Hi, could someone good at advanced commands please help me with this? I got really far and now I'm stuck. I want to make it so no matter what, the arm always moves in whatever way the selected rotation icon shows. The way it is now, that only happens at the beginning. Consecutive changes always mess it up.

I didn't try your link, but maybe you could do it like this:

TFormVector -1, 0, 0, camera, 0  ;tform vector from camera-space into global space
TranslateEntity arm, TFormedX(), TFormedY(), TFormedZ() ;move arm

Would you mind stepping me through it a little? I'm not good at this kind of stuff.
