Can someone please help me, I want to only rotate the camera when the right mouse button is pressed, but its recording when the mouse is moved and jumping to the new coords when the rmb is pressed, I want it to stay where it is when the rmb is pressed then be able to move around. Sorry its hard to explain.

hey, i'd be glad to help if we can get some more specifics on what you're trying to do. in fact, you will probably be able to help yourself a fair bit if you write your problem out in psuedo-code.

is this what you're trying to do:

if right_mouse_button is pressed
move as per input from the user
else
don't move camera around
endif

by 'record' are you meaning to store this information in a file? in an array? just to actually move the camera?

cheers

-= i only do what my rice krispies tell me to do =-

just wrap your mouse movements in a condition test, within the main loop:


intMouse as Integer
intMouse=Mouseclick()
if intMouse=2
...do whatever...
endif

OK, Im doing an editor, but with my own camera movement style that I like, I want to be able to move backwards and forwards, left and right with the cursors. The camera will only rotate when the RMB is pressed allowing me to move the mouse cursor over to the control panel on the left without the camera rotating, The problem is the camera seems to remember when the RMB hasnt been pressed so it jumps to where the mouse cursor has been, not where it currently is. Thats the best I can explain it.
