Ok I fixed it, here is the full script as simple on/off-Button-HUD: //based on Linden Labs //Dan Linden integer on = FALSE; key agent = "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"; // avatar key // colors see http://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Category:LSL_Color vector red = <1.000, 0.255, 0.212>; vector blue = <0.000, 0.455, 0.851>; overhead_cam() { llOwnerSay("overhead_cam_new"); // say function name for debugging vector xyz = llGetPos(); float xx = 234.0; float yy = 36.0; float zz = 30.5; float zz2 = 8.0; if (xyz.x < xx) { xyz.x = xx - xyz.x ; // x + diff = newPos } else { xyz.x = (xyz.x - xx) * -1; // x + (minusDiff) = newPos } if (xyz.y < yy) { xyz.y = yy - xyz.y ; // y + diff = newPos } else { xyz.y = (xyz.y - yy) * -1; // y + (minusDiff) = newPos } if (xyz.z < zz) { xyz.z = zz - xyz.z ; // z + diff = newPos } else { xyz.z = (xyz.z - zz) * -1; // z + (minusDiff) = newPos } vector xyz2 = xyz; xyz2.z = xyz.z - zz2; xyz = llGetPos() + xyz ; xyz2 = llGetPos() + xyz2 ; rotation camRot = llGetCameraRot(); llSetCameraParams([ CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1, // 1 is active, 0 is inactive CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_ANGLE, 20.0, // (0 to 180) degrees CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_DISTANCE, 3.0, // ( 0.5 to 10) meters //CAMERA_FOCUS, <0,0,5>, // region relative position CAMERA_FOCUS, xyz2 + <0.0, 0.0, -180.0> * camRot, // region relative position CAMERA_FOCUS_LAG, 0.05 , // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_FOCUS_LOCKED, TRUE, // (TRUE or FALSE) CAMERA_FOCUS_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters // CAMERA_PITCH, 80.0, // (-45 to 80) degrees CAMERA_POSITION, xyz , // region relative position CAMERA_POSITION_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_POSITION_LOCKED, TRUE, // (TRUE or FALSE) CAMERA_POSITION_THRESHOLD, 4.0 // (0 to 4) meters // CAMERA_FOCUS_OFFSET, <0,0,0> // <-10,-10,-10> to <10,10,10> meters ]); } default { state_entry() { llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA | PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA ); llSetCameraParams([CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1]); // 1 is active, 0 is inactive integer perm = llGetPermissions(); if ((perm & PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA) == PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA) { llSetCameraParams([CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1]); // 1 is active, 0 is inactive llOwnerSay("Camera permissions have been taken"); llSetColor(blue, ALL_SIDES); llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, blue, 1, 10, 2]); } } touch_start(integer total_number) { if (on == FALSE) // overhead an { llOwnerSay("take_camera_control, press ESC after first time touched to change view to object"); llRequestPermissions(agent, PERMISSION_CONTROL_CAMERA | PERMISSION_TRACK_CAMERA); llSetCameraParams([CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1]); // 1 is active, 0 is inactive overhead_cam(); llSetColor(red, ALL_SIDES); llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, red, 1, 10, 2]); on = TRUE; } else if (on == TRUE) // overhead aus { llOwnerSay("release_camera_control"); // say function name for debugging llSetCameraParams([CAMERA_ACTIVE, 0]); // 1 is active, 0 is inactive llReleaseCamera(agent); llSetColor(blue, ALL_SIDES); llSetPrimitiveParams([PRIM_POINT_LIGHT, TRUE, blue, 1, 10, 2]); on = FALSE; } } } only last thing is, the new view differs a bit depending on position, avatar stands when pressed button, but this is ok for first. And pressing ESC when first time used to change to new view is still needed.

i have an additional question: I want to set Camera to a special region based Camara Co-ordinates and then rotation turn to ground (use with a hud, not connected to a prim). I tried it with this one: overhead_cam() { llOwnerSay("overhead_cam_new"); // say function name for debugging default_cam(); vector xyz = llGetPos(); // change to postition <234.5, 34.0, 26> llOwnerSay("positionx " + (string) xyz.x); // old positions llOwnerSay("positiony " + (string) xyz.y); llOwnerSay("positionz " + (string) xyz.z); if (xyz.x < 234.5) { xyz.x = 234.5 - xyz.x ; // x + diff = newPos } else { xyz.x = (xyz.x - 234.5) * -1; // x + (minusDiff) = newPos } if (xyz.y < 34.0) { xyz.y = 34.0 - xyz.y ; // y + diff = newPos } else { xyz.y = (xyz.y - 34.0) * -1; // y + (minusDiff) = newPos } if (xyz.z < 26) { xyz.z = 26 - xyz.z ; // z + diff = newPos } else { xyz.z = (xyz.z - 26) * -1; // z + (minusDiff) = newPos } xyz = llGetPos() + xyz ; llOwnerSay("positionx " + (string) xyz.x); // new positions llOwnerSay("positiony " + (string) xyz.y); llOwnerSay("positionz " + (string) xyz.z); llSetCameraParams([ CAMERA_ACTIVE, 1, // 1 is active, 0 is inactive CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_ANGLE, 180.0, // (0 to 180) degrees CAMERA_BEHINDNESS_LAG, 0.5, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_DISTANCE, 3.0, // ( 0.5 to 10) meters //CAMERA_FOCUS, <0,0,5>, // region relative position CAMERA_FOCUS, xyz, // region relative position CAMERA_FOCUS_LAG, 0.05 , // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_FOCUS_LOCKED, TRUE, // (TRUE or FALSE) CAMERA_FOCUS_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters CAMERA_PITCH, 80.0, // (-45 to 80) degrees CAMERA_POSITION, xyz, // region relative position CAMERA_POSITION_LAG, 0.0, // (0 to 3) seconds CAMERA_POSITION_LOCKED, TRUE, // (TRUE or FALSE) CAMERA_POSITION_THRESHOLD, 0.0, // (0 to 4) meters CAMERA_FOCUS_OFFSET, <0,0,0> // <-10,-10,-10> to <10,10,10> meters ]); } It sets the cam to the position i wish, but has following problems: -1- screen is black after use button -2- Rotation is still turned to avatar, not to ground -3- camera_focus and _position are same here, but i could not find other settings, that worked... What can i do better?
