Hey all...

I'm working on a 3rd person style camera, but I have a problem.

I have it set up so the mouse controls the player object's Y axis rotation, and the camera rotates with it, which works fine... but I can't figure out how to make the camera rotate around the object's X axis... at the moment it simply rotates around it's own X axis, meaning the player object doesn't stay in view. Here is the code I have so far...



I've been looking at EZrotate Enhanced, and it sounds like the Orbit command is what I need, but I'm not really sure how to incorporate it...

Can anyone give me any advice?

Argh!

Sorry, I forgot... I'm using DB Pro.

'Get Terrain Ground Height' is a valid command with the new Advanced Terrain plug in.

Thanks for pointing out my omission!

Yay! I worked it out!

It's amazing what you can achieve, when you just think about it for a bit!

GICO: I'm just using the example terrain that comes with the plugin at the moment, just to give me something to base my camera/movement code on.
