I have a mouse control so that i can look up and down and to the sides and I use the keypad to strife and go forwards and backwards. The mouse control code is very simple but it seems very choppy. Can anyone tell me why? i have the code snippet below, i also have some code in the program to make sure that it can't go off the matrix or run into walls but that shouldn't effect this because it doesn't move anywhere, just looks around. I also have code that makes sure the camera can't flip upside down so it can only rotate 180 degrees on the x axis but i don't see how this could make it choppy.

cAY# = WrapValue(cAY#+MousemoveX()*0.2)
cAX# = WrapValue(cAX#+MousemoveY()*0.2)

Rem Make sure camera can't flip upside down
if cAX# 180 then cAX#=270
if cAX# > 90 and cAX#

Thanks, it works a lot better now. i think i just needed to ajust some of the numbers that i had. the only problem with it now is that pauses for like half a second when you change directions. ie. you're turning left and then go to turn right it stalls for just the slights moment but it's enough to notice but if there isn't anything to do then i won't be that bad. Any ideas?

What do you have the smoothing set to?

I suggest 1.6.

Don't use inkey for moving around as this causes pauses when you change from one key to another (bloody annoying).

Use the other methods of input control, like keystate for example

I love it when a plan comes together
