in my level i have overlapped water rooms overlapping the playable rooms outside to create my snow effect. the trouble is that when i put flyby cams in these playable rooms and trigger them and then go to play the level the cameras are not in the playable rooms they are in the overlapped water rooms which are untextured, the the flyby cam's just wizz through all the overlapped water rooms instead of the playable rooms, and i definately placed them all in the playable rooms, is there any way round this or will i either have to get rid of these overlapped water rooms (snow effect) or not have fly bys cams in my level oh and when i move the overlapped water rooms away from the playable rooms the flyby's work! but no snow effect!

Try placing the fly-by in the water rooms, maybe it'll show the fly-by sequence in the playable rooms then?

Disconnect the over lap rooms from their positions i.e. move those rooms to somewhere else in the map temporally and then re-apply the cameras to the desired rooms.
Test the level now to ensure all works and then replace the overlap rooms and test again.

If this does not bring about the required solution, then it could possibly be that the flyby cameras will not function in the same area as the overlap rooms.

Does the overlap room have a lower room number than the playable room? If so, maybe giving the playable room a lower room number would make it work.
Just copy the overlap room then delete the original. That should give it a higher number.
