Im new to DarkGDK and learning C++ have some experience but learning more as I go.
Ive searched the forums and have only been able to find either a basic chase cam or control with keys or always control with mouse, im trying to make it to where its a chase cam (srd person RPG style) and then you can adjust the pitch of the camera by using the mouse and right click, but i cant seem to get it right this is what i have so far.

dbPositionCamera(dbObjectPositionX(10),dbObjectPositionY(10)+25.0f,dbObjectPositionZ(10));
dbSetCameraToObjectOrientation(10);
dbXRotateCamera(camerax);
dbMoveCamera(-100.0f);
the movement works and it rotates it and the update camera keeps the angle mostly for the pitch(gets a little messed up with terrain sometimes). could use some help thanks
