Hi everyone
I've been trying to follow this Mode 7 tutorial through but I can't seem to get it to work. I can get as far as the part where you sprite map the player sprite in front of the camera but I can't get that to work. I thought of just having the player sprite just in the centere of the screen but the problem remains for the enemies (or anything else for that matter).
So I know there are a few people with experience with this extension. I was wondering if you could help me out. Here is a link to the tutorial that I was going by.

I guess the theory seems sound but almost nun of the actual syntax is strictly correct. Fore instance in the place where you are supposed to sprite map the player sprite to in front of the camera it has this.
>always
-set X position of player sprite to GetmapXZ( X(real player)-(X size of window), Y(real player))
-set Y position of player sprite to GetmapYZ( X(real player)-(X size of window), Y(real player))
However GetmapXZ and GetmapYZ have 3 peramiters, not 2. Also, I don't know where "X size of window" is to be found. There is a Frame Width, Virtual Frame Width, X Position of Left side of the screen. Sorry but I'm really stuck here. I wont to incorporate this into my HE engine and my game but it's not being very cooperative.
Anyway, here is a download link to what I have done so fare. Agen, I'd really appreciate any help. O.o

Hmmm... I know you can get the X size of the current window somehow as the width of the actual screen (and not frame). Try using the Window Object or whatever it's called and see if that works.

i have an extremely good tutorial somewhere, give me a moment to upload it somewhere.

Credit goes to Firemonkey for this.
It's a MMF1.5 cca file but opens fine in my copy of MMF2.
The tutorial uses some advanced formula to map 2d sprites to the mode 7 race track which should be really helpful to you.
To be honest a lot of it is right over my head but I'm sure with a little patience anyone can understand whats going on.
If you're wondering how the ai car is actually moving, it's using path movement (took me ages to work that out lol)
