Uh... What will that help me Artak? Then I will get a fixed pos of 3000 which I don't want.

HERE IS THE ANSWER:

Simply, you cannot target a camera exactly vertically downwards.

You need it at an angle so the camera knows which way is 'up' and which is 'down' and which direction to face - even though it appears to be vertically downward.

So try this:

_camera camsetpos [_x,_y,10]
_camera camsettarget [_x,(_y+0.01),0]

Effectively you will get the same thing.

That's why I used _y=_y-1, but I'll try it again.
