| Can any one help me to rotate a camera on all axis with mouse? I've tried to do this on my own, but everytime i've turned the camera on one axis the other one will be messed up :( If you don't understand me then maybe you have played Freelancer? Turning the ship there is pretty much what i want. |

| I use multiple pivots and only turn each one in one direction. eg. Rostrum_Pan=createpivot() Rostrum_Tilt=createpivot(Rostrum_pan) Rostrum_Roll=createpivot(Rostrum_tilt) camera=createcamera(Rostrum_Roll) Then when you want to turn on X axis, use TurnEntity rostrum_pan,xx,0,0 and for y TurnEntity rostrum_tilt,0,xx,0 and for z TurnEntity rostrum_roll,0,0,xx |

| ;******************************************************************************** Function orbit_cam() hor_rot=(hor_rot - (mxs*.5) ) ; get the mouse x and y speed,... adjust sensitivity by half ver_rot=(ver_rot + (mys*.5) ) RotateEntity campiv_h,0,hor_rot,0 ; update the new camera pivot rotations RotateEntity campiv_v,ver_rot,0,0 End Function mxs and mys is mouseXspeed and mouseYspeed respectively enjoy.. |

| Andres: I haven't played freelancer before, but if what you're looking for is ideas for using the mouse for all three axis, maybe use the mouse wheel to affect rolling. |
