rem tell camera to follow and point at chopper
SET CAMERA TO FOLLOW lifterx#,liftery#,lifterz#,camangle#,camrange#,camheight#,camscrl#,1
POINT CAMERA lifterx#,liftery#,lifterz#
note that the lifterx/y/z# variables are the player model location. In addition, I have not specified a sync rate, I am just using default (does it really matter?)
On further inspection, I have noticed the same sort of effect in most of the DB example code as well (where the models move in a jerky manner)
Is this because with a mouselook the display is constantly being updated? or is there something else I am missing?
cheers
