   Hi guys,

   I've been fooling around with zooming in on a tilemap using the camera. However, when I look in camera.h and camera.m there is nothing that will return me the current X Y Z values of the camera. I need the current values in order to set new values because if I just pass 0.0f to the ones I don't need to modify, it messes it up.

   Is there some place else I should be looking for this?

   Thanks,
   Sunsu

   I looked at the camera class and noticed a description method.
   Maybe you could alter the code a bit so it will return you an array of 3 floats. The CenterX, CenterY and CenterZ.
   Sorry if I'm talking gibberish, but perhaps it's possible... let us know..

   Hey, I'm also having the same issue trying to get a hold of the centerX float. I tried writing a method like the getZEye function but found that I'm just running deeper into a hole and getting nowhere. There's another post called "Getting the position of a layer's camera" about this same issue, but the code that's posted their, namely
   "float objX;
   float objY;
   float objZ;

   [mainLayer.camera centerX:(float *x)objX centerY:(float *y)objY centerZ:(float *z)objZ];"

   doesn't work at all. I came upon this issue just trying to use NSLog(@"CameraX = %f", camera->centerX);
   which gives and error that says centerX is protected, but I can't figure out why that would be the case, anyone know how to do this properly?

   Old post I realize with no resolution. So is there a way to get camera x,y,z values? Sorry if this has been answered in other posts but search resulted in nada. Using 0.99.

   Below the search results there is a link to search on google, that's usually more successful than the normal search engine, link.
