i always used to think that there were 360 degrees. but evidently there aren't. in my game, for the minimap, i made 4 triangle sprites. 1 of them points left, 1 right, etc.etc. i said if camera angle y()>315 and camera angle y()<45 then i made it use the first sprite and if camera angle y()>45 and camera angle y()<135 then i made it use sprite 2 etc. it didnt work, so i ran a test. i told it to post the camera y angle, and i found out that the degrees go from 0 to 90, from 90 back to 0, from 0 to -90, and from -90 to 0 again, if you keep turning right. why is this??? how can i get my sprite to face the same direction as the plane still? please help.

I wouldn't know why, but I can suggest a variable that stores the camera rotation (in other words, simulates the camera angle).

I'll check out if I have the same prob
/edit:
nope don't have it, maby you've put in some weird command like SET CAMERA ROTATION XYZ.
Or you could put your code (only the camera code) in a new file and see if there's any change

please reply

wrapvalue() should fix that for you.

wrapvalue doesn't fix it becouse the degrees go from 0 to 90, from 90 back to 0, from 0 to -90, and from -90 to 0 again.

post yer code, or portions of it

any difrences between there 2 codes?
