I have the camera following my object
and when I press left, the object rotates left
press right it rotates right

but, how can I get the camera to follow only the back of my object, so the camera spins around when my object spins?

(I'm using Darkbasic Lite)

this is tricky because i don't know how you have tackled your problem. but i can help. the only thing is there r thousands of ways to tackle this problem.

i have done this lots of times but i can't really help you if don't know what your source code looks like. so if you want help then please cody your source code in to a word document then send the word document to - The_13th_warrior@hotmail.com - i can then view it and i will be able to help you garentied. i don't need your models or texture just your source code becasue i am not going to run your program.

its posted above.... just click the source button....

download the walktest.zip here
it has a dba with camera control subroutines with media included so you can run it directly

PS
this part is wrong :
a#=object angle x(2)
a#=object angle y(2)-100
a#=object angle z(2)
you can't store in the same angle variable (a#) the value of 3 different angles

and here:
a#=object angle y(2)-100
this is offsetting the angle by -100 so it can't stay behind

so here :
cx#=newxvalue(x#,wrapvalue(a#),-300)
cz#=newzvalue(z#,wrapvalue(a#),-300)
cy#=get ground height(1,cx#,cz#)
you should use the object angle instead that is aY# in your case
to stay behind the character
cx#=newxvalue(x#,wrapvalue(aY#),-300)
cz#=newzvalue(z#,wrapvalue(aY#),-300)
cy#=get ground height(1,cx#,cz#)
point camera x#,y#+5,z#
