fps camera height

[Gilded Touch]

ok, i have this fps map based in a forest, no blizzard cliffs, and right now, the terrain is flat.
it's flat because idk how to calculate the height of the terrain and adjust the height of the camera to it. small prob thts getting in the way because if this, my forst is flat, and i'll probably have to move the map terrain back to in the city. which sux, because flat places make me sad.

now, if i could solve this delima, i would be infinitely happier, even if the map never makes it to the hive. i've tried to use the advanced first person camera tutorial, but i dont want my angle of attack to change with the terrain and i have tried to replicate it in gui, but it's not working.

• set loc - point of camera
• set h - GetLocationZ(udg_loc)
• call RemoveLocation(udg_loc)

h is real variable and represents height.

The same thing, but a bit more understandable.

• Actions
  • -------- Sets a point variable as the current camera's point, later it will be removed to kill leaks --------
  • Set TempPoint = (Target of current camera view)
  • -------- Sets 'Height', a Real variable, as the location's Z(or the location's terrain height) --------
  • Custom script: set udg_Height - GetLocationZ(udg_TempPoint)
  • -------- Kills leaks --------
  • Custom script: call RemoveLocation (udg_TempPoint)

so far, i've got the idea that you have to set the camera heightoffset to =
((height + targetzofcurrentcam) - heightoffsetofcurrentcam)
not working so i tried
((height + heightoffsetofcurrentcam) - targetzofcurrentcam)
not working

Set the camera Height Offset to (<Your standard real i.e. the offset you would have on flat ground>) + Height(the variable).

grr

grr this isnt working. can u try to figure this out?
so far the camera is devided into two parts, one third person camera for when the player isnot aiming, and one fps camera for when he is aiming
