Sorry for all the questions lately but here's one more:

I need the camera angle(or client's eye) not to be at the centre of the screen but instead usr.x+1(right of the user's location)

i tried;

client
    eye = src.mob.x+1


But that completely failed.

Here is an example on how you would do this.

mob
    Move()
        ..()
        client.eye = locate(x+1,y,z)


This makes it so that the eye relocates based on the mob's position after every move.

Firstly, putting that right under login and not indented in the line after gives me 4 errors.

And if u do indent:

I've had a similar problem, I could only change client.eye when the client's mob was in view, try
mob/Login()
    src.loc=locate(5,5,1)
    src.client.eye = locate(src.x+4,src.y+3,src.z)

the problem with that is that the camera doesn't move with the player, it stays stuck at one location.

Well then I guess you could overwrite Move() or North(), South(), East(), and West() to move client.eye with the mob.

ooh yea, i know this!
ehm.. ooh damnd, too lazy.. forgot..
well.. it could be.. hhm.. try this:

mob/Login()
    src.loc=locate(5,5,1)
    src.client.eye = locate(src.x+4,src.y+3,src.z)
    src.client.eye += src //also try without src. in this line 

//that's how it works with a hud -_-.. maybe look at some hud sources... i'm too tired to think right now.

client
    perspective=EYE_PERSPECTIVE


That right there makes it so you can move the client.eye about without the fear of the dreaded "black screen" occuring.

no that doesn't work very well because now the camera is still fixed in one place and if u go out the view then it doesn't give me a black screen but the camera doesn't follow my guy out.

I need it so the camera is constantly moving with my guy, by camera i mean client eye i think.

Or, better yet...

client
    perspective=EYE_PERSPECTIVE
    
mob
    Move(New_Loc,Dir)
        if(..(New_Loc,Dir))
            src.client.eye=New_Loc
            return ..(New_Loc,Dir)
