Hi all.

I'm trying to create a Prey like gravity system, where you can walk around on this "planet" with your sphere. But there are some major difficulties which I don't know how to do. When you walk around a "planet", the sphere should face the direction so that it really feels like you're walking on a planet. But I can't figure out how to do that. Can anyone point me in the right direction (I'm not asking you to code for me, but to help me to understand how I should code)?

Ok, here is what I want to do. If you are the sphere on top of the big sphere, and you just move forward, I want the perspective of it to change. On the top it faces to your left and when you've moved, it faces down, and it does so automatically. This is what I want do do, but don't know how. Can anyone help me?

I just wrote some code to do that a few days ago.




And here it is with a 3rd person camera
