how do you make a game where you have 4 different players and when you press p you toggle between them (and they all follow you and shoot and whatever)

also is 3rdps or fps best for that type of game

Hi Ollie,
Just incase you hadnt solved this already, this is the start of what i think you want to acheive, this lets you swap between characters using 1-4, now this is very simple code and does not cover all characters shooting or following, though with thought it could be developed into that.
The main thing i have to say about this is, you are asking a little too much to start with, " how do you make a game where you have 4 different players" etc. thats some heavy stuff there man, i havnt seen any games made in DB out there that do what you ask yet, so you have to ask why... ask a bit at a time and youll get answers.
Anyway i hope this helps a little, sorry it is slightly messy code.

Good Luck
Baggers

I believe you need to do something like this:

I umm...well, I don't know if that's right (I'm at work and can't test it before I submit) but anyway, just trying to help. Plug it in and see what goes

ORRRRR...lol you can do something like this (man I need the help file)...

The idea behind this is to reset the object pivot, but I see you already have them rotated 180 degrees... maybe if you take that out...? perhaps if you combine this code with the previous code. Always a help: look up the monster hunt tut. (3rd person view). http://developer.thegamecreators.com/?f=t01/3d_tutorial_4

cheers again!

Part of solving the problem is actually noticing that the problem is there in the first place
