There removed, I removed it in my own code as well. Thanks.

didn't riq said "[[self camera] restore]; // DON'T call any other camera method after this method."

Thanks everyone, I solved it. I didn’t realize how many options there are associated with the camera, but using the Already predefined Z values did the trick. Just in case anyone else has the same problem,
this is what I did:

float centerX;
	float centerY;
	float centerZ;

	float eyeX;
	float eyeY;
	float eyeZ;

	float upX;
	float upY;
	float upZ;

	[[self camera] centerX:&centerX centerY:&centerY centerZ:&centerZ];
	[[self camera] upX:&upX upY:&upY upZ:&upZ];
	[[self camera] eyeX:&eyeX eyeY:&eyeY eyeZ:&eyeZ];

	[[self camera] setEyeX:[player img].position.x  eyeY:[player img].position.y eyeZ:eyeZ];
	[[self camera] setCenterX:[player img].position.x centerY:[player img].position.y centerZ:centerZ];
	[[self camera] setUpX:upX upY:upY upZ:upZ];

Thanks again.

[[self camera] setCenterX:[[player img] position].x centerY:[[player img] position].y centerZ:0];
[[self camera] setEyeX:[[player img] position].x eyeY:[[player img] position].y eyeZ:0];

you sohuldn't position the z to 0, get the camera's centerZ and eyeZ values and use them so the z values always remain the same.

Thanks, That is the perspective that I want from doing that, everything flat, But how would I pan the layer. I got it to work with self.position, but I wanted to do it the "right", as seen by a previous thread with the camera.

Thanks for the help

just don't mix [[self camera] restore];] with the other methods.
just try:

[[self camera] restore];
// DON'T call any other camera method after this method.

Thanks for the help. I just tried the above,

[[self camera] restore];
	[[self camera] setCenterX:[[player img] position].x centerY:[[player img] position].y centerZ:0];

Gives me that same thing, (this is all in the gameLayer class.)
and the

[[self camera] restore];
	[[self camera] setCenterX:[[player img] position].x centerY:[[player img] position].y centerZ:0];
	[[self camera] setEyeX:[[player img] position].x eyeY:[[player img] position].y eyeZ:0];

Gives me the black screen of death and sadness.

Is there some demo out there the uses camera? I have searched, and have found nothing.

Thanks for the help and speedy reply,

try with:

[[node camera] restore];

Hi! You should also center the camera's eye to the player. Also you have to set the z of the center and eye to the default of the camera.

I am trying to eliminate the 3rd dimension. I am trying to make every tile, a square, 16px by 16px, the original setup. I am trying to eliminate the rotation of the the layer. Eliminate perspective.

Thanks for the help.

Not sure what you're trying to achieve? What do you mean by flat? The entire background or just the purple square in the middle.

Hello,

Sorry if this is really basic, I am new to cocos2d.

The cocos camera object has been giving me so many troubles.

In this circumstance, a picture is worth a thousand words.

So I am wondering how to make that Flat. The only camera code that I have is:

[self.camera setCenterX:[player img].position.x centerY:[player img].position.y centerZ:0];

Thanks for the help. And sorry if it was already on the forums. I searched camera for help, but found nothing pertaining to my problem.
