yo yo wazzup good? ok fine.. any way.. heres my problem::
u c.. in DarkBASIC not DBpro. i have created this super cool game well so far, but i cant find out how to make the character pick up a weapon or something like that.. and hold it in his hand, so that when i push the mousebutton1 (the left) he shoots... the game is in third person mode..
and 1 more thing.. i dont know how to use the mouse to look around,like in the game "harry potter" hope some1 can hear my screams for HELP!!! tnx

Yes Glue object to limb will make him hold the weapon. For the mouse look around, adapt the code from the fps example tutorial code

yhea ive tried that but, it didnt work for me.. it was like n first- third person game.. i told u the game is a third person game.. and i want 2 be able 2 look around the character while the camera always points at the characters back.. so when i turn the mouse right to look right the character also turns right and the camera is STILL pointing at its back.in the fps code it is how to look around in first person mode..

My code basically just rotates the camera around the character, if thats what you wanted, was it?

Oh yeah, i forgot to point the camera at the character, this code will do it.

Rem charx#,chary# etc= character pos
Rem camx# etc=camera pos - camangle# = camera angle
camangle#=camangle#+mousemovex()
camx#=newxvalue(charx#,camangle#,camdist#)
camz#=newzvalue(charz#,camangle#,camdist#)
position camera camx#,camy#,camz#
point camera charx#,chary#,charz#

Yum! Yum! Yum! Yum!
