I started to look around at darkGDK, I created the new>project, with a 3d game or something.
And I just don't it.... I added this:

+ Code Snippet

//Roll cameera left
		if (dbRightKey ( ) )
			dbXRotateCamera ( 1 );

And it doesn't rotate...I tried the dbXCameraRoll function and that works fine, but I don't need it to rotate, I need it to yaw to the right.

Please help someone.How would I make that camera yaw to the right when I click the rightKEY on the arrow keys.

Jason, don't confuse newcomers! I didn't even get what you said!

Hey newbie, try these functions:

dbRollCameraLeft()
dbRollCameraRight()
dbPitchCameraUp()
dbPitchCameraDown()

If you think you need other camera functions, try the DarkGDK documentation file. (In the Documentation folder)

Sorry... I looked back at this code and agreed with the complex thing - that was the wrong snippet. This uses only stock DarkGDK commands

if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num9)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumStar)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
    };

if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num3)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumPeriod)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num7)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num1)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num8)){
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumForwardSlash)){
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num2)){
     dbMoveCamera(speed*-1);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num0)){
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast*-1);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num4)){
     dbTurnCameraLeft(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num6)){
     dbTurnCameraRight(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num5)){
     dbRotateCamera(0,0,0);
    };

+ Code Snippet

    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num9)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumStar)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
    };  

    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num3)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumPeriod)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(90);
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
     dbPitchCameraUp(90);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num7)){
     dbPitchCameraDown(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num1)){
     dbPitchCameraUp(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num8)){
     dbMoveCamera(speed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_NumForwardSlash)){
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num2)){
     dbMoveCamera(speed*-1);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num0)){
     dbMoveCamera(speedfast*-1);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num4)){
     dbTurnCameraLeft(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num6)){
     dbTurnCameraRight(turnspeed);
    };  
    if(dbKeyState(cnScanCode_Num5)){
     dbRotateCamera(0,0,0);
    };

Man...I feel so embarressed now...there are many commands that look the same, so I added dbTurnCameraRight and Left. And that's what I wanted.
DarkGDK is so easy to learn. You can even guess the commands and they'll work!

And if you cant find something in the GDK help - open the DarkBasic Pro help - find what it is - then take a stab at typing dbSomeCommandName() until you find it and get the case right
