Ok, I am making a FPS and was wondering how could i control the camera with the mouse but not actually like move the camera out of its Current position. So Basically use the mouse to aim the gun. I whould also like to use the arrow keys to actually move the camera, (i know how to do this.) But is there a way i could limit how far the camera can move with the mouse? because otherwise it would be wierd for someone to be able to look behind them with there feet facing the other direction. Thanks in Advance!!
BTW im useing Pro

Well,
You could do something like the following:

Of course you would have to declare that the PLA_AGL_X and Y were in fact the current angle measurements of the camera.
Dunno if that helps
Does it?

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Use the scale object command, example:

load object "gun.3ds", 1
scale object 1, 500,200,300

this will resize gun.3ds to X=500%, Y=200% and Z=300%

Now that i got that all taken care of i need some help with this question. Since it is a FPS should i actually load a player model and set him behind the camera holding the gun? Because right now it looks like the gun is just floating in the air and eventually if i wanted to make a multiplayer game i guess I whould need it. But how to I put the gun in his hand? I know theres some kind of limb command but i cant figure it out. Thanks

That should be different model. Set it behind the camera, and position, animate it etc.

You will see it if you goto 3rd person view.
