I seem to have a small problem with my camera, I have a routine set up for a first person camera and the WASD keys to move, i have created a very low polygon "room" and i can move around freely inside, however, i can move forward, back, left and right fine and when standing still rotating the camera with the mouse is fine, but when i move with the keys and rotate the camera at the same time it get really jerky and looks... well... terrible

I've tried using the arrow keys, just incase my keystate routines caused the problems, but that didn;t help, I've tried Sync rates lower resolutions, i just can't understand what the problem is.

i think i've found a solution:

replace

cx#=wrapvalue(cx#+mousemovey())
cy#=wrapvalue(cy#+mousemovex())
cz#=wrapvalue(cz#+mousemovez())

with

cx# = curveangle(Camera Angle X()+(MouseMoveY()), Camera Angle X(), 10)
cy# = curveangle(Camera Angle Y()+(MouseMoveX()), Camera Angle Y(), 10)
cz# = 0

The problem was that the mousemovex...z return really hard values. like, the first frame they are 300, the second they are 0 or something. this makes the movement a bit jaggy. so if you smooth them using curvevalue, it get better! and also, making a matrix also makes it look a bit jaggy, so you better not make a matrix, only use it in early stages i think

sadly it still seems to be a bit laggy and jaggy, i really don't understand why, i removed the matrix and changed the "wrapvalue" bits but it still goes all laggy when i move and rotate the camera at the same time the model i'm using has less that 600 polygons i have a pretty good spec machine that will run stuff a million times more detailed than this, surely textures wouldn;t make it do this would they?

Mouse Z is your mousewheel. Angle Z is roll. You need neither.
