I need a snippet that makes a camera/movement like zelda 64:

when you hit the keys your character automaticly turns that way and runs that way. The camera follows the character but dosn't always turn the way he's facing. when you hit a key the camera wrapps around to the character (left or right, whatever is shorter)

this is a tought code but would be much appericated

I would like to know how to do this also, a game idea I have, requires multiple camera's, so I would like to see a code of this, if possible.

Thx,

'Help->Examples->Basic 3D->25.Sliding collision'

The example in help on sliding collision has the set camera to follow command. Try it as is.
Now:
Mess about with the angle# variable, start by
rem'ing out the command that says

angle#=object angle y(11)

using
` or rem.

Try it again. The camera doesn't rotate with the cylinder.

Now you can see that by setting the variables for angle# and camheight# and camdist# using say, keys F1 to F4 you can create this camera system you want
