Is possible to achieve isometric view?

Hi!

I just downloaded the Sandbox enginge, and started to know it.
But before i got deeply involved, i'd have some question:

Is it possible to achieve a isometric view, maintaining the 3D world?

I'd like to get something similar to Diablo 2.
I know Diablo 2 is 2D.
My goal is to achieve a similar view with 3D models, and all of the features of 3D.

Thanks.

So, you want 2 change the view of the camera?

Is that your question?

Ah, interesting question. I suppose it would be possible if you found the right source code to edit

yeah, but that's also the hardest thing I think (if you're cood in coding)

Exactly. I wouldn't know the first thing about making it isometric in Cubescript, but if you carefully edited the source code it might work. But I don't know C++ so...

Well the side scroller changed the camera direction dramatically so you know it's possible.

Practicaly yeah.

But other than that, i would still needed the projected coordinates of the cursor.

I think, it would be possible, although i didn't saw the code yet.

I'm not 100% sure but i think you can accomplish this with scripting? I don't think you need to mess with the "Source Code"

lol Have fun doing that in CS

Actualy i rather mess with the code, since C++ is more familiar to me than a first saw script language.
