The camera move to fast when I move the mouse.

No code include

+ Code Snippet

do

   CX#=Camera Angle X()
   CY#=Camera Angle Y()
   CZ#=Camera Angle Z()
   CX#=Wrapvalue(CX# + Mousemovey())
   CY#=Wrapvalue(CY# + Mousemovex())
   Rotate Camera CX#,CY#,CZ#

   if upkey()=1 then move camera 5
   if downkey()=1 then move camera -5

   sync
loop

Multiply the speed the camera moves at by some value, usually .1 or .01 works.

so;

+ Code Snippet

Rotate Canera CX#*.1, CY#*.1, CZ#*.1

When I put that code in the camera don't rotate anymore.
The camera jumps to his old position and stands right there.

There is no difference between .1 or .01, same problem.
Something wrong with the code above??

+ Code Snippet

set display mode 1024,768,32
hide mouse
sync on
sync rate 100
autocam off

load image "Grass.png",1
make matrix 1,1000,1000,100,100
prepare matrix texture 1,1,100,100
update matrix 1


make object box 2,10,150,200
position object 2,0,75,100
load image "background.png",2
texture object 2,2

load object "plain.x",4
position object 4,500,10,100

make light 1
position light 1,10,100,10

position camera 500,150,0
pitch camera down -20

do

   CX#=Camera Angle X()
   CY#=Camera Angle Y()
   CZ#=Camera Angle Z()
   CX#=Wrapvalue(CX# + Mousemovey())
   CY#=Wrapvalue(CY# + Mousemovex())
   Rotate Camera CX#*.01, CY#*.01, CZ#*.01


   rem Rotate Camera CX#,CY#,CZ#

   if upkey()=1 then move camera 5
   if downkey()=1 then move camera -5

   sync
loop

What your code was doing was making the camera angle value one hundredth of what it was the last loop. That means that if the camera angle x was 100, then without moving your mouse it would be 1 the next loop. The angle the next loop would then be .001. That is why it would always return to the angle of 0,0,0.

make light 1
position light 1,10,100,10

position camera 500,150,0
pitch camera down -20

do

   Rotate Camera camera angle x()+(mousemovey()/10.0),camera angle y()+(mousemovex()/10.0),camera angle z()
   if upkey()=1 then move camera 5
   if downkey()=1 then move camera -5

   sync
loop

Insanity is just a state of mind

Glad you got it sorted out, sorry I didnt look at the entire code I just jumped to the conclusion that it was similar to the usual camera rotation code, especially since it looked like it at first glance. Anyways this would've worked:

+ Code Snippet

do

   CX#=Camera Angle X()
   CY#=Camera Angle Y()
   CZ#=Camera Angle Z()
   CX#=Wrapvalue(CX# + (Mousemovey()*.1))
   CY#=Wrapvalue(CY# + (Mousemovex()*.1))
   Rotate Camera CX#,CY#,CZ#

   if upkey()=1 then move camera 5
   if downkey()=1 then move camera -5

   sync
loop
