ok i just made another post because the other one had like 50 posts and i don't think anyone was reading it
. So:
i am making an fps, with an aiming system like counterstrike/halflife/battlefield 1942. for any of u unfamiliar with that, what happens is there is a crosshair which stays in the middle of the screen, and you move the mouse to aim. the gun is always pointing at the crosshair. Mostly THanks to zircher, i have gone this far in making the aiming system (no sarcasm intended). now, the problem is, if i move the mouse too much to the left or too much to the right, u cant see the gun anymore! its still pointing at the crosshair, i know that, but u cant see it cuz its rotating! how do i fix this? i will attach my code and hopefully someone can just take a look at it and offer a suggestion to fix this
. thanks in advance
oh yeah and zircher, just keep on posting on that other thread so we can keep our discussion going....

rem the technique that I'm going to use is that the camera is the player's head
rem and all movement and positions are based on that.
rem get the current position. We'll assume that world coordinates are in meters
rem so the camera is 175cm above the matrix

Y# = Get Ground Height(1,X#,Z#)
rem this is basically 'mouse sensitivity'
