I am trying to make a 1st person shooter. When you look down and continue looking down, however, you can rotate by 360 degrees. The same happens when you loo too far up. What can I do to solve this?

you can trap the variable that controls it with some if statements

eg: if mx > 280 then mx = 280

this would stop it going past 280 on the mx variable.

You would also need to use another variable, due to the range being 360 degrees.

`Limit up movement at 70 deg
if mx > 70 and mx < 180 then mx = 70
`Limit down movement at 70 deg
if mx < 290 and mx > 180 then mx = 290

Brains are for idiots.
