SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW doesn't like the TURN OBJECT LEFT/RIGHT commands. You'll have to use Yrotate object in combination with WRAPVALUE (keeps a number between 0 and 360) to make the object turn. Then SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW will work.

Ex.

YRotate Object 1,WRAPVALUE( Object angle y(1)+1 )

for turning right.

Follow the link above and choose the Code Hints button on the left.

At the bottom of the screen you will see a menu with number of camera control methods (including working example DB code).

just this




---> = x


^
|
| = y
|

first it needed to be mousemovex(). that's the left/right direction

also, the mousemove commands return how far the mouse has moved in the x or y since the last loop, they don't return a 1 or 0 flag telling whether or not they have moved.
