Hey,
In my game that i am making this is the code that i am using for my camera, it is simple but unfortunatly it doesn't work properly, it will follow the character but it won't turn as the character does which makes it hard to see where i am going.

Thanks

There are a few camera controlling routines on my web site if you want to check them out. (Link in sig at bottom of post).

You should find what you are after in the 'Code Hints' section.
