As you probably can see from my other posts I am having a lot of problems with the camera it seems that the camera does not want to point in the direction I am traveling in, so I have decided that it would be better anyway to allow the player to look around with the camera via mouse. But I dont know how. How do I look around with the camera. thanks in advance and I hope this will be my last post(on this subject anyways).

that kind of works but I can only look up and down not left or right, I noticed that when I deleted the set camera to follow command the mouse look worked fine the problem is that without that piece of code the camera does not follow the tank this is getting very frustrating

the source code below is my intire program pleas paste it into darkbasic and see if you can make it work you will need a "tank6.x" and "stab06.bmp" the tank is in media under models>static>t
the "stab06.bmp" is under bitmaps>arcade>stone please help me I dont know how long I can keep sane

Ah, now thats very simple to fix:



if you want the camera to be atop of the tank, then just put +15 behind "object position y(1)"

btw, about your "print" x/y/z:



it will make a nice clean list of it, <you dont have to change it if you want to>
