Hey all, I have an issue with my camera rotation. I can get the camera to rotate up or down ONLY if the object also rotates up or down. This is not what effect i want, and i don't think what anyone would want. Right now the camera will move left/right without flaw, and when trying to get it to look up or down, it'll be glitchy and move slightly up, but quickly return to being set looking at the player. Can anyone look at my code to see where this may be going wrong?...



I have been getting so confussed about this... thanks for any help...

Just a guess, but, in:



try changing:
pitch camera up -3

into

xrotate camera wrapvalue(camera angle x() + 3)

...pitching up by -3 actually pitches down by 3.
It's also not advisable to mix any of {rotate camera, xrotate camera, yrotate camera, zrotate camera} with {turn camera left/right, pitch camera up/down, roll camera left/right}...

The second set of the listed camera rotation commands I believe will not update camera angle x() camera angle y{} or camera angle z(), whereas the first set will...

thanks, i removed the pitch camera command completely, although i don't know how to translate this into rotate camera commands



when this is removed it seems to run smoother, but it's not positioned properly...
