i was wondering if anyone had a function or subroutine that would let the camera continue moving in one direction but still look around when a certain button is pressed. i need it for a first person space combat game. i have tried alot but cant seem to get it to work. thanks

its not a bug its a ... a ... a extra feature!

i am making a space flight sim thing so i guess what i had in mind was something that would take the camera x,y,and z angles a drift it in that direction at the current speed when you push "/" but still allow the camera to look around. i tried having an object drift and the camera follow it but couldnt get it to work but maybe thats because i have been coding for 13 hours straight. but thanks
