Ive been puzzling over this for hours and Im obviously being thick..but if someone could oblige...id be gratefull...

I have a particle effect at 0,0 on the screen
I have my one camera facing it.
I would like the camera to continue facing 0,0 but to rotate around the object..

Thanks in advance...

use a sperate object and point it at the effect then simply move the object left or right and continue pointing it at the effect. position the camera at the object and point it at the effect. Darkbasic will do the rest.\

Doh, thanks!

I suppose thats because a particle effect isnt an object, so there is nothing for it to rotate around?

Youre a star.
