies

Is it possible to have a top down view. I am trying to do a simple puzzle game but don't want first person or 3rd person view. I just want a static top-down view. HackIt has the sort of thing I want. Can it be done?

Look at the feature walkthrough to learn how to use the camera.

Hi Darren.

HackIt uses a static camera, that cannot be moved by mouse actions. This is the result of using a custom PlayGui, that has the mouse pointer enabled. We want the player to use the mouse pointer to select the puzzle elements.

It's not hard to do.

Hope that helps.
