| Hello, Anyone know how to control the camera using the mouse or touchpad in bb3d? Also, am I the only one not able to get onto the beginners area forum? |
| ||
| Have a look through the code archives under "user input" - should have plenty of examples. |

| MoveEntity MouseX MouseY There you go. |

| (salute) G-day Cap, I've been a beginner for over 20 years and always will be. If you're game enough then check out the way I've settled on. :) PS- with this method the player won't slide sideways on slopes. mxs = MouseXSpeed() mys = MouseYSpeed() xpos=-mxs ypos=mys If ypos>4 Then ypos=4 ; limit speed If ypos<-4 Then ypos=-4 yv#=EntityY(man1)-many ; man1 is a pivot many=EntityY(man1) If KeyHit(57) yv=4 ; jump MoveEntity man1,0,yv-.1,0 ; gravity TurnEntity camera, ypos, 0, 0 ; camera is not a child of man1 TurnEntity man1, 0, xpos, 0 RotateEntity camera ,EntityPitch(camera), EntityYaw(man1), 0 If EntityPitch(camera)>80 Then TurnEntity camera,-5,0,0 ; set limits for up and down rotation If EntityPitch(camera)<-80 Then TurnEntity camera,5,0,0 If MouseDown (2) Or KeyDown (200)=1 ; forwards MoveEntity man1,0,0,1.4 EndIf If KeyDown (208)=1 ; backwards MoveEntity man1,0,0,-1.4 EndIf PositionEntity camera, EntityX(man1),EntityY(man1)+10,EntityZ(man1) MoveEntity camera,0,0,5 ; move camera in front of model Last edited 2012 |

| Very nice camera movement ando, I had been working on an FPS but instead of camera/mouse control I had used the WSAD keys and Left and Right cursor keys for rotation. Your code helps out a lot! :) @Malice, When did you become _PJ_? |

| Glad you like it. You may have already spotted this but I was looking at the code and realised that you would probably have to check for collision with the terrain before allowing the jump to function otherwise jump would really be a fly mode. :) Last edited 2012 |
