Hello all. I'm using mousez() as a camera angle controlling device.

Instead of it needing to be pushed back (the mousewheel), I want it to increase the pitch of the camera with each click. Every time the mousewheel is clicked, one way or another, it adds 120.
Any help on this would be great.
Jim

Thats how mousez() works.
What I think you're after instead, is mousemovez(). Then divide that result by 120, and pitch camera accordingly.
