im using Set Camera FOV to create a sniper rifle effect in my new game, but the problem im having is that when the camera is zoomed in, if you aim the camera angle anywhere above the center of the screen (e.g. looking straight ahead over the matrix) it jumps down and points at the floor!

is there something i should be doing to stop this?

btw, im using the code in the box for the camera angles

Try and replace that code with:



The problem was that the axii you went by were wrong, the y-axis controls left-right rotation, the x-axis controls up-down rotation, and the z-axis controls rolling left-right.

Whatever I did I didn't do it!

that helped fix it a little bit, but there is something else causing it to do this as well.

to make the camera movement smoother, i am trying to make the program divide the angle it increases by with the angle the camera is zoomed in

e.g.
YRotate Camera cay#/12
XRotate Camera cax#/12

but this is causing the problem i said earlier. how can i make the camera smoother like this without the problem?

You could put a maximum value on the amount cay# and cax# can rotate.
Something like:



Maybe change the 15 to a different value, depends on the speed you want.

this is annoying me now
the camera works fine when i adjust the FOV, except that it jumps rather than moves, meaning the only way to aim (its an fps) at an enemy is if they happen to be stood on one of the EXACT spots the camera jumps to!

ive tried dividing the rotate camera by 12 (because thats how far the fov is zoomed in from the original) which does work, in that it makes the camera move smooth, except when the camera points anywhere above the half way point on the screen, it jumps down and looks at the floor (meaning you can only aim at things that are lower than you)

does anybody know how to fix this, ive tried everything i can think to do with dividing the numbers in different ways, in different orders and even tried without wrapvalue() (which just makes the camera spin 360 when you try and move it)

PLEASE HELP ME!
