Hey! I want to make a simple RPG to get the basics then expand onto much more. So right now i have one question:

How could I make my character point at the mouse? (Think Diablo 3) I don't want the character to rotate on the X or Z axis just the Y axis. So how are some ways to do this?

(I'm not necessarily asking for code just a method on how to do these things, although code is appreciated!)

Thanks in advanced!

What question 2?
Point object to the mouse?
You must count the Y angle based of Mouse X and Mouse Y.
I think you must you COS, TAN and/or SIN to do this. I am very bad at math..

Hey man. I'm also working on a RPG game... Got most of the mechanics sorted out.. To point the object at a mouse location is simple.. All i did was get the 3D position of the mouse click (obviously the right click) and pointed the object to that position before I moved it using dbPointObject(int, MouseHitX, TerrainHeight, MouseHitZ ). Hope this helps.
