I've been searching for this for ages, and I can't find a decent way of doing this. What I need is a camera code that allows the user to hold the mouse button then the camera will rotate freely.

I have just been using this code:



But the problem with it is when you click anywhere but the center of the screen it will jolt the camera to that rotation, I need it to the camera to only rotate when the mouse is moved. Hope that made sense to someone.

Thanks

Thanks for trying. But I'm afraid the problem is still there, if you click somewhere that isn't the center of the screen the camera will instantly rotate to that position or something like that. I need it so when you click somewhere the camera will stay in it's current rotation until you move the mouse while clicking.

Thanks again

The problem you're running into, is mousemove dosent update unless it's called. So if you only call it when you're trying to move, it'll give the location between there, and the last position it was called from, or something to that effect. This fixes it:


You can also use your origional rotate camera command, either or works.
